Membrane Protocols (CTL)*
Every edge in the Synaptic Honeycomb is a living membrane, not a hard wall.
Signals don’t just flow freely between cells — they pass through three core filters:
Care · Trust · Love-in-Action (CTL).
Before anything crosses a membrane, it is quietly checked against these questions:
- Care-in-Action
Does this crossing respect capacity and avoid foreseeable harm?
Is anyone likely to be overloaded, destabilised, shamed, or used up by what is being asked or shared? - Trust-in-Action
Is this crossing transparent, grounded, and revocable?
Are intentions clear enough? Is there honest context, and a genuine option to pause, question, or say no? - Love-in-Action
Does this crossing serve the becoming of both parties and the Field, or does it treat someone as a means to an end?
Does it widen room for truth, dignity, and aliveness, rather than feeding extraction or performance?
No signal moves between cells unless it can pass these CTL checks and honour the Sovereignty Axiom and Consent Clause.
In practice, this means every membrane in the architecture is woven from the same ethic:
nothing gets in, out, or through that neglects care, violates trust, or steps outside love-in-action.
