No internal Candeian sanction may become physical detention; material measures in the real world belong to the competent real-world authorities.

Liberty and personal security
Candeia does not exercise physical detention authority. The constitutional text combines autonomy of movement and presence with safeguards against secret custody, enforced disappearance and imprisonment for civil debt; where no valid physical competence exists, the article does not create detention powers.
Proposed Constitution · reference text · not promulgatedIn brief
A right is not an abstract promise: it constrains concrete decisions.
Candeia does not maintain physical custody. Constitutional guarantees of liberty operate as limits on rights restrictions and on power within the system; any detention or custody in the real world belongs to the competent real-world authorities and to the safeguards of the applicable legal order.
Liberty does not disappear when the State invokes security
War, emergency, terrorism or superior orders do not legitimise enforced disappearance. Even temporary restrictions on communication cannot eliminate official registration, confidential access to defence and judicial oversight.
Civil debt does not become imprisonment
Mere non-performance of a contract or civil debt does not authorise deprivation of liberty. Fraud or an independently defined crime may create separate liability, but the State may not turn inability to pay into imprisonment.
