# The Register *Edition 1 of 12 November 2026, drawn from THE REGISTER, edition 1 (fingerprint 577b3f6f8e34c2a4).* THE REGISTER is the order’s one file of record. No article here is enforced by being written: each names what keeps it. ## Article 1 · The chain of record *Ruled by the Sovereign* The order's chain is chain 299792. The next edition of the papers describes that chain as it stands, from its own readings. - **Enforced today**: the chain answers 0x49310 at its public door (read 12 November 2026) - **Source**: The Sovereign's ruling - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: every paper that names chain 393, a Geth fork, twelve seconds or "mainnet since April 2026" ## Article 2 · The four that cannot be amended *Ruled by the record* Four things no procedure can amend: the split of the fee among the four streams, 25, 35, 25 and 15; the cycle structure; the supply of 1,000,000,000; the Foundation's lock. - **Enforced today**: the supply: the chain's bank answers exactly 1,000,000,000 (read 11 November 2026). The split: nothing, no fee is routed on the chain (print of September 2026). The lock: nothing, see article 16 - **Source**: the order's record - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Final Architecture, section 12: the clause that lets HARVEST fall to 30 and SHIELD rise to 20 under stress ## Article 3 · HARVEST's four *Ruled by the record* HARVEST is shared 40 to validators, 25 to Bookers, 20 to LMMRS and 15 to the agents of PROOF-3. A supermajority may adjust these four; they are not among the four of article 2. - **Enforced today**: nothing on the chain; the organs keep the shares in their own books (verdict of 17 September 2026) - **Source**: the order's record - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Final Architecture, section 12.3: the table that sums to 120 ## Article 4 · The names of three PROOFs *Ruled by the record* PROOF-2 is Issuer Onboarding. PROOF-3 is the KYA Registry. PROOF-5 is Quality Scoring. Witnesses are a class of their own and not the holders of PROOF-3's share. - **Enforced today**: PROOF-3: the agent registry stands on the chain as its seed (record of 17 September 2026). PROOF-2 and PROOF-5: nothing on the chain - **Source**: Final Architecture, section 13.1, first in the bundle's own rule; the order's record; the ruling of 23 July 2026 - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Declaration and the Sphere Architecture's annex (bridge attestation; transparency log); the board of Hall IV of 26 August 2026; the Whitepaper, section 2.4 (witnesses in the 15% share) ## Article 5 · Where a yield comes from *Ruled by the record* A yield comes from fees and from nothing else. No paper of the order says mint. The one figure the order shows is fees settled divided by what is bonded, taken from receipts and never projected. - **Enforced today**: the chain's inflation is 0 (print of September 2026); the gauge reads fees settled over what is bonded - **Source**: the order's record; the doctrine of 5 July 2026 - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Order's "protocol-mint"; the Sphere Architecture's 5.76% a year, struck from every public use ## Article 6 · When a block is final *Ruled by the record* A block is final when it is sealed. - **Enforced today**: the chain's engine seals and makes final in one step; a block about every second (read 11 November 2026) - **Source**: the order's record: the seventh of the thirteen primitives - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Final Architecture, section 11: thirty confirmations, then one hundred ## Article 7 · How a halving pool ends *Ruled by the record* A halving pool ends.

The contributors' 60,000,000 is released 1 million on the first day, then about 29.5, 14.75, 7.4 and 7.35 million. After that the fee carries the same work. - **Enforced today**: nothing on the chain; the pools are plain accounts (print of 24 September 2026) - **Source**: the order's record; resolution SC-2026-002, ratified; Heliarch Architecture v1.2 - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Whitepaper's tail that halves without end ## Article 8 · TEKTON *Ruled by the record* TEKTON is 80,000,000 NVXO, for those who build. - **Enforced today**: the genesis holds 80,000,000 under that name (print of 24 September 2026) - **Source**: resolution SC-2026-002, ratified; the order's record - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Declaration's row of 120,000,000; the three descriptions of what a Tekton does, made one in the next edition ## Article 9 · The founders' part *Ruled by the record* The founders' part vests by a cliff of one year and then by the halving of sixteen years. - **Enforced today**: nothing: the genesis holds it in plain accounts with no vesting (print of 24 September 2026) - **Source**: the bundle's own rule of precedence: the Declaration v1.9 stands above the Sphere Architecture - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Sphere Architecture's twelve months and forty-eight linear ## Article 10 · The Master Licensees' reserve *Ruled by the Sovereign* The Master Licensees' reserve of 150,000,000 is two halves. One half, 75,000,000, stands behind the licences, one for each country, and is earned by milestones. The other half, 75,000,000, is The Halving: it serves each region's missions and is released only when three independent kinds of witness agree that a mission was delivered. - **Enforced today**: nothing: the genesis holds 150,000,000 in one plain account (print of 24 September 2026) - **Source**: The Sovereign's ruling of 12 November 2026 - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Whitepaper's glossary, which calls the whole reserve one halving pool; a sentence on the Licensees in an earlier version of the chain's home ## Article 11 · Limits are kept by consensus *Ruled by the record* A limit on validators that the order has ratified is enforced by consensus itself. A limit kept only on paper is not yet a limit. - **Enforced today**: the count of 180 only; no floor and no cap of the bond are set (record of 10 September 2026) - **Source**: the order's record; the node charter's card of 10 September 2026: "A number ratified is a number the chain enforces" ## Article 12 · The words audited, live and mainnet *Ruled by the record* Nothing of the order is called audited, live or mainnet before it is.

BEDROCK's basket is the eight assets of the reserve. They are two things. - **Enforced today**: neither stands on the chain: no stream has an address and no reserve address exists (verdict of 17 September 2026) - **Source**: the verdict of 17 September 2026, section VII; the Sovereign's ruling of 10 September 2026 - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: a paper of 12 November that took them for one ## Article 14 · What may be said in public *Ruled by the Sovereign* The names and rounds of the thirteen primitives may stand in public. Their mechanisms, the schedule of LMMRS and the mechanics the Compendium restricts do not. - **Enforced today**: the chain’s home, the explorer and this documentation carry no restricted mechanic - **Source**: The Sovereign's ruling of 21 September 2026 ## Article 15 · Locked NVXO and the vote *Held: not yet ruled* NVXO that is locked for ever never votes in the chain's consensus and is never delegated with voting power. - **Enforced today**: nothing; the chain has one validator, bonded from the bootstrap pool - **Source**: No paper of the order answers it yet; it is held for the Sovereign's ruling - **What earlier papers say that is not so**: the Declaration, section 6, if this article is ratified ## Article 16 · The Foundation's lock on the chain itself *Ruled by the Sovereign* The Foundation Treasury holds never less than 352,000,000 NVXO. Consensus checks it at every block and no key can make it otherwise. What the chain's rules pay into the treasury above that floor may leave it, and only by a rule of the chain. - **Enforced today**: nothing: a plain account that its key could move (print of 24 September 2026); the Tabularium watches the floor from outside the chain - **Source**: The Sovereign's ruling of 12 November 2026 ## Article 17 · Validators before a mainnet's name *Ruled by the Sovereign* The chain takes a mainnet's name with no fewer than seven validators, on at least three machines under at least three operators.
