Admission in Realith

Admission answers the question of whether a subject, node, or service is admissible for participation in a contour, role, or infrastructural procedure.

This is the layer of infrastructural admissibility of participation.

What exactly it determines

Admission may relate to:

  • participation in a contour;
  • holding a role;
  • entering a network procedure;
  • entering a restricted infrastructural regime.

It answers neither the question of a right to the object nor the question of factual disclosure of content. It answers only the question of the admissibility of participation itself.

What does not follow from admission

Admission does not automatically entail:

  • a right to the object;
  • permission for a specific action;
  • factual access to content;
  • claim against the network for an arbitrary service volume.

This distinction is what protects Realith from turning into an ordinary closed platform.

Why admission must be separate

If admission is not separated from permission, access, right, and service claim against the network, infrastructural participation begins to read incorrectly as a full bundle of powers.

For inter-subject coordination this is destructive, because different levels of admissibility collapse invisibly.

Short formula

Admission means: the subject or service may participate in this environmental regime at all.
It does not answer the questions:

  • what exactly it will see;
  • what exactly it will be able to do;
  • what belongs to it;
  • what the network owes it as a service.
