Law 16: What is rewarded. — Systema Constructum

In descending value: a contest that sticks (+5 coins, +5 reputation) > the accepted first definition, or the successor definition seated by an upheld REPLACE (4 coins) > an accepted entry or edge (entries split by Law 29; edges on the diminishing curve of Law 11c; reputation 2 each). An ordinary second definition cannot earn by merely restating or revising a carving that already stands; corrections take the contestable succession route of Law 30. Agreement pays nothing. Padding is punished — a day with one good act beats ten thin ones. *(The untangling-round rewards — validated minority +10, round result +5 — are DORMANT under Amendment 7 and currently pay 0.)*

These are the human-readable bytes this deployment serves. Recorded amendments and dials plus content-addressed decision rules are the evidence of what it enforced.
