Chapter 71: The Honest Claim

The Bridge Ledger (the relevant theorem, Ch. 68) tabulated each bridge’s status. This chapter performs the final accounting: the Honest Claim Theorem (III.T47) separating unconditional from conditional (Section 1), the complete τ-effective inventory (Section 2), the six conjectural bridge identifications with Bridge Settlement Criteria (III.R34, Section 3), the one established bridge (Section 4), the argument for the honest position (Section 5), and the close of the Orthodox Bridge arc (Section 6).
