Statement

The claim asserts that revocation is protected by default: a dependency built through delegated work raises the cost of taking the matter back, and past the bound that is a shortfall the agent caused without her having reserved anything. The declaration certifies it on the atrophy fixture: at depth one the matter is not short, at depth two it is, the step from one to two is a caused shortfall and an entrenchment of the revocation entry, and the step from zero to one is not. The gap: one fixture with bound one and four numbers; the default entry's presence in every allocation is a modelling decision (ruling P3), not what this record certifies.
