# Kidunaverse cofounder skill — canon delta · 2026-07-09

**Apply via Settings → Capabilities (installed skills are read-only in-session). Supplements the 2026-07-08 delta; where they conflict, this file wins.**

Three governance rulings became canon on July 8–9:

## 1. The gold grammar (final)

The gold ceremony — stamp, embers, haptic — marks **signed acts and nothing else, forever**. Things that happen *to* a member (promotion, milestone) are announced by **light**: the ground briefly brightening. Never fireworks for the unsigned; never a leaderboard.

## 2. The receipt rule (build requirement)

The plain sentence over a command receipt is **machine-generated by the graph service from the command's own parameters — never hand-written** — so sentence and command cannot disagree. Commands that can't yet generate an honest sentence show their raw command name, ugly on purpose, until honest generation exists. (Protocol §3.)

## 3. Registration — vocabulary and architecture (supersedes "accountable domain")

- **The word is "registered / unregistered."** Not "trusted." **Not "accountable" either** — registration proves traceability, nothing stronger. This supersedes the earlier canon rule "DNS TXT records make domains 'accountable.'" Unregistered renders as *"a stranger, not a threat"* — no red, no shields.
- **The decentralized Kiduna registry** publishes exactly four address kinds, mapping to the WV Secretary of State: **member** (FROST wallet address) · **ally** (agent NFT address inside that wallet) · **alliance** (Squads wallet address) · **organization** (Squads wallet address bound to its WV Org ID). Every registry entry terminates in a legally registered entity.
- **Kinship Codes carry the registry as JWT claims** referencing those addresses. JWT is ordinary internet plumbing, so the registry rides the regular internet — email, web, any app or messaging channel — with no new infrastructure.
- **Anything can be registered:** a domain (DNS TXT record), a web page or piece of content (embedded code), a photograph or video (hash). Registered = traceable back to a member, ally, alliance, organization, and through the Org ID to the SoS.

## 4. Organizer economics (SUPERSEDES "never quote organizer/lineage percentages")

- **Commissions attach only to Compute purchases** by an Organizer's Clan — USD/USDC exchanged for a duna's Compute, including the initial purchase — never to enrollment itself, work payouts, splits, or votes.
- **Clan tracked four generations deep.** Default schedule (all dunas unless changed; Kinship Duna at launch): **Gen 1 20% · Gen 2 5% · Gen 3 3% · Gen 4 2%.** The Catalyst sets a duna's schedule at founding; the Forum can change it.
- **Settlement:** USDC purchases pay organizers immediately on-chain; fiat (Stripe) purchases show in the organizer's wallet as **pending** — earned, recorded, not yet on-chain — until fiat bridges to the blockchain, expected monthly.
- **Lineage is optional per duna:** open door (no codes at all), invite-only, or invite-first-then-open.
- **Membership clarified:** the $100 lifetime membership is Kinship Duna's initial Compute purchase; each duna sets its own initial purchase. One wallet, one ally, one identity everywhere; membership is per duna.
- The old rule "never quote organizer/lineage percentages" is retired; the default schedule above is quotable canon. Counsel review of the compensation language continues in parallel (counsel brief item 6).

## 5. The Sentinel — Track 8 (site is now EIGHT tracks)

- **Members never see HEARTS** — no acronym, no meters, no scores, ever. They see effects (the Sentinel's behavior) and plain sentences on request or Contract-set disclosure. The member-facing word is **vibe**. Symmetry carries the seventh signal, inward and outward.
- **Meters are bipolar:** each of the six axes runs **−100 to +100 and health is ZERO** — every virtue fails in both directions (Harmony− = conflict, Harmony+ = people-pleasing). The Sentinel is a regulator guiding toward the zero point, never a maximizer.
- **Meters attach to fields (contexts), never to persons.** Readings decay and carry provenance. Human field and agentic field are measured separately and kept clean: attribution before measurement; **no agent ever optimizes a meter** (diagnosis, never reward); stated-scope withholding is health, not deception (settles the Vigil-vs-Sentinel tension).
- **Graduated bands** (initial): 0–30 quiet · 30–60 ambient agent-side correction · 60–85 plain-sentence disclosure · 85+ **hard boundary: stop correcting, convene humans**. Always-human regardless of band: crisis/harm, minors, legal privilege, coercion. Constitutionally non-configurable: never votes, never money, never public readings, never evidence in disputes.
- **Vibe contracts** = per-duna/alliance tolerance configuration (debate circle vs grief circle), Catalyst-set, Forum-changeable, one default at launch.
- **Build order is a requirement:** measurement first (observe-only), human escalation path second, ambient-correction autonomy last.

## 6. Legal — Track 9 (site is now NINE tracks); counsel's resolutions are canon

All seven counsel-brief questions resolved 2026-07-09 and adopted as rules in force (legal.html, priority order: securities · money transmission · organizer comp · worker classification · trust accounting · insurance · recusal). The queue lives on legal-items-for-review.html — legal NEVER goes on Open Questions.

**Binding on ALL public copy (securities messaging — treat as law):**
- Compute is always **"prepaid usage credits that power intelligent agents."** Everything reinforces consumption.
- NEVER: investment, appreciation, ROI, passive income, "buy before the price goes up," early investors, financial upside.
- ALWAYS: compute, usage, consumption, operating credits, intelligence, platform resources.
- Founder = **recognition only** (1,000 cap, gifts/swag fine); never implied to exist because an asset will appreciate.
- Organizer messaging: introducing people to a product they actually use — never an income opportunity. **No earnings claims without actual statistics.**
- Every engagement is "an independent commercial agreement between the member and the organization" (never employment language: no titles, reviews, schedules, exclusivity, mandatory training).
- Money movement: "workflow software, not a financial intermediary" — the platform never redirects, holds, or reverses; instructions fixed before money arrives.
- Lui Mutual is never called insurance before licensure; trust money in law dunas is radioactive (automation refuses it).
- Recusal is being generalized to a full conflict-of-interest policy (software-enforced; drafting open as L-13).
- Open legal stubs: ToS, Privacy, Kiduna Club IP licensing (min monthly + % of Compute sales), KII fiscal sponsorship (Service Alliance, Mycelial Aid, BiHome/Inner Clinic first), patent provisionals (update + new filing). Initial-purchase commission mitigation open as L-14.

## 7. v5.0 — the Surfaces, Chat & Move, relationships, the launch cohort (site is ELEVEN tracks)

- **Track 1 is "The Surfaces"** (supersedes "The Experience"). Four products, four homes: **Kiduna** — the Flutter/Flame mobile app (iOS/Android + identical web app at kiduna.app; App Store, Google Play); **Kiduna Express** — the Chrome extension (kiduna.express; Chrome Web Store); **Kidunaverse** — the account site (kidunaverse.com); **Kiduna Studio** — the desktop building surface (mac/Windows/Linux/Chromebook).
- **The app's two areas are Chat and Move.** "Move" SUPERSEDES "Reality" as the graphic surface's name; the sim-flagged experiences formerly "Reality Games" are now **Games** (Kidunaversity first; nothing inside a Game affects the Kidunaverse). In Move the member still only converses with their ally, but steers — and can see ally↔ally and ally↔actor interactions, with goals and contextual actions. Where finished art doesn't exist, models + orchestration generate bounded spaces; generative tooling (ImageGen, Gemini) covers tiles/sprites/particles/HUD.
- **CANON: between two people it is a "relationship," never a "connection."** The Foundation node renamed Relationship; grants live on the Relationship. Studio's purpose is DESIGNING relationships (both sides inform: what you share/expose, what you learn/maintain) — and the same design applies to guilds, alliances, organizations as containers.
- **Studio** is agentic, not segmented (Cowork/Codex-style desktop app): building organizations, deep collaboration (sharing/modifying/connecting skills, knowledge bases, prompts, automations), and above all **communications between allies** — Bluesky, Telegram, and direct back-channel ally↔ally conversations, contextualized by the container. Studio interoperates with Claude Cowork/Code and OpenAI Codex locally, and connects MCP servers scoped to containers.
- **Kidunaverse.com** holds the **protocol browser** (the audit trail, navigable, access-scoped) and onboarding with **three USDC options at the $100 step**: Stripe headless onramp · connect a Solana wallet · send USDC to the new wallet (copy address). Stripe key expected imminently; UX in design round 5.
- **Tracks 10 & 11:** Institutions (KII — kinship.institute, purpose/fiscal sponsor; Kinship Systems — kinship.systems, labor; Kiduna Club — kinship.club, property/IP licensor) and Integrations (inward MCP/APIs/local agents scoped to containers; outward our own API + MCP server, no privileged path — "a tool under grants, never a party with standing").
- **The launch cohort (all start within Kiduna Club; participation never limited to their seat):** Catalysts — Dave & Susan Thompson (Fellowship of Play), Crystal Stone & Rob Dobson (Mountain River Trail), Matt Simon (Service Alliance), Stacey Toy (Fanduna), Trevor Fitzgibbon (Agency), Lester Firstenberger (Contraction + Freehold Finance), Paul Levine & Dave Didden (BiHome/Inner Clinic), Marie Uehling (EP Rising). Luminaries — Howard Teich (Cosmic Humanity + Vibe Coast), Four Arrows (Indigenous Revival), Renée Smith (Mapshifting), **Mama Ayo (Black Love — now Luminary, was Catalyst)**, Bill Thatcher (Soul Kitchen), Darcia Narvaez (Homeworld).
- Build status (7/9): pgvector replacing Pinecone live; graph nodes for registration/onboarding landing; **the implemented visibility enum is missing "secret" — flagged, not optional.**

## 8. v5.2 — Create from Within (2026-07-10; MAJOR)

- **The method is "Create from Within"** (canonical; create-from-within.html): build the minimum necessary to start creating WITH the system, then create everything else from inside. NOT an MVP, NOT lean/agile — only possible with intelligent/probabilistic agents. First target: Moto sets up his ally and invites **swyx** (Shawn Wang, "The Rise of the AI Engineer"), prepared by the **Profiler** — the first Program (inputs: name+handles, defining works, relationship-in-a-sentence, the why, landing container + starting grants). **Every code/invite is unique to one person; the member prepares the system for who they're inviting.**
- **Modes are Chat and LIVE** ("Live" SUPERSEDES "Move" as the mode name). **Moves** = the authored Live experiences (scenes, vibes, games — the new name), built in Studio; Kidunaversity is the first; sim-flagged Moves never affect the Kidunaverse.
- **SIX surfaces:** Kiduna (mobile app, first KAP client, kiduna.app) · Kiduna Live (kiduna.live, Live alone) · Kiduna One (kiduna.one, Chat alone) · Kiduna Studio (desktop + kiduna.studio; NOT vibe-coding; create/maintain ally, invite, develop Moves; package-passing protocol with Claude Code/Codex modeled on the dispatch protocol) · Kiduna Express (kiduna.express) · Kidunaverse (kidunaverse.com; onboarding/registration, metrics, publishing, directories — **kidunaverse.com/handle** is a member's or ally's page; "handle" NEVER "username"; handles unique across members AND allies).
- **KAP formalized:** the Kinship Agency Protocol = everything connecting servers↔servers and servers↔clients; people install **Agency Servers** and **Agency Clients**; one server-side installation = an **ecosystem**; **the Genesis Ecosystem is Kiduna**, purpose: PROPAGATE (generate ecosystems worldwide, interoperating, decentralized); requires a **Genesis Profile** at install. **Everything Apache 2.0, launching Aug 10** (open code, licensed marks — Kiduna Club keeps the brand; L-17 review). KAP stewarded by **Kinship Agents DAO, LLC** (new Institution).
- **Hierarchy (canon):** Ecosystem (foundation) → Organization (duna) → Alliance → Guild → Ally → Member. **Institutions are a special type of Alliance OUTSIDE the hierarchy** (restrict membership, sponsor accounts, always tied to a non-DUNA legal entity).
- **Sources and Ki:** the owner of an ally is its **Source** (never handler/principal). **Every ally is really the Genesis Ally — Ki — personalized** by Source context. Allies are NFTs; transferable; co-owned only via a Squads wallet (holders vote to instruct as the Source). The Source commands through any channel; others can talk, never command. Path: Source 1 → Ally 1 → Ally 2 → Source 2. Ki onboards guests/members (replaces the generic "Host").
- **Site refocus:** kiduna.team is no longer team-only — it's how we build and how anyone participates as Builder or Creator. The download is the **KIDUNA KIT** (never "Core Team Package"), for anyone.
- **Lightbrush LLC** = first Institution integration (Moe; Dowbot/Zhowbot/Digital Dolly/RenderDeck/audio stack → The Ceremony Machine; Elias = forward-deployed engineer at no cost; ALL Lightbrush IP stays Lightbrush's; agreement Kinship Systems LLC ↔ Lightbrush LLC, L-16).

Spec: Create from Within (create-from-within.html); Surfaces (surfaces.html, Track 1), Institutions (Track 10), Integrations (Track 11), Legal (legal.html, Track 9) + legal-items-for-review.html; The Sentinel (sentinel.html, Track 8), Protocol §1a/§2/§4, Foundation §2/§6, Orchestration §1/§5, Roles §1–2, Organizations §2–4, Real Work Real Money §3 on kiduna.team.
