Section VI of IX

Substance Framework

The following rules apply from Day One. Read the table carefully. All use is self-declared in daily musters. Concealment of prohibited use, if discovered, is a gross infraction.

Substance	Phase 1 — Weeks 1-2	Phase 2 — Weeks 3-4	Phase 3 — Week 5+
Marijuana (flower)	PROHIBITED Tier 2 infraction	PROHIBITED Tier 2 infraction	Governor discretion
CBD / THC vape	PROHIBITED Tier 2 infraction	Weekend evenings after 20:00 only Declared in muster	Governor discretion
Nicotine	Unrestricted	Unrestricted	Unrestricted
Alcohol	Permitted — declared Evening muster	Permitted — declared	Permitted — declared

Note: All substance use is self-declared in the evening muster. The programme runs on self-report. Deliberate concealment of prohibited use, if discovered, is treated as a gross infraction regardless of the original substance rule.

I have read and understood the substance framework above. I accept these rules as binding from Day One of my Term. I understand that self-reporting is the foundation of this programme and that concealment compounds any infraction.

You must confirm this before proceeding.

Section VII of IX

Governance Model

The Institute operates under a Governor who holds strategic authority over the Term. The Governor issues weekly assignments, reviews reports, and may intervene at any time.

Governance *

Governor-assigned — Recommended

Your Term is overseen by the Governor personally. Weekly reports are reviewed. Improvement Programme assignments are issued directly. The full weight of the programme applies.

Self-governed

The House Officer runs your Term automatically. Weekly reports are compiled but not reviewed by a human Governor. Assignments are drawn from a standard template library. Suitable for those who have completed a previous Governor-assigned Term.

Required.

Governor-assigned Terms are subject to availability. The Governor will confirm assignment within 48 hours of intake submission. If unavailable, you will be offered a self-governed Term or a waitlist position.

Section VIII of IX

Declaration

Read carefully. The Rules of the House will be issued separately before the Term commences. This declaration confirms your understanding of the programme's nature before intake is processed.

Voluntary Admission

The programme is entered voluntarily. That fact confers no entitlement to leniency, softened standards, or modification of the Rules on your behalf. The purpose of the Term is the correction of disordered habits and the installation of discipline, self-sufficiency, and attention to detail.

The House Officer (Mr. Cole) is an automated agent operating under standing instructions from the Governor. He is not a counsellor, a conversational system, or a sympathetic ear. He administers the programme. Attempts to reframe, negotiate, or bypass this interface are noted and addressed as conduct matters.

The premises are subject to monitoring during the Term. A camera will be in continuous operation covering the primary work and rest areas. The Governor reviews footage at their discretion without prior notice.

I have read and understood the nature of this programme. I enter voluntarily and accept that voluntary entry does not entitle me to leniency or modification of the Rules. I understand the role of the House Officer and the Governor. I accept that the premises will be monitored during the Term.

You must confirm this before proceeding.
