The Payer: "I have an assignment for you. I am offering you double your normal fee. Your track record is exemplary and I would be happy to do business with you again."
The Assassin picks up the documents from the table and begins to read. He smiles then picks up the brown envelope. He raises one eyebrow as this is the first time he has ever been offered full payment in advance as well as double the amount.
The Assassin: "You can consider it done."
The Assassin takes care of business but gets caught by law enforcement. To maintain his professionalism he remains silent during his trial and is convicted of murdering a notorious rival to The Payer.
Looking through the lens of the Law of One as I perceive it, The Payer has successfully polarised towards the negative as another negatively oriented being has done his bidding for him without coercion. No karma results, more power does.
The Assassin however took great pride in his reputation but it has become significantly damaged. The opportunity to continue learning the ways of the negative path is greatly reduced by being placed in isolation while on death row. Due to the emotional attachment with his failure he accrues Karma.
So I think attachment is the key when looking at law from a metaphysical or universal perspective, which is the difference between the gameboard and the Gameboard. In other words the Assassin is playing on the gameboard (creating karma) while The Payer is playing on the Gameboard (polarising).
I emphatically disagree and have no idea how you concluded that. Why do you think the Payer is playing on the Gameboard but the Assassin isn't? Where did you get this idea that it all depends on attachment? And why do you think the Payer is polarizing whereas the Assassin isn't?
You cannot know whether the Assassin polarizes, or in which direction, just because he is in isolation on death row. It all depends on what he chooses to do with his time, while there. Does his isolation trigger remorse? Does he 'repent' of his crimes and vow to become a better person? Does he agonize over the pain he has caused, after much introspection? If so, then he loses negative polarity and begins to polarize in the direction of positive.
If, on the other hand, he responds to the isolation by nurturing his hatred, and never has any remorse for his deeds, but instead plots his escape and plans more killing as soon as he is freed, then he continues polarizing to STS. Whether he actually kills or not is irrelevant. What sort of catalyst he has is irrelevant. What is relevant is how he responds to that catalyst, whether in prison or on the street.
Both have catalyst. Karma is simply more catalyst, based on our response to catalyst. Both men in this example are accumulating more karma. Everyone does, regardless of their choices, until they graduate from this density.
Both are playing on the gameboard.

For example a good natured person becomes a pillar of support in his/her community. They are honest, committed and see no value distinction between the local vicar and a Mongolian nomad, yet his favourite time of the week is the Saturday morning trip to the local butchers for his prime rashers of bacon?
I will answer that with a counter question: That same man, early 1800s, when slavery was still legal and socially acceptable. That man is a pillar of support in his community, is honest, committed, and goes to church every Sunday. He loves his wife dearly and has always been faithful to her. He is a good father to his children. He helps out his neighbors whenever they need help. For his entire adult life, he also 'owns' 50 black slaves, just like his father before him. He treats them pretty much the same as most slave 'owners' do: He feeds them the minimum to keep them strong, he gives them a barn and some hay to sleep in, and he whips them when they rebel or don't work like he thinks they should.
Is he harvestable?
