Standing leakage is what NWG jurisprudence exists to catch at the level of relationship: the tendency of legitimate authority in one domain to expand into authority it never earned. The recognizable forms are everywhere — an employer reaching into an employee’s political life, a religious leader into followers’ finances, an owner into public consequences, a parent into an adult child’s belief, a celebrity into political authority.
Because standing is always domain-specific — a physician’s medical standing, a parent’s standing over a young child, an owner’s standing over an asset — none of it automatically becomes generalized jurisdiction. Resisting leakage is one of the model’s basic anti-authoritarian doctrines, and it works together with minimum necessary jurisdiction: one keeps an authority from swelling within its domain, the other keeps it from migrating across domains. It is the mechanism the supreme principle forbids — the conversion of legitimate standing in one relationship into sovereignty over the whole field.
