DOMMI
How it works

The passage, in order.

Every bond on Dommi follows the same passage, from admission to a practice you keep. What follows is the whole of it, step by step, with nothing left to guess.

The Authority

The one who sets the terms.

The Authority reviews the Court, initiates an Accord when the terms hold, and names the structure, cadence, and care it will carry. Setting terms is a responsibility here, held to the same written agreement as the member who accepts them.

The Devoted

The one who keeps them.

The Devoted composes a Declaration, stands in the Court on their own written terms, and commits to the Accord they help shape and seal. Committing is a choice made in full, and it stays theirs to pause or withdraw.

Admission

You enter by invitation and accept the Tenets before anything else. Nothing here is browsed into. You are admitted to a House, not dropped into a crowd.

A place is taken

You take one of two places. The Authority is the member who sets the terms of an Accord. The Devoted is the member who commits to keep them. Neither is a performance and neither outranks the other; both are bound by the same written agreement.

The Court

You are shown one Presentation at a time, read in full, before the next appears. There is no deck to thumb through and no count of who is waiting. The Court asks for attention, and returns it.

The Declaration

Every member writes a Declaration: what they offer, what they seek, and what stays outside the room. It stands in the member's own words, ahead of any portrait. Terms are read before a face is judged.

The Accord

When both mean to proceed, the terms are written as numbered clauses, negotiated line by line, and sealed by each of you. An Accord can be reopened and revised before it is sealed, amended after, and it is always kept in version so nothing is quietly rewritten.

The Channel

The Channel opens the moment the second seal lands. It is where the practice is conducted, closed to everyone but the two of you, and it holds only while the Accord holds.

The Ritual

A sealed Accord becomes something you return to: a protocol, regular check-ins, and a living record of what was kept. The bond is a practice with a memory, built on over time rather than begun again.

Standing

Standing is a member's record, built from kept terms and steady conduct over time. It is earned by follow-through, never bought and never traded on popularity.

Consent runs the length of it

Yours to pause. Yours to withdraw.

Consent is not spent at the seal. Either member can pause a dynamic, and either can resume it. Standing is untouched by a pause, because stepping back is a legitimate use of the terms, not a mark against you. To end it, either member can revoke, and the Channel closes. Nothing here asks you to keep going.

An Accord is a written understanding between members. It is not a legal contract, and consent given here is never permanent.
