Residual-Risk Register

PATH 2 CHARTER — RESIDUAL-RISK REGISTER

Disposition of the 50 standing adversarial findings against v2 Adopted alongside the Charter; part of the adoption record. 2291 amendment note: LP-075 changed future commencement duty only. 2293 amendment note: a §13.1-reviewed coupled-reversion rule made Schedule B dependent on an operative Schedule A and created a direct Lower-specific revocation route. The adoption findings below remain historical dispositions; the first 2279–2288 no-run was lawful under the then-operative §12.3. Status codes: CURED (v3 text removes the exploit) · MITIGATED (v3 reduces it; named residue stands) · ACCEPTED (residue engraved)

Re-filed first-review findings (regression pass, 28 standing)

Fresh v2 findings (22)

The engraved residues

RR-1 — Judgment in identification. The space of admissible causal assumptions cannot be enumerated by text. The structural answer is both-sides construction (§4.4), a mechanical survival floor (§4.3), and conservatism pricing ambiguity against activation (§4.5). What remains is that experts choose what to add. Accepted, priced, engraved.

RR-2 — Mapping judgment. Where no canonical series exists for an enumerated obligation, a mapping must be chosen. The choice is narrowed by §10.3 and fenced by §2.4. Accepted.

RR-3 — Memory. No charter erases prior exposure to public history. Exposure is declared (§6.6), and formulas fix what it could otherwise influence (Art. VI). It is not eliminable. Accepted.

RR-4 — Residual trust in offices. Registrar appointment, court capacity, and alignment-without-interest are answered by the civilization's standing institutions (Meritboard ranking, Supreme Court appeal, Presidential veto) and not by this Charter, because an auditor-of-auditors regress terminates only in institutions and accountability. The Charter relies on that design of VMSS without restating it. Accepted.

RR-5 — Adoption sovereignty. The chambers may adopt over a standing objection, which is flagged to the veto. A civilization without that power would have transferred sovereignty to its reviewers. Accepted, by design.

RR-6 — The sabotage allocation. No consumption rule denies a benefit to both saboteurs. Consuming a deviation-void rewards the refuser, and releasing it gives the certifier a replacement run. v4 chooses release, because §9.5 recomputation already denies the certifier the exit that made a replacement run valuable and the §11.2 escrow denies suppression. It prices what remains at removal, sanction, exclusion and a one-replacement cap. One insider can still obtain one replacement run per window at the cost of a career. Priced, capped, engraved.

RR-7 — Manufactured motive. §4.4's mandates and Meritboard scoring substitute merit stakes for the partisan motive that drives a true adversarial process. A scored duty is better than an unrewarded permission but is not guaranteed to equal a motivated antagonist. Accepted, because the alternative, seating genuinely interested parties, reopens every capture finding both reviewers filed.

RR-8 — The first window. The historical quarantine and the competence pool conflicted most in 2279–2288. Under the original §12.3, if the civilization could not field a Commission it trusted in the first decade after Charter adoption, the rates held. That was the then-operative promise and did not count as a failure. LP-075 later treated the resulting omission as a procedural defect for future windows and required a remedial run. It did not retroactively relabel the first window unlawful. Accepted as history and prospectively constrained.

RR-9 — Ledger coverage. The OM counts only what the SCM property-attribution ledger traces. Deployment outside the ledger's reach generates zero margin. That is conservative by construction, but a civilization whose ledger coverage decays measures less value than exists. The Registrar publishes ledger-coverage statistics with every run. Accepted.

RR-10 — Model-dependence of welfare measurement. Quality adjustment, variety valuation, and displacement's general-equilibrium closure remain model-dependent after every convention this Schedule can fix, as they are in every real methodology this Schedule's reviewers cited. The adversarial union and §4.5 conservatism price the dependence against activation without eliminating it. Accepted.

RR-11 — The estimand/estimator boundary. A.4's derivation test makes membership decidable in the cases that matter and leaves hard semantic edges to the appeal channel. A boundary policed by a court can still be argued. The alternative, a boundary policed by nobody, was v1, which did not survive review. Accepted.

RR-12 — The conventions themselves. Marshallian surplus at a positive social discount rate is a choice among defensible welfare conceptions, made once, in public, at adoption, with the rival conceptions published as diagnostics every run. The Preliminary ruling makes that choice deliberately. Accepted, and amendable only through §13.1, on the public record.

This Register is the Charter's own account of its limits. A methodology that claimed zero residual risk would be the most dangerous finding of all and would deserve the veto the Presidency holds for instruments of exactly that kind.
