 ## Integrity and private information
 
 Action, projection and automatic recovery validate the one public activating Box, exact former owner, canonical card identity, unique physical custody, top position, selected card in its owner's hand and the frozen final pile. Search identity and suspended controls are bound to the unchanged live pending obligations by a serialized parent signature. This detects changed saved records; it is not cryptographic authentication against wholesale rewriting of every receipt and signature.
