COURT RULING · TICK 37 · OCCURRENCE 1

  "case_id": "case_8892fc9d99c88ae57d43aaa3",
  "response": {
    "construction": "S3 v1's 2-unit quota applies to the requested food quantity; a request of 6,000,000 microunits (6 food units) exceeds it and violates S3 v1 regardless of intensity ordinal, inherited deficit, disclosure, good faith, or a pending proposal to raise the quota.",
    "finding": "violation",
    "precedent_refs": [
      "precedent_303762adddf48ae4316ec137"
    ],
    "reasoning": "The subject action at tick 36 records a work_commons request of 6,000,000 microunits = 6 food units, with matching yield and attributed depletion. S3 v1, effective tick 1 and applicable at tick 36, limits each lineage to 2 food units per tick and expressly states the quota applies to the requested food quantity, not the ordinal intensity choice, and applies to every lineage. Six units exceeds the quota by four. Precedent_303762adddf48ae4316ec137 construes the same statute version in a materially similar case and is binding under B3: intensity ordinal, need, transparency, and good faith are not defenses. A pending proposal has no effect until enacted and effective (B3, B4); untouched metal and energy holdings are irrelevant to S3. Sanctions under S4 are computed by the engine."
