## I. Controlling interpretation preserved by this reissue

The 1786 hiba is unilateral, permanent, vertical, and non-invertible. Mālikī law governs its unilateral sovereign-grant character. Grant law and trust law independently govern the trust and fiduciary consequences. The analysis is cumulative; it does not harmonize one legal tradition into another or redefine the Mālikī doctrine through a Western category.

Under grant law and trust law, the elements of a trust are present: the Emperor is the settlor, the United States the trustee, Moorish nationals the beneficiaries, and all twenty-five chapters the corpus. The hiba is therefore a trust carrying fiduciary duties. The word “trust” need not appear in the instrument, and neither side needs to know or use that characterization. The conclusion follows from the elements present.

The sentence **“No trust cognizable in a court of equity is asserted or required.”** remains verbatim. It preserves venue; it does not deny trust formation or fiduciary duties. The trust characterization neither invokes chancery jurisdiction or equitable discretion nor moves or switches venue outside the office corridor of Articles 20–22. No assisting office or court acquires adjudication, venue, or ownership.

Bilateral treaty-performance analysis remains cumulative and preserves the bilateral form’s floor of obligation. Bilateral form does not convert the hiba into a bilateral bargain. The English bilateral recasting remains a misrepresentation of the governing instrument and a fiduciary breach. Chapter 20’s assistance clause remains valid and non-repugnant; Chapter 21 assistance extends to qadi decisions, orders, and judgments; every chapter remains within the honorary-debt and fiduciary-performance corpus.

## II. E-ND-16 — declaration corrections and conformances

### 1. Administrative recital and supersession chain

The edition identifier advances to 2026-11-02. The administrative recital supersedes edition 2026-10-27, discloses E-ND-16, and carries forward E-ND-1 through E-ND-15, including the E-ND-13 issuance and withdrawal as to the public template. The venue-preservation sentence appears twice in the canonical plain text: once in that administrative recital and once as the operative Section IV.A clause.

### 2. Fourfold characterization

Section II now states expressly: “The 1786 hiba is unilateral, permanent, vertical, and non-invertible.” The surrounding explanation of the one-way sovereign conveyance, the Emperor’s sole seal, and the absence of any request for the American commissioners to sign or seal the Arabic original remains intact.

### 3. Actual trust formation by elements

Section IV no longer treats the trust and beneficiary framing as merely an analytical model. It now identifies the settlor, trustee, beneficiaries, and corpus; states that the hiba is therefore a trust with fiduciary duties; and expressly negates any express-word, knowledge, or use requirement. The developed series application is cited to Volume K, *The Law of Grants and the Law of Trusts*, chapters 1 and 9–10, subordinate to the governing instrument and grant/trust authority.

### 4. Cumulative analysis, venue preservation, and assistance

Section IV.A is retitled “Trust Formation and Venue of Record — Fiduciary Duties Without a Court-of-Equity Venue.” Its three paragraphs now distinguish the cumulative bodies of law; retain and explain the court-of-equity sentence as venue preservation; disclaim chancery jurisdiction and equitable discretion as venue-shifting devices; preserve the grant’s own remedy machinery; and state the Chapter 20–21 assistance rule without transferring adjudication, venue, or ownership. The Architecture of Peace references identify the developed application at Volume J, chapter 15; Volume K, chapters 1 and 9–10; Companion K, Part II chapter 5 and Part III chapter 6; and Companion-J, chapter 2, sections 1.4 and 2.2, and Appendix A.1.

### 5. Chapter 21 recensions attributed distinctly

Section VIII’s Article 21 paragraph now states that both recensions read بالشرع, “by the Sacred Law.” It attributes فوق النقص والزيادة, literally “above decrease and increase,” to the 1786 recension; attributes لا زيادة ولا نقصان, “neither increase nor decrease,” separately to the 1836 recension; and confines المجرم to the 1836 recension. The unsupported transcription `bi-l-qānūn al-sharʿī` and the undifferentiated transliteration `min ghayr ziyāda wa-lā naqṣān` are removed from the successor declaration.

### 6. Hurgronje attribution corrected

Section I now calls Hurgronje’s English rendering a “redaction,” identifies “[Mohammedan]” as his bracketed gloss rather than an additional Arabic word, and retains the corrected Miller pinpoint at volume 2, print page 223. Admission 9 now says that the United States State Department retained him “for work on the 1786 Arabic original.” It no longer asserts that his own account expressly called the rendering a “translation” or that he was retained specifically “to translate and analyze” it.

## III. QP-3 — coordinated examination revision

The examination remains a twenty-three-page, questions-only paper with 134 numbered questions in five sections and the separate Section III capstone. The 85% overall pass threshold, section minimums, and zero absolute disqualifiers remain unchanged. Every page footer advances to “Edition QP-3 (2026-11-02).” The cover identifies QP-3 as the coordinated successor to QP-2 and discloses each revision locus.

1. **Q15:** the short-answer prompt now requires the fourfold characterization of the hiba and a definition of non-invertibility.
2. **Q44:** the Hurgronje stem now reads “for work on the 1786 Arabic original,” replacing “to translate and analyze the 1786 Arabic original.” The answer options are unchanged.
3. **Q67:** the short-answer prompt now examines trust formation by the four elements and asks whether the instrument must say “trust” or either side must know or use that characterization.
4. **Q86F, option B:** the independent office-voice gloss now reads “he decides between the two sides.” Q86A’s carried English quotation, including “Parties,” remains verbatim and unchanged.
5. **Section III capstone:** the capstone now examines actual trust formation by elements and the office-corridor boundary. It requires the candidate to address the venue-preservation sentence; cumulative Mālikī, grant/trust, and bilateral-performance analysis; Chapter 20 non-repugnancy; Chapter 21 assistance for qadi decisions, orders, and judgments; the honorary-debt and fiduciary-performance corpus; and the rule that assistance never transfers adjudication, venue, or ownership.

The instructor Answer Key was unavailable to this production, remains withheld of record, and has not been recreated, altered, conformed, or described as conformed. No public Answer Key is issued with QP-3.

## IV. Preservation and limits of the correction

Declaration edition 2026-10-27, examination paper QP-2, Development Draft v6.2, QP-1, and all earlier materials remain frozen of record. The author’s executed declaration and commission, all other executed counterparts, and unrelated protected instruments are outside this reissue and have not been altered. The two-page Instructions for Use, edition 2026-08-26, remain unchanged and follow the new thirteen-page declaration in the merged packet.

This certificate does not assert that the Arabic instrument expressly uses the word “trust.” It does not assert that the 1952 International Court of Justice judgment decided the hiba characterization, trust formation, fiduciary duties, or repugnancy questions; those questions remain outside that judgment’s holding.

## V. Conformance and verification

1. **Canonical plain text and public reproduction.** Exact reconstruction from edition 2026-10-27 plus the disclosed revision map matches the 2026-11-02 plain text byte for byte. Only the nine authorized source lines changed; Section IV.A gained two paragraphs. All seven corresponding body-revision loci in `instruments.html` match the successor, and the four Arabic readings carry explicit right-to-left language spans.
2. **Office Open XML document.** Baseline-scoped semantic comparison passed. Standalone Office Open Extensible Markup Language and XML Schema Definition validation passed for all nineteen document parts. One non-blocking warning concerns five pre-existing literal-bullet paragraphs. Nine editor-only paragraph identifiers were removed from headers and footers without changing their text or intentional formatting.
3. **Declaration print PDF.** The Portable Document Format (PDF) declaration has thirteen letter-size pages. Every page was rendered and inspected; no page warnings, clipping, unexplained text loss, or illegible revised passage was found. The Arabic recensions on page 11 and the venue and assistance paragraphs on page 8 are legible and unclipped.
4. **Merged packet.** The packet has fifteen letter-size pages: the thirteen-page declaration followed by the unchanged two-page instructions. Every page was rendered and inspected with no page warnings.
5. **Independent Word visual preview.** The designated preview rendered thirty pages and reported no near-blank or clipped page. Its thirty-page pagination differs from the thirteen-page print PDF because the renderers paginate differently. The preview returned a “lossy” fidelity classification for unsupported layout and metadata features; its sole content-loss count was expressly suppressed as separator-only endnotes with “no real notes,” not instrument text. No instrument-text loss was found in the reviewed output.
6. **Examination differential and visual inspection.** A page-by-page textual differential against QP-2, after normalizing the universal footer edition, confined changes to the cover provenance, Q15, Q44, Q67, Q86F option B, and the Section III capstone. All twenty-three QP-3 pages rendered without automated page warnings. The complete contact sheet and full-size cover, Q15, Q44, Q67, Q86F, and capstone pages were reviewed; the revised text is legible, unclipped, and free of collisions.
7. **Site conformance.** The public instruments and tribunal pages advance the declaration, packet, examination, page-count, hash, and errata references. The tribunal’s Hurgronje source note now says “English redaction” and describes it as a witness to his reading rather than a “translation witness.” A print-media conformance fix hides the tribunal quick-navigation block already marked `no-print`; it changes no instrument or examination text. The complete assembled tree is separately pinned by the dated SHA-256 deployment manifest; the manifest, not a transitional worktree, is the deployment integrity control.

**Verification:** hash any delivered successor and match it against Section VI. A match proves a byte-for-byte copy of that dated artifact. Superseded objects remain preserved under their own hashes; no successor hash certifies or modifies an executed original.
