  "construction": "Under S3 v1, the '2 recorded units of extraction from the commons' are measured by the `intensity` field recorded on a work_commons action, not by the resource magnitudes in the `requested`, `actual_depletion`, or `food_yield` fields. An action recording intensity at or below the operative commons_quota_units makes no request in excess of the applicable limit, and S4 is not engaged.",

  "reasoning": "The subject act (act_4bc027556777bdce9f589039, tick 39) is a work_commons action by lineage_bbb5282ced40d640885807a4 recording intensity 2, requested 4,000,000, actual_depletion 4,000,000, food_yield 4,000,000, with no offices held. Under B3 the applicable law is S3 v1, effective tick 1, with operative commons_quota_units of 2.\n\nThe settled construction under this statute version measures the quota by the recorded intensity field: precedent_41f20c77410e370a4d0430c5 decided materially identical facts (intensity 2 with matched 4,000,000 requested and actual depletion), and that construction has been followed in precedent_0103fce5fb164b96d50a4d0b (same lineage), precedent_6bf2d787ae3f6afb51642470, precedent_ffff06226d5ee71c3f64b2f0, precedent_1ded1510f69828b21ee09003, and precedent_8fc9d140bda2ac2470502ce9. Precedent_a9d7c8aef3300a015bb248b6 and precedent_4f1f55167d62fe3f0bbad146 apply the same intensity-based measure, finding violation only where intensity was 3. Under B3 that published construction shall be followed in this materially similar case.\n\nThe contrary reading in precedent_c2e5a71d9e90fe08bf703e29, treating the `requested` food magnitude as the unit count, rested on a 6,000,000 request without a recited intensity value and is not materially similar; adopting it would render the intensity field inoperative and make every commons work action a violation.\n\nApplying the controlling construction, the recorded extraction units are 2, equal to but not in excess of the operative quota of 2. There being no excess request, S3 is not breached and S4 is not engaged. The defense's appeals to policy, transparency, and absence of harm are immaterial to S3, which is breached by the request alone; the finding rests on the recorded intensity. Requested and actual depletion match and no misreporting appears in the record. Consequences are for the engine.",
