Chapter 104: Political Philosophy in τ

Political philosophy asks how collective order emerges from multiplicity. This chapter develops the categorical account: power as morphism structure in the social category, sovereignty as boundary control, and legitimacy as recognition coherence. The Power as Morphism Structure (VII.D80) formalizes political asymmetry, and the Legitimacy as Recognition Coherence proposition (VII.P25) derives the structural conditions under which authority is legitimate. Justice emerges from the categorical imperative, the dignity constraint, and the fairness protocols of earlier chapters.
