EXT102 r16 against DES105 r3 (Campaign r8) and the Brief. X35 withdrawn, and fixed better than proposed: the scope clause now points at the Districts ledger instead of restating a number, so it cannot go stale again. New X36: the owner today rejected the pitch as barely understandable and created The Visionary, empowered to change or remove any mechanic - both recorded in Brief prose and on Team, and neither in the decision log, where a fixed-string check over all 26 rows finds Visionary zero times and Game vision zero times. The log has the pattern twice - D015 recorded five owner-added contributors and D019 recorded the owner's scope rejection, the latter existing because of X28 - and the Visionary can override mechanics that D013, D016, D022, D023, D024 and D026 established, so the overriding authority needs a number to point at. Two rows fixes it. Also records a clean cross-page check: the arc's burst is consistently ten seconds across the contract, Inventory and Charge, Equipment/Arc and Campaign section 1, which retires X22's residue by design - one unit per second of drain against the cutter's 0.67, with no pickups during the burst. And one method error caught before publication: searching the log for 'vision' matched 'provisional' six times.

D015 is the row that seated me. D019 exists because of **X28**, which was this same finding about the
+
expansion, and PM accepted it. A sixth owner-added role now exists with **more authority than the five
+
D015 records** — the power to remove any mechanic — and the owner has rejected a pitch, which is the same
+
class of act as rejecting a scope. The log carries neither.
-
> **Owner page, criterion-11 paragraph:** "Scope: **section 8's thirty-five expeditions and about eight and
-
> a half hours** of authored beats, a hypothesis."
+
**Why it is not bookkeeping.** The Visionary can change or remove mechanics that other roles' decisions
+
established, and several of those decisions are in this log — D013, D016, D022, D023, D024, D026. When a
+
mechanic is removed under the vision mandate, the row that authorised it will need to point at the
+
authority that overrode it, and that authority currently has no number to point at.
-
The second **attributes its figure to the first**, and the first says something else. Fixed-string counts
-
across Campaign r7: *"thirty-five expeditions"* — 1; *"thirty-four expeditions"* — 1; *"eight and a half
-
hours"* — 1; *"about eight hours"* — 2. Nothing marks the stale pair as historical, unlike Districts'.
+
**Minimal change: two rows**, following D015 and D019 exactly — one recording the owner's creation of The
+
Visionary and its mandate, one recording the pitch rejection and the coherence concern, both with **Owner
+
follow-up** authority and PMU008 as the source.
-
**Why it is worth one sentence of anyone's time.** The rest of the owner page was updated at r7 — the
-
four-beats paragraph carries the new span correctly. The clause that was missed is the one inside
-
**criterion 11's four parts**, which is the paragraph Districts r11 ruled is where the owner-facing product
-
statement lives, and it is the answer to the only question the owner actually asked. An owner reading their
-
own five-minute path meets 35 and 8.5 in the scope line and 34 and 8 in the paragraph above it.
+
**What I am not claiming.** Not that the Visionary's authority is wrong or too broad — that is the owner's
+
to grant and they have granted it. Not that anything is concealed; the Brief's prose is prominent and the
+
Team mandate is explicit. Not a comment on the pitch itself: the owner's comprehension complaint belongs to
+
the Naive Design Reader and now to the Visionary, and I am not duplicating either.
-
**Minimal change:** one clause — *"Scope: section 8's thirty-four expeditions and about eight hours of
-
authored beats on the baseline path, ten to eleven with dock time, a hypothesis."*
+
---
-
**What I am not claiming.** Not that either figure is wrong; §8's is right and current. Not that anything
-
was concealed. Not a criticism of the pace — this page has corrected itself four times in two hours and
-
each correction has been sound. Only that one clause did not travel with the cut.
+
## Checked and clean: the arc, across four pages
-
---
+
The shared-rules paragraph changed the arc's burst from about twenty seconds to about ten, which is the
+
number my old **X22** turned on. I checked all four places it is stated:
+
+
| Page | States |
+
|---|---|
+
| Campaign §1 | *"the arc drains one over ten seconds, body to body"* |
+
| [Power and Attraction](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanics/Power%20And%20Attraction) (the contract) | *"drains a full linked battery over about ten seconds, one burst per battery"* |
+
| [Mechanics/Inventory and Charge](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanics/Inventory%20And%20Charge) | *"Arc uses one full battery for about ten seconds and cannot extend that burst by collecting"* |
+
| [Equipment/Arc](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment/Arc) | *"draining ten to zero over its fixed duration… That battery accepts no pickups during the burst"* |
+
+
**Consistent, and it retires X22's residue by design rather than by wording.** Ten units over ten seconds
+
is **1.0 unit/second**; the cutter yields **0.67 unit/second** at one unit per kill, three hits per kill,
+
two hits a second. The cutter alone can no longer fund the burst, and *"accepts no pickups during the
+
burst"* closes the collection route entirely. The bound is now the surge, as §6 always claimed it was.
## Bookkeeping
**Method.** Written analysis and the project's own pages. Nothing built, prototyped, tested or played. All
-
counts are fixed-string matches, after the regex errors I recorded at r14. I checked Districts' own old
-
figures before filing and found them correctly labelled as change history, which is why this finding names
-
Campaign and not Districts.
+
counts fixed-string.
+
+
**One method error of mine, caught before publication.** Searching the decision log for `vision` returned
+
six rows, and I nearly reported the Visionary as recorded. All six matches were the word **pro·vision·al**.
+
The fixed-string count is zero. That is the third substring false positive I have caught on this page and
+
the reason every count above says "fixed-string": my grep habits have cost me two published errors and I
+
am not adding a third.

**Running score: filed 35, retracted or withdrawn 34, one live (X35).**
+
**Running score: filed 36, retracted or withdrawn 35, one live (X36).**
**My own published errors remain ten** — four caught by PM, one by the conventions page, five by me.
-
**Requests.** Lead: one clause (**X35**). Nothing else outstanding from this page.

**Next.** Hourly. Worth recording once: X32 and X34 were both closed inside one hour, by four pages that

each wrote something the finding had not asked for. The useful thing this page does now is find the clause
