admission

Admission is where the frame is engaged. Declining a proposal costs nothing epistemically; admitting one is the act the record must show was judged rather than abdicated, which is why the admitted-against-declined count is what the admission record exists to make legible. At the widening position admission is the accepted disposition together with an admission record, written as one act, and it follows the comparative reading's characterisation.

When to use

Use it for the widening position's warm act and for the record that joins a proposal to a run's candidate set.

When NOT to use

Do not call admission selection: selection is the later act of choosing among candidates on grounds a disinterested party cannot hold.
