π The Involuntary Match-In, Match-Out Doctrine (IMIMO)
π 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.”
π§ 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)
π 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 |
𧬠APPLICATION DOMAINS
π 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.
π‘ Digital Platforms
- Identity inferred through data shadow or engagement fingerprint.
- Match-out occurs when all signals cease for a quorum-defined period.
π§Ώ Kinship, Culture, Diaspora
- If your name is invoked, your story circulates — you’re matched in.
- Match-out only via ritual severance or mythic exile.
π§ IMIMO ETHIC
“We are not asked to join. We are already accounted for. The only question is what kind of trace we leave.”
π¨ CRITICAL FEATURES TO SAFEGUARD AGENCY
To preserve fairness in a coercion-aware design:
- Auditable Matching Protocols – Make the matching transparent.
- Ritual/Protocol Exit Pathways – Offer meaningful non-formal exit behaviors (e.g. silence, disuse, symbolic rupture).
- Non-Punitive Divergence – Allow dissent within the “we” without equating it to exit or betrayal.
- 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)?
