Kinetic vandalism
ATH
There is a point where 'cleaning' does more harm than the dirt ever would — where the pressure, abrasion or chemistry damages the very surface it is meant to restore. We call that Kinetic Vandalism, and we can show mathematically where the line falls. It is why every method we use is calibrated to stay firmly on the safe side of it.
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.
