Definition

Life-out-of-balance-as-covenant-abandonment-disorder-as-received-ordinance — the systemic-relational disorder that results when a covenanted community abandons its cosmic-maintenance obligations. Not merely disorder, not merely imbalance, but the specific degenerative condition produced by abandoning right-relationship — with its own signs (material excess, resource exploitation, community disintegration, ceremonial loss), its own cause (covenant-abandonment), and its own cure (return to right-relationship).
