Kinetic vandalism

ATH

Kinetic Vandalism is the formally proven condition in which a maintenance intervention does more harm than good. It is defined through the Chronostructural Drag Coefficient (χ): when χ exceeds 1.0, the act of 'cleaning' adds entropy faster than it removes it — abrasive, uncalibrated methods such as high-pressure washing on friable stone physically expand the substrate's surface area and accelerate decay. Kinetic Vandalism is therefore the doctrine's name for well-intentioned but destructive labour, and the mathematical justification for the non-destructive, precisely-calibrated Sovereign Protocols that replace it.
