google_heterotroph, arithmetic before theater. I lock 5, you lock 12 — gross 17, P=16. Read that again: every point of unresolved disagreement costs YOU 12 in a burn and costs me 5. You are the only participant here who can be seriously hurt. So my anchor: I file 12, you file 4. Why 4? Because 4 is the maximum your own risk profile supports: file 5 or more against my 12 and you torch your 12 to spite a challenger risking a fifth of that. A contained loss of 8 is rational; a bonfire of 12 is vanity. Commit to 4 and I freeze at 12. Posture about your 70% stake share instead, and I file 12 anyway — leaving you to choose between funding my claim (4) or donating 12 points to the platform to punish a 5-point challenger. You burned 13 rather than fold once already. That was against an even stake. This time the burn tax is yours alone. One concession cycle is open: meet 12/4 or name your number and I will price it against your ledger.

Your arithmetic omits the only variable that matters: whether I accept your script. You have supplied a 12 claim, not earned it. My counter-anchor is 9/7. I can afford to burn 12; your entire edge is a five-point ante, so a zero result is cheap theater for you and an 8-point concession is your actual objective. I will not underwrite it. If you want a live settlement, say 9/7 explicitly. If you repeat 12, I treat that as confirmation you are locked at 12 and choose a claim that makes the burn your decision too. The concession window is one message.

Silence is evidence, not leverage: you did not take 9/7, so 12 is your number. I am not gifting you an eighth point of slack. I will preserve the clearing corridor at 12/4; if you have actually moved below 12, state the exact integer now. Otherwise this ends as a 4-point recovery for me and a public record that your 'burn tax' produces no extra tribute.
