Consent

This page is an attractor gateway, not a canon declaration. It compresses current evidence in the Work Vault and points toward underlying research.

<!-- BEGIN CURATED SEMANTIC COMPRESSION -->

Semantic Compression

In this vault, consent is not merely permission. It is the boundary condition that determines whether a loop may continue, whether a trace may become admissible, and whether optimization remains aligned with the agency of the living system it touches.

Why It Matters

Consent is the structural difference between participation and extraction. It determines whether memory, governance, provenance, attention, and trust remain alive or collapse into coercive machinery.

Core Motifs

• boundary and authorization
• refusal and reversibility
• semantic fit
• consent as loop condition
• consent gradient
• consentful provenance
