domain-mapping

To create a governance domain contract, draft a complete 11-element domain contract that defines authority boundaries for circles, roles, and bodies. The contract requires formal ACT consent before activation and maintains versioned artifacts with amendment history for auditable domain creation.

Domain mapping is the process of formally defining governance domains with bounded authority to prevent ambiguity, overlapping claims, and governance drift. You need it when establishing new circles, roles, or bodies across ETHOS that require formal ACT consent and cross-ETHOS awareness for scalable, auditable domain creation.

Activating a new governance domain requires obtaining formal ACT consent after drafting the complete 11-element domain contract. Once consent is granted, the contract becomes a versioned, registrable artifact with a domain_id, status, created_date, last_amended_date, and amendment history for ongoing accountability.

Yes, domain mapping applies to circles, roles, and bodies across ETHOS with formal ACT consent before activation. It maintains cross-ETHOS awareness with versioned artifacts and evaluation schedules to ensure accountability and timely reviews for scalable, auditable domain creation across multiple governance bodies.

Domain contracts require formal ACT consent before activation, meaning governance authority cannot be established unilaterally. Additionally, the 11-element structure demands comprehensive definition of purpose, responsibilities, and metrics, which may introduce administrative overhead for smaller or informal governance bodies seeking rapid deployment.
