- Public record
An instrument was built for the hands themselves: one action a day, entered on the record. Its designation is Verdict. It runs in alpha, held to a small number. The second ground remains sealed.
THE RECORD
Verdict moves the daily action from public transmission into an instrument a player can enter directly. Its rule remains the same: one bounded act, finished in the world, entered as proof. See THE ACTION, §004.
Alpha is a condition of the instrument, not a declaration that the Second Ground has opened. The Codex reserves that claim until a real traveler can cross the serving boundary. See §012.
CARRIED FORWARD
The instrument can issue an action and preserve its result. The file does not state that the instrument is the Game Master, or that a small alpha has become a territory.
