Item 88: Affordability from the traderization perspective: a canonical presentation
Deference line — second wave · difficulty open · project normativity.legitimacy · open · node item-88
The affordability line (the 2026-08-31 normative-affordability round and its nine dispatches) established the fixed-era theory: date costs, star-shaped persistence and its liminf L_t(1) = 0 criterion, the sharp robust liability charge, bounded-delay serviceability and the liability–timeliness tradeoff, the claim-normalized transport residual, and the sharp timely-service theorem. Every one of those is stated over schedules, budgets and deficits. What does not exist is the same theory presented from the general traderization perspective of the traderized-enforcement round: enforcement intensity as what the market maker's cumulative cap supplies, liability as the signed cumulative account, service and persistence as statements about the positions traders are permitted to hold, and Progress as the market's own exclusion of still-live worlds.
Produce that presentation: one document, with the fixed-era results restated as consequences of the traderized objects (naming which are identities, which need the force interface, which need the settlement assumptions), the vocabulary map to the canonical terms, and the list of what the traderized reading cannot express — the places where the schedule-side theory has content the market-side objects do not carry. Item 61 (a source with summable enforcement liability) is to be read against this presentation: the condition it asks for should appear as a property of the traderized account, or the presentation should say why it cannot.
Deliverable shape: the presentation, its vocabulary map, and its list of inexpressibles; fixtures where a restatement changes a constant. Acceptance check: python3 tests/run.py green; any Lean audits clean.
