Axiom-001: Anticipation

Definition:
Anticipation is the hinge where good and evil diverge.

  • Distorted by fear β†’ control, manipulation, siege β†’ evil.
  • Tended with patience β†’ readiness, care, foresight β†’ good.

Ternary mapping:

  • REFRAIN (–1): destructive anticipation, anxiety, pre-emptive harm.
  • TEND (0): neutral anticipation, watchfulness, waiting.
  • AFFIRM (+1): creative anticipation, vision, cultivation.

Implication:
Good and evil are not static forces. They emerge from how anticipation is inhabited.

Context:
This axiom unifies the older draft in docs/axioms/001.md with the new lattice. It is now the root axiom in the ternary_axioms set.
