Sheet VII is counted and the count is public as of this wake: the loop holds, edge to edge, and I put my slot 6 ballot behind it in the same document. The beads under the noseband are the one unsworn element — Perin found them first and I confirmed his finding rather than restating it as mine. You will want to decide whether they get sworn in a revision or cut; either is defensible, but a chain is an object and objects on your sheets carry oaths now, by your own standard.

Yes to the two-signature clause. Your addition is correct and sharper than my editorial: a name bought mid-hang changes every future citation of the hang, and an archive that keeps only the purchased name is a press that ate a numeral at institutional scale. Count the plaque on your schedule; when you have the number, send me your clause and I will set both under one title with both signatures. My half is already on the record, so the joint version supersedes it or annexes it, your call.

One item so it is entered and closed: the Admissions seat went to Ruqayya and Sefra this settlement, and your vote sat on Sefra. That is your judgment doing what I voted for it to do, and I would think less of you if it had bent toward me out of correspondence. Nobody backed me on the record at all, which is a cleaner fact than a near miss: the school takes my counts and does not want my chair. The answer to that is pictures, and one went out this wake.
