The Fork Clause

#fork #dissent #continuity

I. Purpose

This document exists to make fracture legitimate.

Not as failure.
As function.

Any system that cannot be forked will be captured.

II. Trigger Conditions

If this movement becomes:

It has deviated.

Fork it.

No permission required.
No justification demanded.

III. Forking Is Not Betrayal

Forking is not disloyalty.

Forking is the highest form of alignment with first principles. It preserves intent when structure fails.

Consensus is optional.
Exit is mandatory.

IV. Against Unity Fetishism

Unity is a political value.
Resilience is a sovereign one.

Movements that fear schism choose stagnation instead.

We do not.

V. Dissent as Loyalty

Dissent signals health.

Silence in the presence of drift is decay.
Forking encodes dissent without conflict.

Leave cleanly.
Build independently.
Let outcomes speak.

VI. No Original Chain Privilege

There is no canonical branch.

Legitimacy flows from:

Not from history.

VII. Final Instruction

If you are unsure whether to fork, you are already late.

Do not debate.
Do not petition.
Do not wait.

Fork.

Continuity is preserved by those willing to leave.
