Abundance Token Constitution & Holacracy

Preamble: Evolutionary Purpose

We, the builders of the future, establish this Constitution not as a static set of laws, but as a living framework for a Teal Organization. The Abundance Token (AT) ecosystem is a self-organizing entity dedicated to a higher evolutionary purpose: "To enable a regenerative, post-scarcity civilization where all life thrives."

We operate on the principles of Self-Management (distributed authority), Wholeness (bringing our full selves to the mission), and Evolutionary Purpose (listening to what the organization wants to become).

Article I: Core Principles

Section 1: Regenerative Value & Wholeness

The value of the Abundance Token is grounded in the wholeness of our ecosystem:

  1. Labor: Conscious human effort driven by purpose, not just profit.
  2. Ecological Regeneration: Tangible healing of the biosphere, verified by data.
  3. Physical Production: The creation of open-source infrastructure (GVCS) that empowers autonomy.

Section 2: Anti-Inflationary & Reality-Based

The Token supply is an organic reflection of value creation. New tokens are minted ONLY when verified value is added to the ecosystem. This connects our economic reality to our physical reality.

Section 3: Open Source Ethos

Wisdom is a commons. All knowledge, designs, code, and governance records shall remain open source, accessible to all, enabling global systemic capability.

Article II: Rights of Participants

  1. Right to Participation: Anyone may energize a Role within the ecosystem if they accept the purpose and accountabilities.
  2. Right to Transparency: The governance records, fincancials, and decision-making processes are open by default.
  3. Right to Process: Every Partner has the right to process Tensions through valid Governance channels.
  4. Right to Fork: If the Holarchy diverges from the shared purpose, participants have the moral and technical right to fork the project.
  5. Right to Learn: The path to Stewardship must never be closed. All educational resources, badging criteria, and mentorship opportunities must remain open to any Apprentice willing to do the work. The ecosystem cannot artificially cap the number of Stewards.

Article III: The Holarchy (governance)

Governance is distributed through a nested hierarchy of semi-autonomous circles (a Holarchy), not a hierarchy of people.

Section 1: Distribution of Authority

  • No Rulers: No individual has command authority over another. Authority is vested in Roles and Circles.
  • Authority Follows Competency: The right to steward a domain (e.g., manage the server, run the farm) is strictly tied to verifying the requisite skills (Stewardship Badge).
  • Constitution as Supreme Law: This document and the encoded rules of the "Algorithmic Guardian" define the limits of all authority.

Section 2: The Governance Process

  • Integrative Decision Making: Governance decisions (creating roles, changing policies) are made by consent, not consensus. A proposal is adopted unless it causes harm to the circle's purpose ("Objection").
  • Double Linking: Circles are connected by a Lead Link (appointed by the super-circle) and a Rep Link (elected by the sub-circle) to ensure information flows both ways.

Section 3: Operational Autonomy

  • "Whatever is not forbidden is allowed": Roles have full authority to take any action to express their purpose, unless explicitly restricted by a Policy or Domain.

Article IV: The Algorithmic Guardian

The "Algorithmic Guardian" represents the immutable laws of our digital physics (Smart Contracts). It enforces hard constraints (inflation caps, minting logic) that even the highest Circle cannot violate without a consensus Hard Fork.
