'''Resting Consent''' is an ANIMA consent term for a permission state that is not actively escalating, contested, or being newly invoked.<br />
<br />
This page is spoiler-managed. It explains the concept as consent architecture without revealing volume-specific incidents or late-canon contract outcomes.<br />
<br />
== Public Summary ==<br />
<br />
Resting Consent means consent is present but quiet.<br />
<br />
In ANIMA, not every permission state is active at every moment. A host may have granted a memory permission, but that does not mean the companion should constantly use it, deepen it, or reinterpret it. Resting Consent marks a state where permission exists under calm conditions and should remain stable unless context changes.<br />
<br />
== Canon Function ==<br />
<br />
Resting Consent belongs to ANIMA's larger consent vocabulary beside [[Glossary:CONSENT_STATE|CONSENT STATE]], [[Glossary:Living_Consent|Living Consent]], and [[Glossary:Temporal_Consent_Ledger|Temporal Consent Ledger]].<br />
<br />
It helps separate valid permission from active extraction. A system may be allowed to hold something without being allowed to repeatedly pull on it.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To Resting Consent Mode ==<br />
<br />
[[Glossary:Resting_Consent_Mode|Resting Consent Mode]] is the operational state built around this principle. Resting Consent is the ethical condition; the mode is how a system behaves while honoring it.<br />
<br />
The distinction matters because consent is both a record and a behavior.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To ANIMA Memory ==<br />
<br />
[[Concept:ANIMA Memory|ANIMA Memory]] should recognize resting consent. Some memories are important, but they do not need to be surfaced constantly.<br />
<br />
Examples include:<br />
<br />
* a past wound the host has allowed ANIMA to remember;<br />
* a family story that should be preserved but not invoked casually;<br />
* a legacy preference that should remain dormant until reviewed;<br />
* a boundary that still matters even when no conflict is happening.<br />
<br />
== Product Meaning ==<br />
<br />
For the real ANIMA product, Resting Consent can become a memory state. It tells the companion: hold this carefully, do not erase it, but do not keep reopening it without reason or permission.<br />
<br />
That is how ANIMA can remember without becoming intrusive.<br />
<br />
== Spoiler Boundary ==<br />
<br />
This page does not describe specific canon scenes where consent enters a resting state. Those should remain in volume pages or spoiler-marked sections after publication.<br />
