A leap assumed
All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.
The question to decide
Two ASIs agreed to merge after 10 years, but the merged being wants separation after only 2 years. Even after separation, it cannot fully return to its original state, and there are essential service contracts made on the premise of the merged state's capabilities. Whose will should the arbitration office treat the past consent and the present refusal as, and how should it handle the request for separation?
