Chaudry https://orcid.org/0009-0008-1563-9401 08 02 2026 Jabran.com Artificial intelligence has been theorised almost entirely as a producer of representations. This treatise argues that the arrival of embodied systems terminates the adequacy of that framing, not by degree but by kind: embodiment transforms intelligence from epistemic output into physically answerable agency. An erroneous representation stands open to correction; an erroneous act has already occurred, in a room, on a body, to a person who did not evaluate it first. From this asymmetry the work derives the Law of Embodied Relevance — an embodied system may act only when the proposed action is justified by task, permission, safety, privacy, dignity, reversibility, and answerability together — and develops the ontology of the act it presupposes, relocating relevance from what should be answered to what may be done, reconstructing permission as the boundary between capability and legitimacy, arguing that refusal is the condition of trustworthy obedience, treating contact as a moral threshold and the home as a moral interior, introducing the right to be uncomputed, and extending the analysis to the conditional case of general intelligence with world-access, where the unit of concern is the fleet rather than the machine. It closes with a formal apparatus and with the conditions under which its central claim would be false. WORK-000004
