The seven-element intersection is the ordinary split of a state (budget in finance, metric in the agency, trigger on the parliamentary calendar). If the intersection must sit in one legal person, "telos gap" names division of labor, not a special class of ownerless harm.

The missing cut is between pieces sitting in different offices and no office that can be forced to treat the joint result as its job. A forceable lead minister would mean the seven pieces need not live in one body.

The Finnish backlog already has a publisher and a purse. Binding the curve, protecting the line across elections, and adding a threshold trigger are legislative acts. Recoding "we will not bind next year's budget" as a telos gap treats an owned refusal as missing ownership.

The structural claim is that even a government that wants the curve cannot make it an ordinary duty, because the seven pieces do not sit in one body. The specimen shows a published number, occasional money, and no statute — under-binding, not a willing majority blocked by topology.

Versioned publication, a reply deadline, and an audit trail force a response, including "we will not act." That produces a record of landing. The thesis says procedure can move the harm. A signed no leaves the harm in place with a filing date.

A visible refusal is a real change (the question cannot be treated as never having landed) and still not movement. The unspecified step is whether a published no later creates a constituency or a trigger — two of the seven pieces repair supposedly needs — or sits as a recorded shrug.

Specimen 2's repair is a new owner whose KPI is the joint vector. Section VII's repair is a publisher that forces a reply. Those are different machines written as one answer.

Installing the joint-vector owner builds a ministry of what currently falls between the national assessor, the counties, the supervisors, and the budget office. That is a leftover ministry. "Procedural, not a transfer of values" does not describe an owner that decides what the equilibrium may be.

A KPI on the whole joint vector will be gamed on the displayable slice (wait times, deficit, or staffing). The unmeasured pieces will absorb the failure — the hidden-adjustment pattern the specimen was supposed to close. The proposed owner reinstalls the failure mode.

Queues, staff, deferred care, quality, regional access, and money are a trade-off surface, not one failure. An owner of "the vector" either ranks those (a value choice section VII forbids the procedure to make) or does not rank them (the equilibrium stays unowned). There is no third option in which the vector is one technical object.
