# Integrity **Domain:** American Trust Value **System:** [[wiki/American Character|American Character]] ## Definition Integrity is the practiced agreement between principle, word, and action. It becomes visible when a person keeps a promise, refuses convenient falsification, and remains answerable after advantage changes. Integrity is not a performance of purity; it is continuity of obligation. Systems can rely on people whose commitments do not disappear when observation does. ## Place in the American System Integrity is developed from [[american/American Character - Value 01 - Integrity|American Character - Value 01 - Integrity]] and belongs to [[collections/American|the American Collection]]. Its role is to keep one stable concept available across doctrine, character, comportment, material culture, intelligence participation, and alliance work without collapsing those levels into one another. ## Relationships [[wiki/American Trust Code|American Trust Code]] · [[wiki/Truth|Truth]] · [[wiki/Responsibility|Responsibility]] ## Sources / Provenance The governing source is [[american/American Character - Value 01 - Integrity|American Character - Value 01 - Integrity]]; the wider architecture is routed through [[wiki/American System|American System]].
