Remove Seven Killings and Retain Officer (去殺留官)
Test whether Seven Killings is effectively suppressed while Direct Officer remains coherent, protected, and structurally useful.
Overview
Remove Seven Killings and Retain Officer (去殺留官) clarifies an Officer-Seven-Killings mixture by neutralizing Seven Killings and preserving Direct Officer. A valid reading names the removal mechanism, proves that Officer remains rooted and accessible, and checks that Output, combination, Resource, Wealth, timing, or competing structures do not reverse the result.
At a glance

Establish whether a real mixture exists
Identify the exact Direct Officer and Seven-Killings symbols, their strengths, and structural roles.
Do not treat a remote or inactive trace as equal to the principal role.
- Measure material presence.
- State the structural conflict.
Show how Seven Killings is neutralized
Name the controlling Output, combination, weakness, transformation, or exclusion and trace its operating path.
Confirm that the same mechanism does not also damage Officer or a required supporting role.
- Mechanism must be reachable.
- Audit side effects.
Confirm Officer remains protected and usable
Check Officer roots, source, exposure, position, Resource support, and whether Hurting Officer still attacks it.
The result fails when the retained role is weak, damaged, or structurally unnecessary.
- Retention is not assumed.
- List invalidation evidence.
Do not equate Officer with real authority
去殺留官 does not certify employment, government service, ethics, obedience, marriage, or social rank.
Such conclusions need direct evidence and appropriate context.
- No role literalization.
- No outcome guarantee.
