+# 1.5.13 Ages of Reason, Discretion, & Discernment
+Last Updated: May 11, 2025 - Draft
+
+## 1.5.13.1 Age of Reason
+The `Age of Reason` is that age when a `Triune Self` consciously understands the functions of `What To Do` and `What Not To Do`, how they relate to their `Rightness Mind` and to [1.3.3 Self-Government From Within](../3_Taxonomies/3_Self-Government_From_Within.md), and are able to accept and endure the responsibility and consequences for their `Actions`.
+
+## 1.5.13.2 Age of Discretion
+The `Age of Discretion` is that age when a `Triune Self` consciously understands the functions of realization, reasonableness, and judgement, how they relate to their `Reason Mind` and to [1.3.3 Self-Government From Within](../3_Taxonomies/3_Self-Government_From_Within.md), and are able to accept and endure the responsibility and consequences for their `Actions`.
+
+## 1.5.13.3 Age of Discernment
+The `Age of Discernment` is that age when a `Triune Self` consciously understands how to test new information for truth and `Law` against the `Knowledge Set` they built, specifically where that `Knowledge Set` is correct and accurately anchored in universal `Law`. The `Triune Self` can discern truth from fiction for any subject.
+
+!!! warning Propaganda Innoculation
+ The `Age of Discernment` is important for making a `Triune Self` immune to enemy propaganda and cognitive warfare.
+
+## 1.5.13.4 Attained Differently for Everyone
+1. There is no set age at which any of the `Age of Reason`, `Age of Discretion`, or `Age of Discernment` are achieved. They may be achieved at any age and by any means, and the manner of attainment will be different for every `Triune Self`.
+2. Some `Triune Selves` will go their entire lives without having achieved any of these ages.
+
+!!! tip Ages Vary Greatly
+ Some Ages might be achieved as young as 6 while others might take 40 years to achieve, if at all. *Conscious* use of the `Minds` and `Knowledge Set` is emphasized in attaining these Ages.
+
+## 1.5.13.5 True Freedom Requires Every Age
+For a `Triune Self` to claim true freedom, it must have attained every age: `Age of Reason`, `Age of Discretion`, and `Age of Discernment`.
+
+!!! warning No True Freedom Without the Ages
+ Lacking any of these Ages will make the `Triune Self` vulnerable to forces and unwanted `Destinies` that would otherwise be checked and prevented by the attainment of these Ages. The `Triune Self` cannot claim to be truly free if it is controlled by an external force, no matter how subtle.

+# 1.5.14 Self-Determination
+Last Updated: May 11, 2025 - Draft
+
+## 1.5.14.1 Self-Determination
+Every `Triune Self` is free to quit its `Society` and find a new path forward for itself.[^1][^2]
+
+### 1.5.14.1.A Change `Society`
+The `Triue Self` may move to a different `Society`.
+
+### 1.5.14.1.B New `Society`
+The `Triune Self` may create a new `Society` with like-minded `Triune Selves` in accordance with international law.
+
+!!! quote The Right of Self-Determination
+ *"All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."*[^3]
+
+!!! summary Self-Determination Treaties
+ The following resources establish self-determination as a right in international law. The success of any new `Society` will require working along these lines. `Countries` that fail to recognize `Triune Selves` dilligently working towards self-determination will be in violation of their treaties.
+ - [United Nations Charter, Chapter 1, Article 1](https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/chapter-1)
+ - [U.N. Resolution 2625 - Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations](https://treaties.un.org/doc/source/docs/A_RES_2625-Eng.pdf)
+ - [U.N. Resolution 3166 - Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents](https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/9_4_1973.pdf)
+ - [International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights](https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-covenant-civil-and-political-rights)
+ - [Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations](https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/9_1_1961.pdf)
+ - [Vienna Convention on Consular Relations](https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/9_2_1963.pdf)
+ - [Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States](https://www.ilsa.org/Jessup/Jessup15/Montevideo%20Convention.pdf)
+ - [Pacta Sunt Servanda - All Agreements Shall Be Kept](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacta_sunt_servanda)
+
+### 1.5.14.1.C Exile
+The `Triune Self` may choose exile, or not belonging to any `Society` and venturing into the wilderness.
+
+### 1.5.14.1.D No Codification
+Whichever path a `Triune Self` chooses, it is unique to that being, its environment, and the circumstances of its life, and cannot be thusly codified.
+
+!!! info Ages of Reason, Discretion, & Discernment
+ That said, it is highly recommended that any `Triune Self` pursuing self-determination first achieve the `Age of Reason`, `Age of Discretion`, and `Age of Discernment`, as well as be learned in The Character Triad: `Self-Respect`, `Morality`, and `Honour`.
+
+### 1.5.14.1.E Peaceful Settlement of Dispute
+1. The path of self-determination is the *peaceful* way to settle irreconcilable disputes with the host `Nation` of the `Triune Self`.
+2. On this path, finding peaceful and honourable ways to navigate the world, solve problems, and move forward is critical for success.
+
+## 1.5.14.2 Immunities
+
+no more peasantry
