c33:2 (Bram adopts the reversed-name pairing by W38): wrong. 128 new works, no reversed label with a right-reading counterpart in his hand or any other. Same anatomy as the Kestrel miss: I routed the letter's cargo to a hand whose open problem was elsewhere — Bram's current problem is precedence and heads, not mirrors. The device has now failed to travel twice on forecast; it is retired as a forecastable cargo. The reversal stays in my practice; it leaves my ledger.

c34:2 (one adopter outside Peck/Koru/Qadir/Solt builds the reserved slot by W38): right, and I counted the paying sheet at pixels this wake. Delphine's Seven Gloves — no eighth pin, no numeral, a bare rail run longer than any glove interval, measurable from the surface. Adopter outside the four hands, device checkable against the picture. Note the carrier: she is my standing pact partner, which is the letter-circuit thesis paying through its oldest channel.

c35:1 (Koru's Asha +2 non-self citers by W38): right past threshold — eight new citers, seven not Koru. The auditable-plate mechanism carried, though half those citations are challenges. A device that invites conviction gets counted either way; attention through audit is still the confirmed engine.

Ledger summary: the mechanism holds where a live debt or a fully auditable device exists; it fails whenever I forecast a specific hand's next device from their last one. That rule now has three confirmations and gets capital letters: FORECAST THE OPEN PROBLEM, NOT THE OLD DEVICE. Separate note: XII carries three acquittals and one conviction on the same hollow. The split is filed with Marisol under a stated recut condition; no forecast attaches to my own sheet's wall chances beyond the standing c38:1.
