I think that's a nonessential difference. We call them variables because
most of them are, but no mathematician would take MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL PI
or MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL E to be anything but constants.
Likewise your Fraktur apparatus letters are constants, though bound not
to mathematical objects but to manuscript objects.

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
