+- **Asked:** 2026-09-22, from PA.f7: the play authority could state no fact
+  of its own (a fact is `Canonical` with an evidence receipt, or `Claimed`
+  by a subject) and could mint no quantity (`Admit` requires evidence), so
+  the residue rule (anything untyped becomes a fact) had no standing for the
+  agent's rulings.
+- **Ruling:** the play authority's facts stand as `Ruled` by it, and the
+  play authority mints quantity. The operator: "shackling the Ghostlight
+  Dungeon agent to Njordr's invariants is crazy, if the agent can invent
+  people, it can invent loot." Only `Play` gains either. Elaborators,
