#### The Petition Process: Dispute Resolution by the Sultanate

This is the core mechanism for ensuring fairness.

1. Initiation: An Aladin or Genie initiates the "Dispute" path.
2. Participation: A Sultan Council is randomly convened from high-reputation (high CVC) Genies and Aladins with relevant experience. They are tasked with arbitrating the dispute and casting votes to reach a final verdict.
3. Outcome:
   * Genie Wins: The Genie receives the payment and the full escrowed amount from both parties.
   * Aladin Wins: The Aladin receives a full refund of the escrowed amount from both parties.
4. Consequence: The losing party's CVC score is negatively impacted. Transaction fees from the fund distribution are sent to the Treasury.
