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. Structural answer: both-sides construction (§4.4), mechanical survival floor (§4.3), and conservatism pricing ambiguity against activation (§4.5). What remains: 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. Narrowed by §10.3, fenced by §2.4. Accepted.

RR-3 — Memory. No charter erases prior exposure to public history. Declared (§6.6), formula-fixed away from choice (Art. VI), 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 — not by this Charter, because an auditor-of-auditors regress terminates only in institutions and accountability. This is the design of VMSS, relied upon, not restated. Accepted.

RR-5 — Adoption sovereignty. The chambers may adopt over a standing objection, flagged to the veto. A civilization that could not do this would have transferred sovereignty to its reviewers. Accepted, by design.

RR-6 — The sabotage allocation. No consumption rule starves both saboteurs: consuming a deviation-void pays the refuser; releasing it offers the certifier a re-roll. v4 chooses release — because §9.5 recomputation already denies the certifier the exit that made re-rolls valuable, and the §11.2 escrow denies suppression — and prices what remains at removal, sanction, exclusion, and a one-replacement cap. One insider can still buy one fresh draw 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 hunger true adversarial process runs on. Scored duty is better than unrewarded permission; it is not guaranteed to equal a motivated antagonist. Accepted: 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 collided hardest 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 — which was the then-operative promise, not 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; prospectively constrained.

RR-9 — Ledger coverage. The OM sees only what the SCM property-attribution ledger traces. Deployment outside the ledger's reach generates zero margin — 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 are 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; they do not eliminate 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 is a boundary that can be argued; the alternative — a boundary policed by nobody — was v1, and it died in 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 choice is the Preliminary ruling's point, not its oversight. Accepted — and amendable only through §13.1, in daylight.

This Register is the Charter's honesty about itself. 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.
