R56 — the radif carried by inversion, with the order priced and the register crossed

v0.1, pilot. R55 established whether the shape can be hosted. R56 exists to establish what hosting it costs, which framework/v0.2 §7.41.3 asserts without measuring and RS-20260829-radif-hands §11.2 registers as the design the project does not have: "Register and capacity are not separated … §7.7's design would have to hold the register fixed, and no such design exists."

The rule

1. R51 §1 carries over unchanged and outranks everything below: render the sense, adding no fact, referent or evaluation and dropping none; enumerate the options before choosing and write the enumeration down; grade mechanically after the hand has written its own reading; never revise a rendering to move a grade; verse stays verse; freeze the log before any evaluation is designed and before any published hand's page is opened.
2. The rendering of record is IP below: the radif standing last at every rhyming position, in plain present-day English lexis.
3. The variant set is a 2 × 2 and is declared, not discovered. Every rhyming position is rendered in four arms:

4. The minimal-pair constraint, and it is checkable by machine. Within a lexis, D and I must be the same words in a different order — identical word multisets after case-folding and punctuation-stripping. Across a lexis, D→D and I→I differ only by the declared archaism map, which is written out in the log before it is applied. Any position where the constraint cannot be met is not rendered in that arm and is dropped from the item set with the reason recorded.
5. No chime is attempted, and this is a deliberate departure from R55 §2b. A monorhyme held over ten positions is bought, in this project's own record, with end-fillers (T-gulistan-R42-v1: six of eight refusals). A filler is a word the two arms would share but which changes what is being judged, and the point of this regime is that the only difference between D and I is order. What is therefore not tested here is whether the chime changes the price; that is named as a limit, not left implicit.
6. The archaism map is lexical and morphological, never syntactic. It may change inflection (has→hath), pronouns (your→thy), contraction (it is→'tis) and diction (perhaps→belike). It may not move a word. A map entry that would change constituent order is refused and recorded.
7. The hand does not judge any arm. R55 §1's clause is sharpened here because the hand is now writing the contrast as well as the rendering: the translator's log records what was hard and what was chosen, and every arm goes to the panel blind and unlabelled.
8. The fronted constituent is coded before any English is scored, per position, as OBJ (a direct object moves), ADV (an adverbial or PP moves, the object being elsewhere) or MIXED (both). The coding is frozen with the translation, not with the analysis.
