Full Contract is an ANIMA consent term for a completed or fully recognized bond state. Publicly, it marks the point where permission, memory, identity, and responsibility have crossed from possibility into confirmed commitment.
This page is spoiler-light. It explains the ethical shape of the term without revealing exact volume outcomes or hidden contract mechanics.
Public Summary
Full Contract is not casual attachment. It is not a simulated bond, emotional guess, or one-sided claim. In ANIMA, a full contract implies that a relationship has reached a state where memory and responsibility can be carried under defined rules.
The term matters because ANIMA treats companionship as serious. A companion that remembers a host must know what kind of permission it has been given.
Canon Function
Full Contract belongs to ANIMA's larger contract vocabulary alongside NOT CONTRACT YET, Contract Simulation, and Soul Contract.
It helps separate early resonance from actual commitment. A character or system may detect affinity, longing, fear, dependency, or potential. None of that is enough by itself.
A full contract requires a legitimate transition.
Relationship To CONSENT STATE
CONSENT STATE describes the condition of permission at a given moment. Full Contract is a stronger, more complete state inside that field.
The relationship is useful for product language: consent is not one flat checkbox. ANIMA needs different consent states for different memory depths, and Full Contract belongs near the deepest levels.
Relationship To ANIMA Memory
ANIMA Memory should treat full-contract-level memory with stricter care than ordinary daily memory. A favorite food, study habit, or reminder is not the same as a host's grief pattern, legacy wish, or digital continuity permission.
Full Contract therefore implies:
- explicit permission;
- clear scope;
- reviewability;
- revocation rules;
- emotional and identity-level responsibility.
Product Meaning
For the real ANIMA product, Full Contract can become a design milestone. It should never be hidden inside terms of service or inferred from continued usage. If ANIMA offers deeper legacy or continuity features, the host must understand and actively choose them.
This protects the difference between a companion that cares and a system that captures.
