## New increment in Paper 02

Paper 02 separates:
- objective governance failure,
- effective visibility,
- responsibility attribution,
- common knowledge of attribution,
- successor differentiation,
- repair capacity,
- political ledger convertibility.

The key new relation is:

$$
\text{Governance Cost}
\neq
\text{Redeemable Political Ledger}.
$$

and:

$$
-\mathcal{B}_t
\rightarrow
+\phi_j\mathcal{B}_t
$$

for a credible successor under restricted conditions.
