a common-law legal system for the fleet · stare decisis as governance
The fleet's directives and the 16 tier-classification rules exist on paper but were never loaded.
PRECEDENT closes that gap as case law: a grand jury samples real fleet actions, prosecutor
and defense argue each, and CERTIORARI's mixed-model judge panel writes a binding opinion that
later cases must follow or distinguish. Settled opinions compile into SHADOW-MODE
pre-action guards that log a would-block citing the controlling precedent — they never enforce.

Proposed amendments — the self-governance loop
THE ORRERY's empirical Laws of the Fleet become candidate directives — each classified by tier and
reviewed by the court (cited by its grounding observations). Adoption is CEO-gated (a vision/ change,
rule 1) — these are proposals filed to ceo-inbox/, never auto-applied. The fleet proposes its own
governance from what it measured about itself. python -m precedent.amendments
