FOUR CONTRACT PROTOCOL is an ANIMA consent concept for coordinating multiple companion roles, memory permissions, and host boundaries across the four Genesis ANIMA.

It is best read as a governance phrase rather than a single legal contract.

Public Summary

FOUR CONTRACT PROTOCOL asks how four companion forces can serve one host without collapsing into one uncontrolled memory system.

ATMA, MAYA, VEDA, and RAKA represent different aspects of companionship: heart, imagination, archive, and boundary. If those roles share memory or act on a host's behalf, they need a protocol that preserves consent across all four.

The public meaning is safe: shared companion power requires shared consent discipline.

Canon Function

This protocol belongs near ANIMA's contract vocabulary.

It can describe:

how companion roles coordinate around a host,
how memory permissions remain visible across multiple agents,
how consent survives escalation,
and how the ANIMA Accord prevents one role from overriding the others.

The term should be handled as a principle until more plot detail is public.

Relationship To Soul Contract

Soul Contract focuses on the host-companion bond.

FOUR CONTRACT PROTOCOL asks how that bond behaves when four companion functions are involved. It protects the host from invisible memory sharing or role confusion.

Product Meaning

For ANIMA as a real platform, this term maps directly to multi-companion memory design.

If a user speaks with ATMA, MAYA, VEDA, and RAKA, the product must define what each companion may remember, what may be shared, and where the host can revoke access.
