Invariants are constraints that MUST NOT be violated while they are in force. No decision, role, process, or emergency measure may override an invariant. If a conflict arises between an invariant and any other rule, the invariant prevails.
Active Invariants
| ID | Invariant | Added | Decision record |
|---|---|---|---|
| INV-001 | The primary purpose may never be overridden by any operational or strategic decision, role, or emergency measure. | [link] | |
| INV-002 | Authority must always be explicit and traceable to the governance system — no person or role may hold or exercise undeclared authority. | [link] | |
| INV-003 | Exit from the community must always be possible and must never be blocked, penalised, or made conditional beyond what is defined in Layer 1. | [link] | |
| INV-004 | The structural layer must remain non-ideological — no belief system, culture, or ideology may be embedded as a requirement in RCOS Core or EcoHubs governance. | [link] | |
| INV-005 | EcoHubs may never be used as a vehicle for speculative financial gain or extraction from its members. | [link] | |
