A ULiUA-compatible reframing of acceptance as non-interference: the cessation of unnecessary effort so coordination, aliveness, and consent can return.

Working Read
This essay belongs to grounding because it treats acceptance as a reduction in unnecessary interference rather than a victory of will.
It also belongs to agency because the interesting move is not force, but the return of coordination when effort stops blocking it.

- Coordination improves when the system stops over-controlling itself.
- Consent can return when unnecessary effort is released.
