What does 'settle' mean?

A question settles when the real world hands over its answer — Yes or No, on the day the question named in advance.

That’s the whole mechanic, and it’s written down before you ever make a call. Every question on majjha states its terms up front: what counts as Yes, the source that decides it, and the day the answer is due. When that day arrives, the source the question names reports what actually happened, and the question closes on it.

Then everything on that question settles too. Your ticket settles the moment its question does — Dots move, your record updates — you either saw it coming, or you’ve got a tough read to sit with. Either way, the answer came from the world, not from anyone here.

And settling is the point of the whole thing. Anyone can argue a take forever — the internet practically runs on it. A call is different because there’s a day when the arguing stops and the world says who was right. That deadline is what turns an opinion into a read.

That difference — a question that answers, instead of pure chance — is the heart of it’s a call, not a casino.
