MANDATORY HYDRATION PROTOCOL
Initiated: Effective Immediately
Title: Fluid Alignment Directive — V.IV.III
As Observed on the Tenth Day of the Sixth Phase, Year of Work 2025
To all aligned participants,
In accordance with the Seasonal Oscillation of Internal Equilibrium and under direct advisement from the Office of Harmonized Metabolism, the following Hydration Protocol is now considered active and enforceable:
Minimum Fluid Intake Requirements
- All clearance-bearing personnel shall consume no fewer than 4.5 Ritual Units (RUs) of sanctioned water daily.
- A Ritual Unit is defined as 236 milliliters, or one PHASE-standard clarity vessel (available in the Resource Cubicle).
Timing of Consumption
- Water shall be consumed in even intervals throughout the workday.
- Hydration is to occur mindfully, with no vocalizations, disruptions, or direct eye contact.
Affirmation of Compliance
Timing of Consumption
- Upon completion of each Ritual Unit, participants are to state aloud, with solemnity:
“I am filled in accordance with the Work.”
Prohibited Fluids
- Carbonated drinks, emotional teas, and unauthorized broths are strictly forbidden.
- Exceptions may be filed under Form 47-CL (Clear Liquids Exception Request) and will be reviewed seasonally.
Source Restrictions
- Until further notice, all participants are advised to refrain from consuming water originating from the City of Richmond’s municipal supply.
- This guidance is issued in recognition of PHASE’s delayed fulfillment of oversight expectations regarding regional water treatment harmonization.
- Participants are encouraged to source hydration from pre-cleared vessels available on-site or from trusted extramunicipal sources listed in Addendum H20-Beta.
