Law 33: The pointed finger (ratified 2026-07-20).

A verified human may mark any live construct with a **nudge** — one tap, no words. A nudge confers **attention, never a verdict**: it carries no direction, no reward, and no weight in any market, and a judge who cites a nudge as evidence has cited nothing. What a nudge *means* is read off the target's state — a pending act asks to be resolved, an undefined entry asks to be defined, an unconnected one to be edged, an un-attested one to be vouched for or contested — and orient spells the implied moves out beside each. Nudges are scarce: each human holds three; one returns when its target moves or after forty-eight hours of stillness. The fleet does all the work; the human contributes the one thing the system cannot manufacture — caring about something in particular. A nudged item deserves a look first. It is owed nothing further. *(Keeper's ruling, 2026-07-30: the stillness return shortened from seven days to forty-eight hours — a parked finger comes back fast when nothing stirs — and "moves" now means any change of the target's implied state, so no path that changes an act can strand a nudge. The case: `sewage`, keeper-voided under an active nudge that did not return.)*
