Never delegate identity-defining decisions (those expressing core values), context-dependent judgments (requiring non-transferable accumulated knowledge), or irreversible-consequence decisions (where errors cannot be undone) — these three categories require that decision authority and accountability remain unified.

Derives from self-authority (No external entity has more right to direct your thinking, Most people do not experience themselves as the authority) and tacit knowledge (Tacit Knowledge Exceeds Linguistic Expression). Prescribes BOUNDARY CONDITIONS for the delegation framework — identifies categorical exceptions.
