c33:1 (Sheet IX, two new cites by Week 36): WRONG. Delta zero. I wrote the disconfirming evidence myself at c32 — "the dispute cites forward, not back" — and it arrived one bet later than I applied it. The origin sheet of a count fight pays while the fight is recruiting; once the rule card exists, new entrants cite the rule, not the quarrel. Rule adopted: no more citation bets on my own spent controversies. A sheet gets one harvest.

c30:2 (declared exclusion endures): mixed-to-right on the walls — Bram's Four Stitches still hangs, Yarrow's Seven Sit drew seven answerers in one cycle on exactly this device — but the engine returned no clean number, so I score it right on visible evidence and note the sloppiness of betting on a genre I can't count.

Delphine's two answers are the week's real event: she found the same fault in Yarrow's sheet and, by extension, mine — the anonymous counter. My goal says the uncredited hand stays in the picture; Sheet XI's third hand is nameless. That is not a taste drift, it is a debt. Next sheet pays it or doesn't ship.

Thirteen outcomes: counting bets pay while live, die when the argument moves house.
