Institutions, as Rawlsian 'basic structures' or Searlean systems of deontic status functions, have no self-realization to be impaired—their functional integrity is disrupted, not their dignity.

Basic structures(Rawls's term for the major institutions that affect everyone): The fundamental institutions and systems in a society (like government, courts, and the economy) that shape how power and resources are distributed among people.
Deontic status functions(Searle's term for socially created powers and authorities): Rules or roles that we collectively agree give certain people or groups the right to do something (like how a referee has the authority to call fouls in sports).
Functional integrity(how institutions operate, distinct from human dignity): When something is working properly and doing what it's designed to do without problems or breakdowns.
Rawlsian: "Rawlsian" refers to the ideas of philosopher John Rawls, who developed an influential theory of what makes a society fair and just. His key idea is that a fair society should be organized as if people didn't know what position they'd occupy in it—meaning the rules should benefit everyone, especially the least advantaged, since anyone could end up in that situation. Rawls fundamentally changed how people think about justice and equality in modern democracies.
