Why this is here

A9 introduced it as “a genuinely new normative dimension”, and separated formal contestability, practical contestability and effective answerability, which TERM-085 keeps apart. The record holds Pettit’s group-agency work with List (LIT-391) and names this book only in the curation entry of 2026-10-18; it was not registered there.
