Explanation
Warning Language / Burned Credibility describes a system-level failure in which institutions damage their own capacity to be believed. The issue is not simply lying or error, but the exhaustion of warning language through bad planning, overreach, inconsistency, or manipulative use. When a real danger arrives, the public has been trained not to hear it properly. This concept is central to When The Sky Meant It and also connects to wider ASTRA MIRROR concerns about trust, legitimacy, and the gap between formal statement and lived consequence.
