Weapon

Weapon names capacity redirected toward force, harm, threat, disabling, coercion, override, or forced resolution.

A weapon is not first a different kind of thing. It is a different carried relation. A knife, hammer, AI system, beam, vehicle, word, or law can move between tool and weapon depending on the use-path that carries it.

Where Tool translates relation into a usable resolution band, weapon redirects capacity so the relation must resolve under imposed constraint, threat, harm, or consequence.

Places

Weapon places the use-path where made or available capacity is directed toward force, damage, threat, disabling, coercion, override, or forced resolution.

Holds

Weapon is held by Making, Tool, Control, Harm, Violation, and Compatibility. Capacity must be available through a made or usable form, and compatible participation must be at stake, before redirected capacity can be read as weapon.

Pairs

Tool / Weapon is a use-path distinction, not a simple object pair.

Tool names capacity translated into compatible extension.

Weapon names capacity redirected into force, harm, threat, disabling, coercion, override, or forced resolution.

The same object can move between tool and weapon depending on relation. A knife cutting food is tool; a knife used to threaten is weapon. A hammer building framing is tool; a hammer used to strike someone is weapon. AI helping trace decisions is tool; AI manipulating behaviour is weapon. A solar beam powering a receiver is tool; a solar beam used to damage or coerce is weapon.

Nests

Weapon nests within the Making Field as the redirected use of made or available capacity.

Reads

Weapon becomes readable where capacity that could extend participation is redirected into forcing, damaging, disabling, threatening, coercing, overriding, or imposing resolution on compatible participation.

This keeps the distinction out of the object alone. The thing-read may remain the same; the use-path changes what relation it carries.

A weapon does not only act on a body or object. It acts on a resolution band. It can narrow response, overwhelm carrying, impose consequence faster than a participant can integrate it, or make refusal too costly to remain compatible.
