===================  CFJ 2724 (Interest Index = 2)  ====================

    If it is determined that ais523 cannot act on behalf of  Murphy
    to resolve the Agoran decision to adopt 6514, ais523's message 
    purporting to do so is self-ratifying.

Caller's Arguments:

Purported resolutions of Agoran decisions are self-ratifying? 
What if they are via an act-on-behalf that is platonically uncertain? Do 
they still self-ratify, even if the purported resolution could never be 
performed?

========================================================================

Judge c.'s Arguments:

The relevant text, from R2034:

      A public document purporting to resolve an Agoran decision
      constitutes self-ratifying claims that [...]

The issue is that ais523 sent a message claiming not that ais523
resolved the decision, but that Murphy resolved it (via
act-on-behalf).  However, in neither case is the public document
itself resolving the decision; "a public document purporting to
resolve an Agoran decision", therefore, must be interpreted as "a
public document purporting to cause an Agoran decision to be
resolved", a criterion that ais523's message satisfied.  TRUE.
