# IT — this proposal, then it burns

https://extropyengine.com/key#it

IT is not a pile. It is this-proposal standing. Same shape as L. Born when a case is open. Burned in the tally. The receipt is the vertex.

```
IT = clip(H_gov · S_gov · κ · CT_W · β_gov, 0, 1)
```

Not `XP · G`. That is an XP oligarchy. World standing does not buy extra gavels.

## Why no pile

A 5% leak on a balance still leaves a year-one holder at half voice after twelve quiet months. That is a gavel you sit on.

Clip to 1 means two years here and twenty years here can both sit at full voice. Extra years do not mint extra votes. New people climb by coupling (CT), not by buying IT.

Governance work still mints XP and can move CT, like any other closed loop. It does not mint a second meter.

## Letters this ticket

| Letter | Job |
|---|---|
| H_gov | How hard standing counts this vote. Default 1. 0 = one DID, one nullifier. |
| S_gov | You in this room. 0 if you are not in it. Party to the dispute: 0. |
| κ | 1 on the language. |
| CT_W | Town coupling. Already idle-leaks at 1%. |
| β_gov | Lane / CAT this case asked for. 1 if the room asked for nothing. |

## Fractal

- MICRO (this shop): S_gov is membership here. H_gov is the house.
- MESO / city: CT_W is the web. Tourists have S_gov = 0 unless a signed case says otherwise.
- PLANETARY grammar and cash-out are not IT votes.

Named cases still run without a meeting. Smart contracts. IT is only the unnamed case.

Code: `computeIT`, `sparkVote` in `packages/xp-formula`.
