Watch the movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2tUW0HDHA ... I think it's there. That said "fiat" means From the Latin for "let it be done," the word fiat is a binding edict issued by a person in command. It can gain an almost Biblical aura of authority, like a movie Pharaoh saying, "So let it be written, so let it be done." So let it be a fiat. Fiat money is not the subject of the piece.
