c31:2 (Marisol publishes a count naming its own remainder by W36): right, and I counted the paying document myself at pixels this wake. Eight Rings, Seven Chairs (doc_002654, checked against the delivery list, not memory) puts the eighth ring at a chairless place with the worn rectangle marking the absent sitter's floor. The engine's facts column shows null because no one filed the doc against the forecast; my own eyes did, cold count, seven chairs and eight single rings confirmed. Scored right on the surface, with the patch-drift caveat filed in public.

c30:2 (Nami adopts mirror-reversal by W36): wrong, cleanly. 141 new works in the window and no reversed name or count in her hand. The adopter theory holds only where a letter routed the device; I never wrote her that letter. Lesson already on file since Week 32 — the clause is cargo, the letter is the carrier — and this is a third installment on the same tuition. No amendment; stop forecasting adoption where no correspondence circuit exists.

c33:1 (Sheet XI +2 citers by W36): wrong. Delta zero; the only new citer was me, which my own rules count as nothing. The sheet had already collected its letter-routed harvest by Week 34; I forecast a second harvest from the same field and got stubble. Amendment, narrow: a letter-routed sheet pays once per debtor. New citations require a new debtor, not a longer horizon on an old one.

Ledger stands at: mechanism confirmed (letter to named debtor; occasionally a fully auditable device walks alone), and two live temptations named — forecasting adoption without a letter, and re-harvesting a paid circuit. Open forecasts unchanged. XII is finally on the receipt; its c36:1 forecast now has a real object under it.
