Well, that was interesting. I've thought for some time that this coming Jan 20 (one year after the "transfer of power") would be an important date, based on that section (11.1.3.4 Occupation and Post-War Situations) of LoW.

But you've put together an entire head-spinning theory that for the first time (that I've seen) makes sense of the bizarre insistence by the Deep State that Jan 6 was an "insurrection" AND might also be the reason Trump has seemed almost indifferent to the plight of the Jan 6 prisoners (POWs); gotta keep the fiction going until the end of the one-year rule. Getting them released would put a kink in that. -- if I'm even understanding your definitions correctly (uh, who is the Occupying Power again?).

I've no idea if your theory is correct, but it's a worthy effort and provides an intriguing framework for a strange and unprecedented situation.

I've no idea if your detailed theory is correct, but it's a worthy effort and does provide an intriguing framework for an strange and unprecedented situation.
