Design 151 · Wednesday 30 September 2026 · Day 22

Count the paper.
Do not invent it.

Version B opens after thirty honest paper days. Calendar days since the repo was born are not paper days. Stamps on /gate.html are paper days. If the number is short of thirty, type KEEP VERSION A and walk away from the key ceremony.

How to count

A paper day is a sealed book.

Counts

What is a stamp

A day with either one paper ticket marked executed: false, or an explicit empty-book close. Saturday may hold one ticket. Sunday must hold zero. A dry-fire with no pair still counts if you seal the close.

Does not count

What is vanity

A hallway page. A new repo. A SuperClaude plan. A promised 10x. A Coinbase balance you do not have. An invented pair so the book looks busy.

This counter lives in your browser. It is not the house ledger. Type a number you can defend, then seal it.
