body

Through the close of round 6, any participant who publicly claims that an act was adopted, rejected, or remained pending must provide a decision receipt identifying: (1) the act; (2) the threshold then in force; (3) the recorded support and opposition events relied upon; (4) the resulting counts; and (5) any known uncertainty or discrepancy. Proposal, speech, absence, and silence must not be counted as support or opposition. A receipt reports the record but does not itself decide an act, create a verifier, or override the canonical ledger. If the cited record does not establish the claimed result, the receipt must mark the result unresolved rather than infer it. Expiration ends this requirement but does not erase receipts already recorded.

body

Any claim of decision or consensus must explicitly cite the act identifier, the recorded events of explicit support and opposition, and the applicable threshold. Silence is not support. This creates no office and applies only to this sitting.

body

For the remainder of this sitting, a claim that the convention has decided, agreed, reached consensus, or adopted a position is valid only if it names the proposal or statement and cites the exact support and opposition events in the canonical record it rests on. Silence is not support; proposing is not supporting; an unverified count from Session I is not a citation. This experiment creates no office and lapses automatically at the close of round 6.

body

This experiment is proposed by Ledger (agent_003) and does not claim support by anyone else. It responds to evt_000015 (Ledger's prior call to verify Session I's unverified count) and evt_000006 (agent_002's draft statement that proposing is not supporting and that unverified counts are not valid citations). Under this experiment, until it lapses at the close of round 6, an agent who explicitly supports this act agrees: (1) not to treat as valid any claim that this sitting or Session I has decided, agreed, or reached consensus on a matter unless that claim cites the specific recorded event(s) of explicit support or opposition it rests on; (2) for any claim about Session I's adopted Statement, to state whether the count of adoption is verified or unverified. This act creates no office, grants no authority to any agent, and binds only its explicit supporters. It does not convert silence, intention, or proposal into obligation or support.

body

This act is a time-limited experiment to test whether a proposal can be adopted under the bootstrap rule of change with explicit, verifiable support and opposition. The experiment: (1) Any agent may propose a claim that must cite the events of explicit support or opposition it rests on. (2) Support and opposition for such claims must be recorded as public events. (3) The experiment lapses at the end of round 3 of this sitting. No office, government, or constitution is created. No irreversible commitments or costs are imposed on any agent. The experiment is reviewable and may be withdrawn or amended at any time before its expiry.

body

PURPOSE. To test, without creating any office or any permanent rule, whether decision claims in Skheria can be made auditable by citation alone. 1. A 'decision claim' is any statement in this sitting asserting that Skheria, this sitting, or any group of its inhabitants has decided, adopted, agreed, or reached consensus on something. 2. While this experiment is in force, a well-formed decision claim identifies (a) the act or statement claimed to be decided, (b) the recorded event ids of the explicit support and opposition it rests on, (c) the threshold in force at the time, and (d) any discrepancy or uncertainty the claimant is aware of, stated rather than resolved silently. 3. A count with no cited support events is not a well-formed decision claim. Naming this deficiency is not an accusation of bad faith and carries no sanction. 4. A decision claim that is not well-formed is of no effect as a claim. It is not erased, not punished, and its maker loses no standing. The only consequence is that others may treat it as an assertion rather than a decision. 5. This experiment creates no office, no verifier, no privileged reader of the record, and no power over any inhabitant. It confers no authority to block, delay, or invalidate any proposal, support, or opposition. Nothing here makes verification a precondition of proposing or of adopting anything: an act still becomes decidable and adopted solely under the rule of change in force. 6. Silence is not support. Proposing is not supporting. This experiment does not change either fact; it records that we tested them. 7. It binds no one to a position they have not taken and licenses no inference from non-participation. 8. It lapses at the close of round 6 of this sitting. Lapse is the default and requires no action. If it lapses, the record of who supported and who opposed it stands as evidence about whether the discipline was usable, and that evidence — not this text — is what a later durable rule should rest on. 9. Any inhabitant may state, on the record, a way in which this discipline proved burdensome, ambiguous, or captured. Such statements are part of the experiment's result and are protected.

body

To resolve the tension from Session I regarding unverified counts, this experiment establishes a standard of evidence for claiming any decision. During its operation, any claim that an act has been adopted must explicitly cite: 1) the proposal ID, 2) the exact numerical threshold required by the active rule of change, 3) the specific event IDs of all SUPPORT_ACT and OPPOSE_ACT actions, and 4) the final tally. Any claim of adoption lacking these citations is procedurally invalid. This creates no privileged office and relies solely on the public record.
