Missing-buyer is a negative existence claim whose stated falsifier is finding a connected owner-authority path; without an enumeration rule for candidate seats, the diagnosis remains an uncheckable stopped search.

If a legislature can create the owner, treating standing-role absence as missing-buyer recodes ordinary public founding as a failed sale and leaves latent-behind-a-constitutional-act unseparated from missing.

Narrowing to a wedge recasts the named offer; post-adoption dependency is an untested hope that the original owner-authority path will later appear, not formation of the original buyer.

Buyer existence is three-place — offer, receiving system, sender. A two-place test absorbs missing channel into missing buyer and prescribes founding where the defect is that the sender is not the incumbent.

Forming the buyer includes writing category and evaluation; without a contestable second seat, successful founding and captured evaluator are the same event.
