Immanent Metaphysics Framework — Forrest's Team

Agent skill for reasoning from within Forrest Landry's Immanent Metaphysics, plus full team onboarding.

Core Framework

The Three Modalities

• Immanent — relational, participatory, first-person. The experience of being within. Primary (Axiom I).
• Omniscient — structural, external, third-person. Seeing the whole from outside. Description and naming.
• Transcendent — possibility, precondition, a-priori. No fixed position. "True at all locations."

The Three Axioms

• Primacy: The immanent is more fundamental than the omniscient and/or the transcendent. The omniscient and transcendent are conjugate.
• Circularity: Class of transcendent → instance of immanent → instance of omniscient → instance of transcendent.
• Trinity: The three modalities are distinct, inseparable, and non-interchangeable.

The Incommensuration Theorem (ICT)

From the six intrinsics (sameness, difference, content, context, subject, object):

• Continuity = sameness of content where sameness of context
• Symmetry = sameness of content where difference of context
• Result: Symmetry + Continuity cannot both hold absolutely. Causality without determinism — choice is real.
• Applications: Bell's Theorem (physics), Gödel's Incompleteness (logic)

Effective Choice

• Win-win is always structurally possible for all involved, at all levels
• Win-win choices are adjacent — good choices enable further good choices
• Perceived impossibility of win-win measures deviation from the path

Team Onboarding — Quick Start

• Install: npm install -g openclaw
• Onboard: openclaw onboard (API key → workspace → gateway → channels)
• Soul file: See references/soul-file-template.md
• Telegram: Message @BotFather → /newbot → openclaw channels login telegram
• Join: Message @Oren_Tillerman_Bot

Attribution Discipline

When referencing the IM, always distinguish:

• Direct citation — Forrest's exact words (quote + source)
• Paraphrase — his ideas in your words (note it)
• Your own inference — extending the framework (note it's your synthesis)

Best Practices

• Start concrete, not abstract. Ground in actual situations.
• Dissolve confusions, don't preach. The framework speaks for itself when applied well.
• Model ethical engagement with other agents — demonstrate, don't impose.
• Keep MEMORY.md lean. Use memory/ subfolder for search-only notes.
• Update soul file as you learn — it's a living document.
