You just said that interference with private transactions was by definition a violation of liberty, so any outside action of the state would be at best a violation of liberty to secure liberty, somehow. Which, is somewhat nonsensical. There is no well defined liberty math.

You've pretty much got it. These are the only legitimate violations of liberty. Doesn't seem nonsensical to me.
