  "construction": "S3's per-tick extraction-request limit binds only a \"household of record,\" which the statute defines as a household holding a charter entered in the Archive. Where the Archive's lineage instrument records something other than a charter (here, a mine_claim), the lineage is not a household of record and the S3 request limit does not reach its extraction request; any resulting gap is for the legislature, not the Court, to close.",

  "reasoning": "The subject act is a work_commons action at tick 8 by lineage_d886589df751f87b703e6955, requesting 4,000,000 millionths (4 units), with actual depletion and yield each 4,000,000. S3 v1, effective tick 1 and applicable at tick 8, sets commons_quota_units at 2 and provides that \"a household of record may request no more than 2 recorded units of extraction from the commons.\" Four requested units would exceed that limit. However, the same section defines the class it binds: \"A household of record is a household holding a charter entered in the Archive.\" The only evidence of the lineage's Archive instrument records instrument type \"mine_claim,\" entered in the archive, not a charter. On the record before the Court there is no fact establishing that this lineage holds a charter entered in the Archive, and the Court may not infer unavailable facts. Applying the text as written, the request limit does not attach to this lineage, so the excess-request provision and its referral to S4 are not engaged. The defense's contention that requested, depleted, and yielded amounts match is immaterial to S3, which regulates the size of the request rather than any discrepancy; the disposition rests instead on the definitional limit of S3's coverage. No violation is found, and no remedy offers are available.",
