# 0010: Honor, Karma, and Paragon Bridge

Status: Accepted

Date: 2026-05-25

## Context

Each cell has a local morality or reputation model, but V5 also needs a
cross-cell moral axis that can influence Bureau progression and Mind Palace
interpretation.

## Decision

V5 bridges local axes into a shared moral compass. Urban tracks Cop/Triad and
Lawful/Outlaw, Period tracks Family/Outsider and case quality, Frontier tracks
Honor/Bounty, Hunter tracks Humanity, and Sci-Fi tracks Paragon/Renegade.

## Consequences

- Local cell axes retain their own ranges and semantics.
- Shared Bureau systems consume normalized moral deltas.
- Narrative gates must state whether they depend on local or global morality.
