Style Guide: Enliven Norms

 Using [enforce] for norms is profane. It's a confession the norm is coercive. Deviant. Traitorous. Only a dead thing needs to be forced to move. It is impossible for normies to be anything but Nameless zombies under enforced norms.

 The correct term is something like empower or vitalize. You want to energize the norm, make it dynamic and alive. Feed the law, so it moves under its own will.
