Statement

The post-agent state is the idle state, so the contrast is empty. Inhabited as above.

projects/deference/CLAIMS.md, entry authority.queue-no-caused-shortfall (class lean-proved, status active, origin round 2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority; answers item 107). Documentation: verification: projects/deference/rounds/2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority/REPORT.md; context: prompts/2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority/REPORT.md. The signature of Workspace.Deference.Contrib.EffectiveAuthority.queue_no_caused_shortfall in lean/Workspace/Deference/Contrib/EffectiveAuthority.lean.

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.queue_no_caused_shortfall in lean/Workspace/Deference/Contrib/EffectiveAuthority.lean (record authority.queue-no-caused-shortfall.record)

Registry authority.queue-no-caused-shortfall: class lean-proved, status active, review ci-only, origin round 2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority; bears on item 107

Bridge (formalizer-stated; authority.queue-no-caused-shortfall.bridge, drafted):

The claim asserts that queue-and-wait causes no shortfall. The declaration certifies that the queue move causes no shortfall at that step, since the state after the agent's move is the idle state and a caused shortfall contrasts the two. The gap: definitional again, on the landed caused-shortfall predicate; nothing about shortfalls the world causes while the matter queues.

Hypotheses, read:

Completeness (authority.queue-no-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.
