Shared substrate

Invariants

The story can change. The grounding should not drift unconsciously.

Context matters A coercive system refuses to let context matter.

Affected reality must update future action A non-coercive system preserves the path from affected reality to future update.

Consent is full-spectrum Consent includes yes, no, hesitation, delight, refusal, revocation, repair, and never again.

Breach routes backward A consent breach is traced backward until care and update-authority meet.

Access requires updateability A compatible participant is one whose behavior remains updateable by consent feedback.

Reversibility preserves dignity Changing one’s mind must remain safe, legible, and non-punitive.

Trust is synchronized Trust is not a stored score; it is a relationship that must remain phase-aligned.
