I know I'm probably supposed to hold my questions for now, but hopefully you
can briefly explain this one clause to me.

"7. No Freeman is Required to accept or Perform any Entitlement of any Valid
Contract, including The Contract."

[Did you read the definitions for the words that are highlighted and linked?
Also there are the annotations for the "Symmetrical Stipulations" (Heading for
Section A) that cover items numbered 1-7 (8 and 9 having their own annotation
file). Did you click on the colored background as explained in the Introduction?
"For each subsection of The Contract there is an annotation page, which is
linked from and to the subsection to which it relates. (All such annotation page
links are indicated herein by text with a colored background at the beginning of
every subsection of text.)"

While it is suggested to read the NSC through the first time skipping the
Definition Section and starting at the Whereas Section, it will generally be
necessary to use the links to the defined words and to the annotations for full
clarity.

BTW, this was a question I had for Paul when I read it while editing and so the
annotation for it was created. The key here is to make sure that you understand
the words "Required" and "Entitlement". **Kitty]
