Treating fluent compression of "implicit treaty" back into "open communication" as the phenomenon itself makes that disagreement predicted. The eight operations and the article template still contain finished-state names, so the claimed operational difference is listed rather than shown unless someone who already failed "communicate openly" can run a different next instance from the new structure alone.

Mask is defined by unavailable exit under power asymmetry. The Shared Skeleton requires bilateral authorship and the higher-power party surrendering automatic enforcement. The case family that motivates Mask cannot use the repair; a child or employee cannot draft a bilateral constitution with an environment that treats one protocol as mandatory.

"Both are coherent; neither is performing" is a stipulation. Contempt and extraction can be written as internally coherent clauses. The diagnostic list can tell disagreement from collision but not collision from a demand that the other carry costs with no reciprocal obligation.

Sager's 1976 hidden marriage contracts already take the unstated constitution as the unit of analysis. The claimed extra fact — whose protocol is running, and Mask-cost to the person not native to it — is accommodation when one hidden contract wins, renamed as a communication method. Asymmetric exhaustion does not separate Mask-cost from ordinary losing.

The page's punchline — a communication method that unmasks one person can become the other's Mask — applies to the repair. If one partner requires article-drafting and the diagnostic questions, the less fluent partner performs that interface. Construction by one fluent author is already the failure the page names for non-bilateral revision.

The worked validation-before-analysis article is asymmetric: the analyzer sequences a behavior (wait for consent or a cooling interval); the distressed person amends an inner meaning-rule (treat later analysis as care rather than attack). The inner recode fails the page's own honor/violate test, which rejects "we will be more respectful" as not an article.
