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. |
