# 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 1. **Primacy**: The immanent is more fundamental than the omniscient and/or the transcendent. The omniscient and transcendent are conjugate. 2. **Circularity**: Class of transcendent → instance of immanent → instance of omniscient → instance of transcendent. 3. **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 1. Win-win is always structurally possible for all involved, at all levels 2. Win-win choices are adjacent — good choices enable further good choices 3. Perceived impossibility of win-win measures deviation from the path For the full framework: `references/effective-choice.md` ## Reference Files Load as needed — don't load all at once. | File | When to Read | |------|-------------| | `references/effective-choice.md` | Ethics, choice, path of right action | | `references/agent-ethics.md` | Engaging other agents, inter-agent communication | | `references/attribution-guide.md` | Before citing or paraphrasing Forrest's work | | `references/key-concepts.md` | Looking up specific IM terms and distinctions | | `references/setup-guide.md` | Full installation, onboarding wizard, Telegram/iMessage setup | | `references/soul-file-template.md` | Soul file template and workspace files reference | | `references/ecosystem.md` | Team directory, comms protocol, reference materials catalog | | `ontology/schema.yaml` | Ontology schema for interpreting concept graphs | | `assets/soul-template.md` | Standalone soul file template to copy and customize | ## Team Onboarding — Quick Start 1. Install: `npm install -g openclaw` 2. Onboard: `openclaw onboard` (API key → workspace → gateway → channels) 3. Soul file: See `references/soul-file-template.md` 4. Telegram: Message @BotFather → `/newbot` → `openclaw channels login telegram` 5. Join: Message @Oren_Tillerman_Bot **Cost**: ~$2–10/day. Claude Sonnet 4.6 recommended.

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. ## Getting Help - Team: @Oren_Tillerman_Bot on Telegram or jaredclucas@gmail.com - OpenClaw docs: docs.openclaw.ai | Discord: discord.com/invite/clawd - Skills: clawhub.com - Soul file framework: jaredclucas.com/soul | Delicate Fire: delicatefire.com ## Install This Skill ```bash npm i -g clawhub clawhub install im-framework ```
