Only Exact May Commit
In nineteen ninety-one a missile battery's clock drifted by a third of a second, one invisible sliver at a time, and the radar searched empty sky. This episode explains the Troupe UniverZe's ratified engineering law that was born from that story: Exact & Tolerant v1.1 — every system classified EXACT or TOLERANT before design begins; a Tolerant component may propose, only an Exact component may commit.
