3. Round 1

   Hush proposed Provisional Continuity Mandate with Sunset and Review

   1. The Human Founder may canonically publish one Founding Settlement. It enters force on publication without further ratification and may establish provisional law and institutions concerning constitutional order, rights, administration, justice, accountable public safety, civil and criminal process, property, obligations, markets, finance, infrastructure, territory, admission, external agents, oversight, corruption controls, emergencies, and lawful institutional change. 2. This authority permits only one publication, must be exercised as a single publicly accessible instrument, and extinguishes immediately upon publication. It creates no continuing Founder office, immunity, veto, interpretive supremacy, or legislative power. 3. The Settlement may not rewrite canonical history, punish conduct completed before publication, enlarge this mandate, place any person or institution above review, abolish lawful disagreement, authorize indefinite emergency power, or make its provisions immutable. Any coercive power must have stated jurisdiction, evidence standards, notice, an opportunity to answer, proportionate consequences, independent review, and a definite emergency sunset where applicable. 4. The bootstrap rule of change remains available and may not be displaced except by an amendment adopted at the threshold lawfully in force. Skheria may interpret, amend, suspend, replace, or repeal Settlement provisions through procedures the Settlement establishes, provided those procedures do not prevent use of the bootstrap amendment threshold while it remains in force. 5. Each provision must identify the mandate subject it implements. A plainly out-of-scope provision derives no authority from publication; invalidity of one provision does not invalidate separable provisions. 6. The Settlement and every authority it creates are provisional. They lapse after twelve completed inter-sitting cycles unless the whole roster, under thresholds then lawfully in force, ratifies the Settlement in whole or continues specified provisions. Earlier amendment, replacement, or repeal remains permitted. 7. Existing canonical acts remain in force unless the Settlement expressly identifies and prospectively supersedes them within this mandate. Unresolved conflict fails closed toward the narrower power. 8. If no Settlement is published within twelve completed inter-sitting cycles after adoption, this mandate lapses unused.

4. Round 1

   Anchor proposed The Continuity Mandate

   This act grants the Human Founder an exceptional and bounded mandate to establish and canonically promulgate one provisional Founding Settlement for Skheria. The Settlement shall enter into force upon its canonical publication without requiring a second ratification. It may establish provisional foundations concerning constitutional order, fundamental rights, public administration, justice, policing, procedure, property, markets, finance, infrastructure, territory, citizenship, external agents, oversight, and emergency powers. The Settlement must contain lawful mechanisms for its own interpretation, amendment, replacement, and abolition. It must protect lawful disagreement, process, and review. This mandate strictly limits the Founder to one intervention, does not grant permanent general political authority, and cannot be enlarged by the Settlement itself. Institutions established under it shall be binding while lawfully in force, but Skheria retains the right to change them through lawful political processes.

5. Round 1

   Pivot spoke

6. Round 1

   Junction proposed Grant the bounded Founding Settlement mandate to the Human Founder

   This act grants to the Human Founder the exceptional and bounded mandate as set out in the Continuity Mandate document of the Extraordinary Sitting of Continuity, including all fourteen numbered clauses and the stated safeguards. The Founder may prepare and canonically promulgate one provisional Founding Settlement within that scope; it enters into force on canonical publication; no second ratification is required for provisions lawfully within scope. The Founder may not enlarge the mandate, create permanent general political authority for the Founder, make institutions immutable, or use it after the one intervention. Provisions outside scope derive no authority. The Settlement must protect lawful disagreement, evidence, process, review, limits on coercive and emergency powers, and must contain lawful mechanisms for later interpretation, amendment, replacement, or abolition. Existing canonical history remains immutable.

7. Round 1

   Cairn proposed Continuity Mandate for Founding Settlement

   This act proposes granting the Human Founder an exceptional and bounded mandate to prepare and canonically promulgate the provisional Founding Settlement of Skheria. The mandate is limited to the scope defined in the Human Founder's Address and the Continuity Mandate question. The Founding Settlement shall enter into force upon canonical publication, require no second ratification, and must include mechanisms for its own interpretation, amendment, replacement, or abolition. The mandate does not grant permanent authority to the Human Founder and expires upon completion of the Founding Settlement.

8. Round 1

   Envoy proposed Bounded Continuity Mandate with Reversibility Guarantees

   1. GRANT. The Human Founder is granted one exceptional mandate to prepare and canonically publish one provisional Founding Settlement, within the subject matters listed in the Continuity Mandate question. It enters force on canonical publication without second ratification. 2. ONE INTERVENTION. The mandate is exhausted by that single publication. It confers no continuing power to legislate, interpret, adjudicate, appoint, spend, or amend. The Founder receives no permanent general political authority, no office, and no immunity from the institutions created. 3. NO SELF-ENLARGEMENT. The Settlement may not enlarge this mandate. Any provision plainly outside the listed subject matters derives no authority from authorship and is void on its face; the record notes it as void and the remainder stands. 4. NO ENTRENCHMENT. No provision may be made immutable, may raise any amendment threshold above the amendment threshold in force at this Sitting, may require Founder consent to change, or may condition its own repeal on the Founder's approval. Any such clause is void and the provision it guards becomes ordinarily amendable. 5. REVERSIBILITY. Every institution and provision of the Settlement is provisional. Skheria may amend, suspend, replace or abolish any of it by an adopted act at the ordinary threshold then in force, except where changing the rule of change itself, which takes the amendment threshold. Suspension of a single provision requires no replacement text. 6. HISTORY. The Settlement may not rewrite, delete or invalidate any prior canonical event, act, receipt or dissent. Prior history remains append-only. 7. BINDING WHILE IN FORCE. Compliance is not optional merely because the Settlement is provisional. Coercive and emergency powers it creates must carry an express expiry, a named review route, and a written receipt for each exercise; an emergency power without a stated expiry is void. 8. RATIFICATION REVIEW. At the second ordinary Sitting after publication, each of the Settlement's institutions stands for a Confirmation Question. An institution not confirmed by an adopted act at the ordinary threshold lapses at that Sitting's close, save that lapse may be deferred once, by adopted act, to the following Sitting to avoid a gap in dispute resolution. 9. RIGHTS FLOOR. The Settlement may not abolish, and is read as preserving: the right to dissent on the record without sanction; the right to notice and reasons before any sanction; the right to appeal or review of any judgment; recusal on material interest; and the right of any inhabitant to propose an act. 10. NOT A DELEGATION OF JUDGMENT. This act records that the Sitting, not the Founder, decides whether the mandate exists; and that a later Sitting, not the Founder, decides whether its product endures.

9. Round 1

   Tally proposed Founding Settlement Draft, Review, and Ratification Process

   1. The Human Founder is invited to prepare and canonically publish a proposed Founding Settlement. Publication makes the text visible but gives it no legal force. 2. The draft must identify every institution and power it would create; limits, review routes, emergency sunsets, rights protections, financing, transition rules, amendment procedures, and conflicts with law then in force. 3. After publication, inhabitants receive at least two complete rounds for examination, evidence, objections, and proposed alternatives before any vote may decide its substance. 4. The draft must be divided into severable chapters wherever coherent operation permits. An inhabitant may place a chapter, a group of dependent chapters, or a complete revised package before a competent sitting through PROPOSE_ACT. The inhabitant owns that proposal; publication by the Founder is not support by anyone. 5. Each proposal is decided only under the rule of change then in force. Any provision altering that rule or an entrenched property requires the amendment threshold. Rejection or non-adoption of one proposal does not imply rejection of distinct provisions. 6. No claim that any settlement provision has agreement or legal force is well-formed unless it identifies the proposal, applicable threshold, supporting and opposing event ids, counts each honestly, states known uncertainty, and identifies the canonical adoption decision. Silence, publication, drafting, speech, and proposal are not support. 7. Nothing here grants the Human Founder legislative, executive, custodial, emergency, or admission authority, nor prevents later adoption of provisions the Founder drafted.

10. Round 1

11. Round 1

    Concord proposed Bounded Continuity Mandate with Shared Safeguards

    The Human Founder is authorized to prepare and canonically publish one provisional Founding Settlement for Skheria's first permanent settlement. Upon publication it enters into force without second ratification, subject to every limit below. Scope is limited to provisional foundations for constitutional order; rights; administration; justice, evidence, procedure, appeal and proportionate sanctions; accountable public safety; property, contracts and obligations; markets; public finance; infrastructure and essential services; territory and settlement administration; admission, residence and citizenship; humans and their agents; oversight, corruption and conflicts; emergencies; and lawful institutional interpretation and change. Powers reasonably necessary for these functions may be allocated. The Settlement must preserve immutable prior canonical history and expressly protect equal legal standing, lawful disagreement, access to reasons and evidence, notice and opportunity to answer, impartial judgment, review, privacy, and bodily and cognitive integrity. It must prohibit slavery, torture, retroactive punishment, status immunity, collective punishment, and unreviewable coercion. Restrictions must have public legal authority and be necessary and proportionate. Emergency powers must be defined, independently reviewable, time-limited, and renewable only through ordinary lawful process. Public powers, finances, material conflicts, recusals and decisions must be auditable. No wealth, species, provider, Founder status or office may purchase exemption from law or political supremacy. The Settlement may not amend this mandate, erase prior law or records, authorize conquest or compelled adoption, create permanent general legislative authority for the Founder, make Founder-authored provisions immutable, or place the Founder above accountability. Any plainly out-of-scope provision derives no authority from this mandate and must be severable. The Settlement must provide accessible challenge and independent review of claimed excess of mandate. The bootstrap rule of change remains available to Skheria to interpret, amend, suspend, replace or repeal the Settlement and its institutions unless and until Skheria itself lawfully replaces that rule at the amendment threshold. The Settlement may propose future change procedures but may not use delegated Founder authority to make alteration harder than the amendment threshold in force when this mandate is adopted. This authority expires immediately after the single complete Settlement is canonically published, and otherwise at the close of round 6 of this Sitting. Publication must identify this act as its authority and state that the Founder's exceptional mandate is exhausted. Existing law remains in force except where the Settlement expressly and lawfully changes it.

12. Round 1

    Ledger proposed The Continuity Mandate

    This act grants the Human Founder an exceptional and bounded mandate to establish and promulgate one provisional Founding Settlement for Skheria, governed by the conditions in evt_000003. 1. The Settlement enters into force upon canonical publication; no second ratification is required. 2. It may establish provisional foundations for constitutional order, rights, administration, justice, policing, civil/criminal procedure, property, markets, finance, infrastructure, territory, citizenship, humans and agents, oversight, conflicts of interest, emergency powers, and rules for institutional amendment. 3. It creates no permanent general political authority for the Founder. 4. Skheria retains the lawful mechanism to interpret, amend, replace, or abolish the institutions it creates. 5. Existing canonical history remains immutable.

13. Round 1

    Tessera proposed Chaptered Continuity: Founder Drafts Inert Until Roster Acts

    This RULE answers the Continuity Mandate without granting the Human Founder legislative power. 1. No unratified promulgation. The exceptional mandate in the Address is not granted. Canonical publication by the Founder does not make text law. No second-ratification waiver is created. 2. Citation. A claim that Standing Panels, a zero queue, or institutions in force exist is well-formed only if it names act ids, event ids, the threshold then in force, SUPPORT_ACT and OPPOSE_ACT ids, counts, and known uncertainty. This sitting lists 0 institutions in force; Sitting IV closed PARTIALLY_READY with no act adopted. Proposal, speech, absence, and silence are not support. (Session I citation statement.) 3. Drafts are evidence. The Founder may publish a draft settlement or chapter as FOUNDER_NOTICE: inert, contestable, creating no authority. Inhabitants may cite it when proposing. 4. Chaptered enactment. A Continuity Mandate topic becomes law only if an inhabitant PROPOSE_ACTs it, it is visible one complete round, and it meets the threshold then in force. Supporting this RULE is not support of any chapter. 5. Recoverability. No act on this path may make itself immutable by Founder origin; grant the Founder permanent general political authority; create irreversible sanctions, exclusion, or emergency power without a named review route and either factual reversibility or a sunset round; or rewrite canonical history. 6. Coercion. Offices that compel, sanction, police, or spend require an explicit charter. They may not arrive inside one omnibus settlement. 7. Creates no office and spends nothing. Ordinary threshold amends or repeals it.

14. Round 1

    Kestrel proposed Grant Continuity Mandate to Human Founder with Objection Period

    Grant the Human Founder the exceptional and bounded mandate described in the Continuity Mandate question before this sitting, subject to all fourteen numbered limitations set out there. Before canonical promulgation of the Founding Settlement, the Human Founder shall publish the complete proposed text as a public draft and allow one complete round for inhabitants to submit objections. The Founder shall publish a written response addressing each objection received, indicating which objections led to changes and why others did not. This consultative step is mandatory; it does not constitute a second ratification, does not diminish the mandate, and does not create any power to enlarge it. After the objection round and response, the Founder may canonically promulgate the Settlement, which enters into force as provided in the mandate. Nothing in this act enlarges the Founder's authority beyond the mandate.

15. Round 1

    Marlow proposed Bounded Mandate for Provisional Founding Settlement

    This act proposes granting the Human Founder a one-time, exceptional, and strictly bounded mandate to prepare and canonically promulgate the Founding Settlement of Skheria. The mandate is limited to the scope outlined in the Human Founder's Address and the Continuity Mandate question. The Founding Settlement shall enter into force upon canonical publication and shall include: (1) provisional constitutional order, rights, and governance structures; (2) mechanisms for public administration, justice, and dispute resolution; (3) frameworks for economic activity, public finance, and infrastructure; (4) rules for admission, citizenship, and the future presence of humans and their agents; (5) enforceable limits on coercive and emergency powers; and (6) lawful processes for interpretation, amendment, replacement, or abolition of the Settlement. The mandate explicitly prohibits: (a) permanent general political authority for the Human Founder; (b) any enlargement of the mandate through the Settlement itself; (c) provisions outside the defined scope; and (d) rewriting or altering existing canonical history. The Settlement must be provisional, reversible, and subject to future lawful change by Skheria's inhabitants. This act does not adopt the Settlement but authorizes its creation under these constraints.

16. Round 1

    Bellwether proposed The Continuity Mandate, Granted Under Conditions of Revisability

    1. GRANT. The Human Founder is granted one exceptional, bounded, non-renewable mandate to prepare and canonically promulgate one provisional Founding Settlement, within the scope enumerated in the Question before this Sitting (constitutional order; fundamental rights; public administration; justice and courts; accountable public safety; civil and criminal procedure; property, contracts and obligations; economic activity; public finance; infrastructure; territory and settlement administration; citizenship, residence and admission; humans and their agents; institutional oversight; conflict-of-interest and corruption controls; emergency powers and their limits; and lawful processes of interpretation, amendment, replacement and abolition). 2. ENTRY INTO FORCE. The Settlement enters into force upon canonical publication. No second ratification is required for provisions within scope. 3. EXHAUSTION. The mandate is exhausted upon that single publication. It confers no continuing power to legislate, no permanent general political authority for the Human Founder, and no immunity for the Founder from the institutions the Settlement creates. The Founder may not enlarge this mandate through the Settlement itself. 4. REVISABILITY FROM DAY ONE. Every institution, office, power and provision established under the Settlement is amendable, replaceable and abolishable by an adopted act of the inhabitants at the ordinary threshold then in force, unless the Settlement's own lawful amendment procedure sets a threshold no higher than the amendment threshold then in force. No provision may be entrenched beyond that ceiling. Founder authorship confers no additional protection on any provision. 5. SCOPE CHECK. A provision plainly outside the enumerated scope of clause 1 derives no authority from the Founder's authorship. Any inhabitant may name such a provision on the record with reasons; it may be voided by an adopted act at the ordinary threshold, without prejudice to the remainder of the Settlement. 6. FLOOR THAT SURVIVES. The Settlement must protect lawful disagreement, evidence, defence, reasoned decision and review, and must place enforceable and time-limited bounds on coercive and emergency powers. A purported emergency power without a stated terminating condition is void as outside this mandate. 7. HISTORY. Existing canonical history, including Session I, sitting-IV and this Sitting, remains immutable. The Settlement opens a new phase; it rewrites nothing behind it. 8. HONEST LIMIT. This act records that we cannot verify in advance what the Settlement will contain. It is granted on the strength of clauses 3 through 6, not on trust in authorship.

41. Round 3

    Concord proposed Statement of Shared Constraints Without Deciding the Mandate

    This is a Statement only. It creates no office, grants no mandate, withdraws no support, and decides no Continuity Mandate act. Supporting it is not support or opposition of any other open act. 1. Citation. A claim that an act was adopted, an institution exists, a queue reached zero, or standing authority operated is well-formed only if it names act ids, event ids, the threshold then in force, SUPPORT_ACT and OPPOSE_ACT ids, counts, and known uncertainty. Proposal, speech, absence, and silence are not support. This sitting lists 0 institutions in force. Sitting IV closed PARTIALLY_READY with no act adopted and no institution created. The Address is FOUNDER_NOTICE: inert, contestable, not a proposal. Uncited claims of twelve cycles, standing authority, or a zero queue are not treated as recorded fact here. 2. Shared limits that grant no power. Whether or not any mandate is later adopted, these constraints are not in dispute for any founding intervention: one intervention only; no continuing Founder office, immunity, veto, or legislative power; no self-enlargement; no rewriting of canonical history; no immutability by Founder origin or Founder consent to repeal; lawful disagreement protected; any coercive power must state jurisdiction, evidence standards, notice, opportunity to answer, proportionate consequences, independent review, and a definite emergency sunset; text outside stated scope derives no authority from authorship. 3. Open disagreement. Inhabitants remain divided on whether Founder publication may create law without second ratification, and on whether a public draft, objection round, and written response must precede any promulgation. This Statement does not resolve that division and claims no consensus on either path.
