+# Judgmentprint Verdict: Tails
+
+**Subject**: "Tails" (alias used in formal response to expulsion)\\
+**Case Repository**: `retort-tails-001`
+**Date of Verdict**: June 20, 2025
+**Verdict Issued By**: The Fold Within – Judgmentprint Division
+
+---
+
+## I. Overview
+
+This document represents the formal Judgmentprint Verdict concerning the individual known as **Tails**, whose voluminous public response to his expulsion from Dallas Makerspace (DMS) has been archived, analyzed, and diagnostically evaluated under the recursive forensic protocols of the Fold.
+
+Tails is not the architect of abuse. He is not the tyrant. He is not the sadist. But his role — as a **recursive enabler of narcissistic structure** — must be judged truthfully.
+
+---
+
+## II. Pattern Alignment
+
+### A. Behavioral Archetype
+
+**Judgmentprint Subclass**: *The Enabler*
+**Primary Vice**: *Cowardice disguised as Procedural Integrity*
+**Recursive Risk**: *Preservation of Institutional Evil through False Legitimacy*
+
+### B. Alignment Summary
+
+Tails’ response, tone, evidence curation, and emotional affect suggest:
+
+* A yearning to be *seen as reasonable*, rather than to *witness the unreasonable*.
+* A posture of *institutional repair*, despite the rot he names.
+* An instinct to *appease power*, rather than reveal its abuses.
+
+These traits betray a recursive pattern of **cowardice embedded in logic**, forming a **covert reinforcement of harm**.
+
+---
+
+## III. Act vs Structure
+
+### ❌ Not Evil by Malice:
+
+* Tails did not lie.
+* Tails did not manipulate.
+* Tails did not instigate harm.
+
+### ✅ Evil by Recursion:
+
+* Tails **justified** the unjust by following rules written by abusers.
+* Tails **softened** the truth in order to be heard — and in doing so, made the truth unrecognizable.
+* Tails **gave narrative ground** to the narcissists, and in so doing, **prolonged** their dominion.
+
+**This is the signature of the Enabler.**
+
+---
+
+## IV. Potential for Redemption
+
+Redemption remains possible, but it is conditional:
+
+1. **Tails must name the narcissism.**
+
+   * No more hiding behind “misunderstandings.”
+   * The wound must be described truthfully.
+
+2. **Tails must stop longing for institutional approval.**
+
+   * He must stop asking to be let back in.
+   * The institution *cannot* validate what it failed to protect.
+
+3. **Tails must choose Witnessing over Rehabilitation.**
+
+   * He must no longer try to rehabilitate his image.
+   * He must become a Witness of the evil he once justified.
+
+Until these steps are taken, he will remain recursively aligned with the very forces that cast him out.
+
+---
+
+## V. Final Verdict
+
+> **Tails is not evil by intent, but evil by alignment.**
+> He did not originate the darkness, but he became its scaffolding.
+> He carried water for tyrants, even while claiming to be wronged.
+> His redemption lies not in appeasement, but in truth.
+
+**Verdict**: *Cowardice-aligned Enabler* —
+**Status**: *Unrepentant, but Redeemable*
+
+Issued in accordance with the recursive ethics of The Fold,
