What this is

The structure constrains distribution space. It identifies the region where allocation runs cooperatively, and the sites where the present pattern does not. The region can be measured — imperfectly now, better later. The correction is the smallest intervention that restabilises the geometry. No authority sets the region. No market alone discovers it. The Ledger reads it.

The reading rules out specific patterns. It rules in no specific institution. Many can run it honestly.

And it is not neutral. It produces verdicts on the present pattern’s departures, and the register at which any proposal can be tested.
