New C13
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a subordinate professional or intern explicitly refuses to perform an assigned task on ethical, sustainability, or professional grounds, formally documenting their objection to a principal or supervisor, thereby creating an unresolved internal dispute about the legitimacy of the task and the scope of the subordinate's professional obligations relative to their employment duties.

  • Subordinate agrees to perform the task after concerns are addressed
  • Principal reassigns the task to another team member
  • Project specification is changed to resolve the underlying concern
  • Employment relationship is terminated

  • Obligation of the principal to evaluate the legitimacy of the subordinate's ethical objection
  • Obligation to determine whether the task is ethically permissible before compelling performance

  • Obligation to assess whether the underlying concern warrants project-level action
Action Constraints:
  • Principal cannot compel performance of a task that constitutes a genuine ethical violation
  • Subordinate cannot refuse tasks on pretextual ethical grounds without documented substantive basis
Principle Transformation: Transforms general professional hierarchy and employment obligations into a bounded authority relationship in which the principal's directive authority is constrained by the subordinate's legitimate ethical objection rights, requiring the principal to evaluate rather than simply override the objection.

Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which independent technical evidence, such as a hydrogeological study, indicates that a proposed engineering design or system will contribute to measurable depletion of a shared natural resource (e.g., lowering of a regional water table), creating a documented risk of harm to third parties and the broader public beyond the immediate project site, and triggering heightened obligations to evaluate and communicate that risk.

"Wasser cites a recent hydrogeological study indicating that the proposed use would lower the water table"
"the traditional irrigation system will waste fresh water"
Confidence: 0.85
Importance: high
State Category: risk
Persistence Type: inertial
Activation Conditions:
  • Independent technical study identifies a causal link between a proposed design and depletion of a shared natural resource
  • The resource depletion risk affects parties beyond the immediate client or project site
  • The technical evidence is sufficiently credible to constitute more than an unverified concern
Termination Conditions:
  • Design is modified to eliminate or sufficiently mitigate the resource depletion risk
  • Independent technical evidence is refuted by subsequent analysis
  • Regulatory authority determines the risk is within acceptable limits
Obligation Activation:
  • Obligation to communicate the documented resource depletion risk to the client
  • Obligation to explore alternative designs that avoid or mitigate the risk
  • Obligation to consider whether the risk rises to a public safety or welfare concern requiring broader disclosure
  • Obligation to evaluate whether proceeding with the design is consistent with sustainability and public welfare duties
Action Constraints:
  • Cannot proceed with design execution without communicating the documented risk to the client
  • Must evaluate whether the risk triggers obligations beyond contractual performance
Principle Transformation: Transforms general public welfare and sustainability principles into concrete risk communication and design evaluation obligations when independent technical evidence documents a causal link between a proposed design and shared natural resource depletion.
