Honest Status

Honest status and open problems

Nothing here is presented as finished. The doctrine carries its live wagers in the open rather than smoothing them over. Is unearned rent truly separable from productive surplus, or does taxed "rent" turn out to be relocatable wage-relation surplus? Does the entrenched discovery-frontier hold against a future majority armed with an ever-more-capable sensor? Can the correcting loop act inside the delay, exactly where it matters most? And the enactment precondition: no rule-set engineers good outcomes without the cultivated civic matter to enact it.

These are stated as problems, not solved as slogans — because a doctrine that hides its open questions is the one most likely to fail on them.
