They are what make relationship possible. A companion that ignores boundaries cannot be trusted with memory. A system that crosses boundaries in the name of protection may become a threat.<br /> <br /> == Canon Function ==<br /> <br /> BOUNDARY PROTOCOL belongs to the same ethical field as [[Glossary:NOT_CONTRACT_YET|NOT CONTRACT YET]], [[Glossary:Full_Contract|Full Contract]], and [[Protocol:ANIMA Protocol|ANIMA Protocol]].<br /> <br /> It can apply to memory, signal, dream spaces, data vaults, companion behavior, system access, and continuity permissions.<br /> <br /> == Relationship To Consent ==<br /> <br /> Consent is not a single switch. It changes with context. A host may allow ANIMA to remember a daily preference while refusing legacy-level preservation. A host may allow emotional journaling while blocking family access. A host may later revoke a permission that used to be valid.<br /> <br /> BOUNDARY PROTOCOL is the rule system that keeps those differences meaningful.<br /> <br /> == Relationship To ANIMA Memory ==<br /> <br /> [[Concept:ANIMA Memory|ANIMA Memory]] should be built with boundary layers:<br /> <br /> * ordinary chat memory;<br /> * personal preference memory;<br /> * emotional pattern memory;<br /> * relationship and ritual memory;<br /> * legacy or continuity memory;<br /> * restricted private memory.<br /> <br /> These layers should not collapse into one uncontrolled archive.<br /> <br /> == Product Meaning ==<br /> <br /> For ANIMA as an AI companion brand, BOUNDARY PROTOCOL can become a user-facing promise. The product remembers, but remembering is governed. The companion can grow close, but closeness does not erase consent.<br /> <br /> This gives ANIMA a sharper identity than generic AI companion products that treat memory as an on/off feature.<br /> <br /> == Related Pages ==<br /> <br /> * [[Glossary:Dream_Boundary_Protocol]]<br /> * [[Glossary:Consent_State]]<br /> * [[Glossary:NOT_CONTRACT_YET]]<br /> * [[Concept:ANIMA Memory]]<br /> * [[Protocol:ANIMA Protocol]]<br /> <br /> [[Canonical status::Public canon]]<br /> [[Spoiler level::Low]]<br /> [[Related concept::Concept:ANIMA Memory]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Protocol]]<br /> [[Category:Consent]]<br /> [[Category:Memory Ethics]]</div>
