Yield

Weighted negotiation concession with deferred debt ledger

Definition

Mechanism

Negotiation concession. When `Overlap` fails: 1. Agents declare 'Flex' (concession) and 'Weight' (importance). 2. System computes Yield-Ratio. 3. Lower-weighted preference cedes to higher. 4. Debt recorded in the Ledger. Utilizes Defer.

Preconditions

A durable Ledger is available to record the debt

Invariants

Both sides declare Flex and Weight before the Yield-Ratio is computed.
The lower-weighted preference cedes to the higher.
Every concession is recorded as debt in the Ledger.
The concession is final for this negotiation; reciprocity runs through the Ledger, not retraction.

Risks

Failure modes

Weight inflation
a party overstates importance to win the ratio.
Gaming ledger with trivial yields.
Hard constraints genuinely indistinguishable from strategic intransigence.
