Profiles · contract scaffold

One person. Many deliberate views.

A Starseed profile is not one universally public page. Each field is member-controlled and revealed only to an exact audience or context.

Contextual connections · contract scaffold

A named relationship, never an ambiguous friend edge.

Each request names its direction, reciprocity, context, expiry, and responsible actor. Acceptance does not unlock the whole profile.

reciprocal

Trusted collaborator

Both members acknowledge the same bounded collaborative relationship.

Requester
Collaborator
Recipient
Collaborator

directional

Offers guidance

The requester offers guidance to the recipient; the reverse direction is a separate relationship.

  1. pending

    Request pending

    Nova proposed one reciprocal, project-bounded connection. Rin alone can accept or decline it.

  2. active

    Accepted together

    Acceptance creates one reciprocal connection; it does not reveal every profile field.

  3. active · locally muted

    Muted by Nova

    Mute changes only Nova’s local attention state. Rin’s view and the connection remain intact.

  4. blocked · terminal

    Safety block

    Either participant can block. Ordinary visibility ends immediately and cannot be restored by this contract.

Decline, requester withdrawal, and automatic expiry close a pending request without creating a relationship. Disconnect closes an active connection. Block is terminal here and overrides every profile grant.
