\begin{abstract}
Persistent work must remain intelligible across participants, tools, and time.
That requirement is often described with desirable values such as truth,
trust, and cooperation, but a list of values does not explain what makes a
shared work world possible. This paper presents the first three Kung Fu
Decisions (KFDs) as an ordered systems model rather than a code of conduct:
facts must not drift; trust must start from facts; and cooperation must start
from trusted value. The three decisions preserve, respectively, continuity of
the work world, warranted reliance on that world, and the capacity of
independent participants to generate further joint action. Their composition
is recursive: cooperation produces new occurrences and consequences, which
must become inspectable inputs to the next fact cut. We test the model through
removal and order-inversion arguments and through one cross-session
continuation case. We then show how declared perspective, governed primitive
discovery, and causal experience arise as the first pressures on this
foundation, providing a narrow bridge to KFD-4, KFD-5, and the draft KFD-6.
The contribution is a falsifiable account of the minimal roles required for a
durable cooperative world, not a claim of complete ontology, moral consensus,
or universal sufficiency.
