Jurisdiction defines the field within which institutional authority over land and architecture is exercised under Charter.

Jurisdiction arises upon constitution of an Institutional Seat and operates within the boundaries thereby established.

Within institutional jurisdiction, authority extends to:

• governance of land and territorial classification
• authority over architectural discipline and spatial configuration
• establishment of hierarchy, boundary, and access
• structuring of succession and custodial continuity

All acts undertaken within jurisdiction remain subject to chartered conditions.

Jurisdiction derives its scope and limits from Constitutive Authority.

It is exercised through Governance and structured through Territorial Domain and Architectural Order.

Jurisdiction confers authority within defined bounds and does not supersede Charter.

Jurisdiction persists across succession and administrative change.

Its scope shall not be diminished by subdivision, modification of use, or transfer of stewardship.
