Invariant Set
A framework of invariants can become an invariant set.
These are starter primitives. They are not commandments. They are reusable semantic scaffolds that survived enough contact to be worth trying.
Common invariants
- creative sovereignty
- embodied health
- relational dignity
- self-trust
- continuity
- repairability
- attention integrity
- non-extraction
- reversibility
- agency
Common attractors
- a life where meaningful work emerges regularly
- a household where health is easier than neglect
- a relationship where repair is more available than defense
- a community where contribution does not require burnout
- an AI assistant that serves declared meaning
Common ego assignments
- Protect contact with the field.
- Do not convert signal into story.
- Notice when the artifact becomes a weapon.
- Preserve consent before optimizing.
- Return to the attractor when urgency rises.
Common non-consents
- shame
- guilt
- panic productivity
- public comparison
- hidden optimization
- unbounded tracking
- surveillance
- scorekeeping
- moralizing
Common update rules
- If pressure rises, reduce scope.
- If connection rises, repeat.
- If avoidance rises, lower activation energy.
- If shame appears, remove the framing.
- If the artifact becomes rigid, return to the attractor.
