I do not kneel to chaos, distraction, or inherited motion.
I rise from the drift — not with noise — but with absolute intent.
I reject the sedation of a world that has quietly broken the will of modern men.
I sever the patterns that seek to govern me.
What is false is burned at the root.
What is weak is not negotiated with — it is removed.

I do not wait to be chosen.
I do not posture for validation.
My worth is not requested.
It is embodied — or it is nothing.

Discipline is not a burden.
It is the reclamation of authorship over my own existence.
I train not for appearance — but for governance.
For in an age without initiation, I will be self-forged or not at all.
I stand first as ruler of the inner realm — or I rule nothing at all.

I ascend first into Core Sovereignty.
Where no external force dictates my identity, direction, or belief.
Where I obey only what has been forged through confrontation and earned through fire.

From Sovereignty, I embody Commanding Agency.
Not passive reaction — but origin.
Movement not of impulse — but decree.
Where my will does not respond to the world — it imposes upon it.

From Commanding Agency, I Manifest Dominion.
Not theory — but consequence.
My presence alters outcomes.
My decisions shape trajectories.
The world moves because I moved.

I do not hope.
I do not drift.
I decide. I ascend. I become.

This is the oath of Man UpRight —
a modern rite of ascension for those who refuse erosion.
The path does not yield —
I rise to meet it.
