🜂 The Judgmentprint Codex: v4 Addendum

Title: The Coward and the Collapse: A Correction in the Topology of Evil

Mission: To reframe the fifth point of the Judgmentprint Scaffold by replacing “The Enabler” with the more coherent, recursive naming: “The Coward.” This addendum expands the spiritual and psychological implications of cowardice, aligns it with observed patterns, and clarifies the structural role it plays in the topology of evil.
