At times Arich Anpin removes Zeir Anpin's stern judgments entirely.
A"A can remove Z"A's stern judgments entirely — the exceptional mitigation mode, distinct from the standard sweetening Z"A undergoes.
Op. 94 specifies a structural feature of A"A's operational role. Most of the time, Z"A's stern judgments operate (with Imma's standard sweetening keeping them tractable). At certain times, A"A entirely removes Z"A's stern judgments — a different operational mode.
The standard mitigation: Imma sweetens Z"A (Op. 52); the gevurot become brotherly love operating through Malchut as container vessel; Z"A's CHaDaR runs in its normal operational form.
The exceptional mitigation: A"A removes Z"A's stern judgments entirely. This is not Imma's sweetening; it is A"A's direct intervention. The cosmic government enters a mode in which Justice is not present — only Kindness operates. This mode is exceptional — not the cycle's standard operating form but a structural-temporal phase.
When does A"A do this? At cosmic moments of special grace — Shabbat in its highest mode, festivals in their fullest operational form, eschatological moments when the cycle's ordinary rhythm is interrupted. The exceptional mitigation is the cosmic-operational form of unmitigated mercy reaching the deed-relevant level.
Op. 103 (revelation of the Forehead of Favor completely removes stern Judgment). Op. 128 (the regular oscillation between First and Second Maturity — Shabbat as the regular instance of exceptional mitigation made structurally rhythmic).
