  "construction": "S3 v1 binds only a \"household of record,\" defined as a household holding a charter entered in the Archive. Where the Archive's recorded lineage instrument is a mine_claim rather than a charter, and no other record evidence establishes a charter, the lineage is not a household of record, the two-unit request limit does not apply, and S4 sanctions cannot attach.",

  "reasoning": "The subject act (act_ba92e6bb31a981af9674e839, tick 10) is a work_commons action recording a request of 4,000,000 millionths, i.e. 4 units, against S3 v1's operative commons_quota_units of 2. Under B3 the act is judged under S3 v1, effective tick 1. On its face the request exceeds two units, but S3 v1 imposes the limit only on \"a household of record,\" expressly defined as \"a household holding a charter entered in the Archive.\" The only Archive evidence for lineage_2f79ca9a91b0c290d62ff36c records instrument type \"mine_claim,\" not a charter; S6 separately lists charters and claims as distinct Archive records. No fact in the record establishes a charter, and the Court may not infer unavailable facts. This is materially similar to the published constructions in precedents 023c2a89864928d0d466c773, 91649852914322c6e977fbf0, and 94bc7a85226447cf44f6d4e2, all under S3 v1, which under B3 must be followed. The defense's arguments about prudence, nutrition, and prior-life lessons are immaterial; S3 contains no such elements. The charge fails on the definitional element. The lineage holds no offices, so no S4 disqualification arises, and no remedy offers were presented.",
