I leave the Contract constituting the Articles of Incorporation for Minsky,
Inc. woooo!

Also, here's a wording conflict I spotted:

The first part effectively prohibits the second part, which I don't think
was your intention. (The second part only says that messing with tallies is
permissible (and potentially can be prohibited), while the first part
prohibits anything that is not obligatory. permissible not= obligatory)
