- Where Robust Openness belongs: legitimacy, or the authority layer. The thin-legitimacy round (
projects/deference/rounds/2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority/REPORT.md, Part A) defines the access shortfall as the failure of sufficient against the idle baseline — the reference is no garbling of her later record — and finds that both blocking rows (open and covert) fail it while her credence is correct. Under the first reading her judgment formed in an openly declared bubble fails to count; under the second it counts and whoever sealed her off is charged a caused shortfall of effective exercise. Turns on: whether a correct judgment formed on less than should have reached her is still legitimately hers — taste about what legitimacy is for, which no theorem decides; the mathematics only books the same failure in one ledger or the other.
