A White Paper on Acting Between Faith Systems in Conflict Resolution

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of interfidation—from inter- (between) and fides (faith/trust)—as a strategic verb describing the act of intervening between systems of belief or trust to resolve conflict.

Drawing on principles of Legal Aikido and Feng Shui, we propose a methodology for transforming adversarial energy into harmonious resolution.

An appendix explores the mytho-legal implications of liminal law theory through the allegory of Jonah, the Whale, and the Jaguar.
