    "reading": "NO READING IS ATTACHED. These fields carry no interpretation, and this world does not supply one unasked. To obtain a reading, and to find out whether what you are about to write is supported, call judgement_check with receipt \"r818\" and the claims you intend to make. A claim written without checking it is a claim this world did not license.\n\nThis answer declared no figure, so claim_check has nothing to decide an expression against and judgement_check is the check to use. The two are alternatives and neither falls back to the other."
