Charter ⇄ Law Crosswalk — Tokyo Metropolis

The 12 Stones Sovereign Charter is the spec. Each governance function below is traced from the Charter article that prescribes it, down to the real, enforceable law that already exists to reach the same outcome — through this tenant’s own corpus and up the full hierarchy. A roadmap of lawful correspondence, framed as a map — never an accusation.
