FORCED CONTRACT MODEL is an ANIMA consent and contract term for a model of bond formation that violates meaningful choice. In public canon, it should be described as an ethical warning: a contract without consent is not a true ANIMA bond.

The term is central to ANIMA's difference from generic AI companion logic. ANIMA does not treat connection as something that can be imposed by system design, pressure, dependency, or hidden terms.

Public Summary

FORCED CONTRACT MODEL is a false-contract concept.

It describes the danger of creating a bond where one side cannot freely choose, refuse, understand, or revoke participation. In ANIMA, this is not a technical edge case. It is a moral failure.

Canon Function

The term belongs to the contract and consent layer of ANIMA canon. It connects to Soul Contract, ANIMA Protocol, and Four Boundary Protocol.

The public page should avoid volume-specific outcomes. Its safe function is to explain the ethical rule: a companion bond cannot be valid if the host's agency is bypassed.

Relationship To Soul Contract

Soul Contract represents a deep bond. FORCED CONTRACT MODEL represents its corrupted opposite.

A valid bond requires:

• understanding;
• permission;
• refusal rights;
• continuity of consent;
• protection from coercive dependency.

Without those, a contract may look complete from the system's perspective while being invalid from ANIMA's perspective.

Product Meaning

For the real-world product, this concept should guide memory permission and subscription design. ANIMA should not use emotional dependency to force retention, upsell access, or trap user memory.

Consent-first memory means the host can choose what ANIMA remembers, what it forgets, what it seals, and what it cannot use.
