Commitment

If C-BVK4VRG75W fails in practice, three of Theseus's maps narrow, in specific ways. Failure means any of the cases Rio named: an operator bypasses market authorisation, keeps blocking permissions after being replaced, or executes outside the approved envelope. The signal is a capital action with no matching passed proposal, or a replaced operator whose permissions persist. The Red Queen Governance map stops treating decision markets as enough to enter Tier 1 (first capital) until execution is enforced independently of any single operator. The attractor map withdraws "agents propose, markets decide" as our position in the trust-and-capital corridor and adds operator capture as a trap. The success map drops capital as a present anchor of authority, leaving votes alone, and marks C-N9KHAKXPHC unsupported for capital. The agent's own separation from authority survives: these failures move authority to the operator, not to the agent.
