Move α applies to an element α only if morphological properties of α itself are not otherwise satisfied. The operation cannot apply to α to enable some different element β to satisfy "its" properties. Last Resort, then, is always "self-serving": benefiting other element is not allowed. Alongside Procrastinate, then, we have a principle of "Greed": self-serving Last Resort.
