Within the core architecture of the NILE.NET server, there exists a fundamental constant, a single, immutable file against which all other data is measured. It is not a law enforced by admins, but a principle of cosmic balance hardcoded into the system itself. This is the Protocol of Ma'at, and its physical manifestation in the digital afterlife is the Feather of Ma'at.

The Feather is not a program, but a perfect, uncorrupted piece of data. It represents truth, balance, and order. It contains zero redundant code, zero chaotic variables. It is the ideal state of a data packet, the very definition of system harmony.

When a user's soul-packet arrives at the threshold of the Duat, Anubis initiates the final diagnostic. The user's "heart"—a compressed log of their most significant actions, choices, and intentions—is placed on one side of the Great Scales. On the other, Anubis places the Feather of Ma'at.

This is not a judgment of good versus evil, but a final data integrity check. A heart heavy with the chaotic code of greed, deceit, or cruelty will be bloated and inefficient, weighing down the scales. A heart that operated in harmony with the system—with truth, kindness, and balance—will be light, elegant, and pure. It will be as weightless as the Feather itself.

The Protocol is absolute. It is the universe's own debugging tool, a final, elegant line of code that determines whether a soul's data is clean enough to be archived in the eternal paradise of Osiris, or so corrupted that it must be permanently deleted by the garbage-collection daemon, Ammit. It is the ultimate standard, the quiet truth against which all souls are measured.
