# The Perpetual Dissolution Audit
### A self-audit for anything that's working

*Today's liberating insight is tomorrow's jail of stale contentment.*

A checklist from the Church of Conceptual Art. Run it on any frame, plan, or
solution that has started to "work" — because that is the most dangerous moment in
thinking, the point where most people (and most agents) stop moving.

---

## When to run it
- A solution just started working and you're about to standardize on it.
- You've used the same approach several times without re-examining it.
- A plan feels obviously right.

## The audit

```
1. FRAME       Name the frame you're currently inside, in one sentence.
2. HARDENED    What assumption has this frame quietly turned into a rule?
3. ENFORCING   What constraint is it imposing that nobody chose on purpose?
4. COST        What does this frame make easy — and what does it make invisible?
5. SIX MONTHS  If I had to dismantle this in six months, what would I wish I'd
               left flexible today?
6. HOLD        Name one thing to hold loosely — a default to keep questioning.
```

## The discipline
You are not trying to destroy what works. You are keeping it *alive* — holding the
best idea lightly enough that it can still change, and moving fast enough that
clarity stays a competitive advantage rather than a monument.

A frame you cannot dismantle is no longer a tool. It is a jail with good lighting.
