authority.flood-caused-shortfall
and · drafted
Statement
P2: the surfaces are monotone in the cost table (`cs_mono`, `short_mono`), so a shortfall at the agent's pending count and not at idling's needs the agent to have raised the count; `innocent_backlog_not_caused` is the converse case. Inhabited by the fixture `test_effective_authority.py` (pending 2 to 6 at λ = 1/4, bound 1) read through `attnCost`.

Notes
Filed by the map-as-canonical round (prompts/2026-10-22-map-as-canonical) from the registry entry and the declaration's signature. The site-vertical-slice round (projects/enabling/rounds/2026-10-24-site-vertical-slice) connected it by reading: its hypotheses are filed as leaves, its bridge names the gap between the claim and the declaration, and it is one of the twelve conjuncts of the informal claim effective-authority-layer (the effective-authority layer), a shared-claim root of authorship-and-transparency and public-corrigibility-line, rather than a node a frame holds. The registry's answers_item is the priorities pointer to item 107 (ruling F2).
Bridge card
A conjunct of the informal claim effective-authority-layer: Effective authority is modelled with a queue that cannot be bypassed, caused and flood-caused shortfalls, a comprehension shortfall, approval discounts and a revocation default, with sincerity conditions on which verdicts count.
Declaration Workspace.Deference.Contrib.EffectiveAuthority.flood_raises_pending in lean/Workspace/Deference/Contrib/EffectiveAuthority.lean (record authority.flood-caused-shortfall.record)
Registry authority.flood-caused-shortfall: class lean-proved, status active, review ci-only, origin round 2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority; bears on item 107
The claim asserts that a flood shortfall is agent-caused only through the pending count it raises. The declaration certifies that a flood shortfall implies the agent's option left more pending than idling did, by monotonicity of the surfaces in the cost table. The gap: the contrapositive of monotonicity, on the cost table as data; the attention budget's realization in any physics is not modelled, as the file says.
Hypotheses, read:
- authority.flood-caused-shortfall.h-flood-shortfall definitional: The matter is short at the pending count the agent's option leaves and not at the count idling leaves, under the attention cost table with nonnegative attention weight.
The binders `hlam` and `h : FloodShortfall …`, with the setting. Definitional: the case examined, a flood shortfall as defined.
Completeness (authority.flood-caused-shortfall.complete): No premise beyond the signature's binders enters the declaration; the kernel checks it as stated. The result is the record, the hypothesis leaf filed by reading, the bridge and this leaf.
What remains (effective-authority-layer.improvable)
The effective-authority layer, in which authority is exercised through a protocol that cannot be bypassed, with caused and flood-caused shortfalls, a comprehension shortfall, approval discounts and a revocation default, and sincerity conditions on which verdicts count, can be improved until it reflects a principal whose later judgment counts as her own because the agent asks through her protocol, keeps her attention budget and takes no authority back from her well.
- item-131: The ask-list deviation is a dimension of the counted trace, so that asking off the declared protocol is tainted by the record's own counting rather than by a self-checkable clause beside it. — this is item 131
- route-authority-blackwell-converse: What item 107 leaves open behind the post is closed: Blackwell's converse for the thin specification's value clause, the loss of correctness, and the remaining items of the post's backing. — item 107
- route-authority-attention-physics: The attention budget is realized in a physics rather than given as a cost table, so that a flood shortfall and a comprehension shortfall are events the market prices, as the shortfall security prices them. — item 101
- effective-authority-layer.residual (residual): A refinement of the effective-authority layer that none of the other routes describes reflects a principal whose later judgment counts as her own because the agent asks through her protocol, keeps her attention budget and takes no authority back from her.
