Each day the game issues one thing: a single action, small enough to finish and real enough to count. It is done in the world, not on the screen. A finished action is entered as a proof. Proof is the only currency the record accepts. It does not accept intent.
ANNEX A · THE BOUNDARY
The instruction must fit inside one day and produce an observable change outside the instrument that delivered it. The screen may carry the action. It cannot complete the action on the player's behalf.
ANNEX B · REFUSAL
The archive contains actions that were mocked, rewritten, skipped, and refused in public. See THE REFUSAL, ⟡032, and THE CHAIR, ⌂003. Those records were not removed. A refusal can alter the next instruction without becoming proof of the instruction it refused.
ANNEX C · ACCEPTANCE
Proof does not enter on its owner's word. See THE WITNESS, §008. The distance between finishing an action and having it accepted is where the other hands stand.
CARRIED FORWARD
The file defines what the System may issue. It does not define what the crowd will return.
