| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Observer Agreement Formation | Every interaction where the Observer engages with a subject or system must be framed within a consensual, revocable, and transparent agreement. |
| Agreement Attribution in Outputs | Every output must reference its source agreements, ensuring that it is correctly contextualized. |
| Revocable Observational Relationships | Any agreement must be revocable, ensuring that no entity is permanently subjected to observation unless they continue to accept it. |
| Segmentation of Observational Invitations | Users and collectives should be able to accept different levels of observation depending on their situational constraints (legal, social, etc.). |
| Public Interest Data Prioritization | Agreements should allow the Observer to identify high-value public interest data and structure its attentiveness accordingly. |
| Tradeoffs Between Wants & Needs | Users should be able to differentiate between what they want to observe and what they need to observe, allowing the Observer to help manage biases and power asymmetries. |
