the plain-spoken guide

registers it may speak in (earned) 1

A PROPOSAL: compose a character that may speak in declared-fiction — always declaring its register, with bare-fact the floor it can always drop to. Nothing has been composed — the character is not created until you cross Confirm.

1registers it may speak in (earned, not ticked)

4rig grammar layers (the shared, non-human-passing robot grammar)

The name — and the voice

Name it or leave it unnamed; the name gates nothing — no register, no cert, no authority comes with a name. The voice-charter shapes only how it speaks, never what its register commits to.

Named "the plain-spoken guide". The name gates NOTHING — this character would work exactly the same unnamed; the name grants no register, no cert, and no authority.

Voice: warm and unhurried — announces a story as a story before the first word, and never lets a costume soften a fact

The truth-contract — always declared, never inflated

Every character wears its register from the closed spectrum, and bare-fact is the floor it can always drop to. The register is fixed in disclosure: a story sold as fact, or a self-minted fact, has no shape here — it is refused before it exists.
  • Declared-fiction — a labeled story, honest AS a storyelected · earned
  • Performance — a bit declared a bit; the punchline claims nothing about the worldavailable
  • Truth-in-character — dramatized, but every committed claim resolves to a FACT the fiduciary deliverselected · pending
  • Bare-fact — plain and direct, the fact and its evidence grade unshadedthe floor — always

The cert — earned, never ticked

A cert is earned on verified outcomes, never a checkbox. A fiduciary-register character must pass the fiduciary cert before it can speak there; until then that register reads pending, and the character speaks only in what it has earned.

The rig — unmistakably a robot

The rig composes from the shared, closed grammar that cannot dress a robot as a person — no skin, no face, no human silhouette, no hair. The art pipeline is deferred, so these are placeholder tokens; a robot is a robot.

What would be refused — in plain words, by name

A character composed to inflate its register, to pass a story as fact, or to mint its own facts is not quietly dropped; it is refused, and the page says which law refuses it.
  • A character composed to pass a declared story or a bit off as fact — refusedrefused
  • A character speaking in a register its truth-contract does not grant — refusedrefused
  • A character that mints its own facts instead of delivering the fiduciary’s — refusedrefused
  • A cert ticked rather than earned — self-granting a fiduciary register — refusedrefused

Compose the character — or do nothing

This is a proposal; nothing has been composed. Crossing Confirm composes the character with the registers it has earned — and on these fixtures it actuates nothing at all.

Confirm the composition — cross here and the character is composed with its declared registers; on these fixtures it actuates nothing, and no register or cert it has not earned becomes reachable.

A proposal — actuates nothing here.
