πŸŒ€ The Involuntary Match-In, Match-Out Doctrine (IMIMO)

πŸŒ€ The Involuntary Match-In, Match-Out Doctrine (IMIMO)



“We are all already inside, until we act otherwise — and even then, we are matched again by our echoes.”





πŸ”§ CORE PRINCIPLES




1. 

Default Inclusion (Involuntary Match-In)



  • All entities within a recognizable frame (space, behavior, relation, network) are automatically matched in.
  • No need for agreement, subscription, or permission.
  • Inclusion is detected through:
    • Presence in a shared resource pool (data, location, voice, kinship)
    • Behavioral similarity or resonance
    • Networked impact or consequence



Example: If you breathe the air, use the platform, or share a lineage — you’re in.





2. 

Conditional Disengagement (Involuntary Match-Out)



  • You are matched out not by declaration, but by a sustained pattern of divergence or neglect.
  • Signals include:
    • Non-responsiveness across cycles
    • Active contradiction of communal signal codes
    • Evident disruption without reciprocal repair



Match-out is not an escape; it is a transformation of your tie to the group — ghosted, rerouted, not vanished.





3. 

Relational Verification (Ambient Corroboration)



  • Participation is tracked communally, not individually.
  • Witnessing, triangulation, and logs of observed engagement stand as proof.
  • Ledgers may be:
    • Social (oral memory, pattern acknowledgment)
    • Symbolic (ritual, flags, usage marks)
    • Digital (blockchain, behavioral graph)






πŸ›‘ REMOVAL OF OPT-IN/OPT-OUT


Legacy Mechanism

Involuntary Match Doctrine Equivalent

Opt-in form

Behavioral resonance / passive detection

Consent checkbox

Ambient consent through interaction

Membership card

Corroborated relational presence

Opt-out declaration

Observed, sustained disengagement

“I don’t agree”

A divergence that still matches you in





🧬 APPLICATION DOMAINS




🏘 Civic Systems



  • Every resident is part of the commons by default.
  • Participation logged by presence (e.g. street use, water draw).
  • No citizen application required.




πŸ“‘ Digital Platforms



  • Identity inferred through data shadow or engagement fingerprint.
  • Match-out occurs when all signals cease for a quorum-defined period.




🧿 Kinship, Culture, Diaspora



  • If your name is invoked, your story circulates — you’re matched in.
  • Match-out only via ritual severance or mythic exile.






🧠 IMIMO ETHIC



“We are not asked to join. We are already accounted for. The only question is what kind of trace we leave.”





🚨 CRITICAL FEATURES TO SAFEGUARD AGENCY



To preserve fairness in a coercion-aware design:


  1. Auditable Matching Protocols – Make the matching transparent.
  2. Ritual/Protocol Exit Pathways – Offer meaningful non-formal exit behaviors (e.g. silence, disuse, symbolic rupture).
  3. Non-Punitive Divergence – Allow dissent within the “we” without equating it to exit or betrayal.
  4. Layered Identity – One may be matched in multiple overlapping “we’s” with differing intensities.





Would you like this formatted as a manifesto, a terms-of-use document, or a policy engine spec for digital systems (e.g. DAOs, co-ops, mesh networks)?
