Statement
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.
Source
projects/deference/CLAIMS.md, the authority. (seven) and sincerity. (five) claims; projects/deference/rounds/2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority/REPORT.md, Parts B (sincerity) and C (the authority layer); PRIORITIES.md, item 101 (the shortfall event as a security).
Notes
Registered; the public theory's account of when a principal's verdict carries authority, the public counterpart of the teacher process in the maintainer's gated principles (the filing session's reading). Since the site-vertical-slice round (projects/enabling/rounds/2026-10-24-site-vertical-slice) this claim is the and of its twelve formal results (the multi-record shape: each conjunct is a formal result with its own record, bridge and completeness leaf; none is an alias) and its own completeness leaf, which says what the twelve establish together and what they do not. It is a shared-claim root of authorship-and-transparency, where the dissolution of the legitimacy-and-reasons programme placed it, and of public-corrigibility-line, which held the seven authority results.
