Economic bound

Capacity

Capability says what a rail can do. Capacity says how much, how fast, at what cost, under which license. Narrowest bound wins. A reservoir with four theoretical slots and zero authorized slots is not idle — it is correctly bound. Global motion slots stay 0. A lease is the job.
