A curfew is a time-based restriction on the movement of people within a defined area during specified periods. Its parameters are: (1) a defined geographic boundary — city, neighborhood, facility, or zone — within which the restriction applies, (2) a specified time window during which movement is prohibited or requires special permission, (3) an authoritative issuer — governmental body, military command, institution, or property manager — that declares the curfew, and (4) an enforcement mechanism that penalizes violations. The curfew operates as a preemptive control: it prevents movement during hours deemed risky or undesirable by the authority, rather than responding to specific incidents. It persists through legal codification, institutional practice, and the threat of sanction, functioning as a spatial-temporal instrument of social regulation. [formal: couvre-feu | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]
