It is the act of tracing your own source code — from one container to the next — until you see exactly how each environment has written itself into you. It is the choice to stop running inherited code by default and rebuild from sources you have cultivated yourself, even if that means living unconventionally to access those sources.
Sovereignty is trusting your signal — your feelings, your logic, your ethics, your intuition, your body — to be tracking something your conscious mind hasn’t yet caught up to. It is following that signal with the trust you’ve earned through a lifetime of choices, or through a sustained period of new ones.
Sovereignty is refusing to outsource your answers, even when the world gives you every reason to do so.
Sovereignty is selfhood.
