the 2026-08-08 and 2026-08-09 rulings landed from the seed-statics round's citation, subject to confirmation (M5)

Landed as instructed by M5 of the same dispatch, marked for the maintainer to confirm or strike. These rulings were taken in conversation, cited by the seed-statics round (projects/normativity/seed/rounds/2026-09-16-seed-statics/REPORT.md, friction F9) from its dispatch, and had no dated entry here.

2026-08-08 (1) — past-self charges burn. A mechanically filed past-self charge burns: it is consumed on filing and does not carry as recomputed state. The seed-statics round's outstanding question — whether a re-selection of a warrant strength under a canonical joint rule is such a charge (burns, so hysteresis stands without an external challenger) or recomputed state (does not burn) — is not decided by this entry and stays queued below.

2026-08-08 (6) — seam ordering. The seams run "reasons constraining → revising reasons → both": constraint by reasons is prior to revision of reasons, and the joint case is taken after both.

2026-08-09 — strength selection is locked selection. A warrant's strength is learnable by selection among nearby live candidate bounds, and a selection once taken is locked rather than recomputed; the moral reading's objection — that the moral fixture wants no lock, selection there being order-dependent (STABILIZATION.md §4 of the seed-statics round) — is noted and not answered by the ruling.
