Statement

On never-settled questions a standard of correctness exists beyond the limit of the market's deliberation, and it comes from the trust principles of logical induction rather than from the limit.

Notes

The tension, stated as the proposition the never-settled-standard crux's third picture names; it is the same question as the falsifier of the acceleration-only thesis (the filing session's reading).
