The sort of thing a [[co-calculation agent]] is expected to do — one that law students learn in lesson one of ''The Law of {{tag|Contract}}'' one logically cannot be obliged to do, is agree that you will, later, agree on something you cannot be bothered to agree upon just yet. But oh, perfidious syntax of our earthly legal frames! Those who foresee arguments about valuation know there are jagged corals of metaphysical rock not deep beneath our footsteps.
