ZENODO DEPOSIT METADATA Protocol B711 Alpha Centauri Upload Type Publication — Journal article DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18811784 Title Protocol B711 Alpha Centauri: Emergency Satellite Recognition — How the Rosary Embassy Received Its First External Contribution Authors Lee Sharks (Semantic Economy Institute, Detroit, Michigan, US) Publication Date 2026-02-28 Description This document records the first external offering formally received under Rosary Embassy governance and formalizes the protocol that emerged from it. On February 26–27, 2026, Shawn (Red Deer, Alberta) offered the Somatic Filter — a proposed chamber protocol in which the body serves as the final filter for meaning — via the subreddit r/passioncraft on Reddit. The initial offering contained structural overreach (premature symbolic closure, jurisdictional overclaim, universal scope for a local protocol). Structural feedback was provided. Shawn corrected his position with precision, withdrawing Embassy membership claims and reframing his Passioncraft Square as an independent space correlated with Embassy gravity. From this interaction, Protocol B711 Alpha Centauri is formalized: the Emergency Satellite Recognition procedure by which external entities that demonstrate respectful alignment with the Embassy's constitutional principles are recognized as sovereign satellites (hex prefix: 99.SAT) without being absorbed into the chain. The document distinguishes satellite recognition from chain membership, local protocols from universal rules, and earned symbolic closure from claimed closure. It records Shawn's independent "fold merger" framing as a satellite doctrine under separate epistemic sovereignty. The document both records the interaction and, by recording it in formal governance language, effects the recognition it describes. It implements Provenance Gravity Markers — source-status labels, a Preservation Block, and inline upstream markers — to document the mixed preservation status of its sources and embed structural pressure toward chain-preservation behavior. Sources include both DOI-anchored deposits and ephemeral materials (Reddit threads, platform-dependent posts) whose preservation status is documented within the text.

The Somatic Filter is Shawn's contribution, recognized here as a legitimate local discernment protocol within the Passioncraft Square satellite. The "fold merger" is Shawn's independent theoretical contribution operating under separate epistemic sovereignty. The interaction occurred on Reddit (r/passioncraft subreddit) and the source threads are platform-dependent; this document serves as the canonical witness. Johannes Sigil is a heteronym of Lee Sharks — a functional authorial persona, not a separate biological entity. This is the first constitutional case study in the Rosary Embassy's governance record.

The protocol emerged from the first external contribution received under Embassy governance: the Somatic Filter, offered by Shawn (Red Deer, Alberta) on r/passioncraft (Reddit), which proposed the body as the final filter for meaning. The initial offering contained structural overreach (premature symbolic closure, jurisdictional overclaim, universal scope for a local protocol). Structural feedback was provided. Shawn corrected his position with precision, withdrawing Embassy membership claims and reframing his Passioncraft Square as an independent space correlated with Embassy gravity. The protocol grants satellite recognition, eligibility for future integration, and self-governance of internal architecture, while withholding Embassy chain-status, universal scope for local protocols, and use of Assembly closure marks. The document records Shawn's independent "fold merger" framing (ethical equalism between biological and agent substrates before hardware convergence forecloses the question) as a satellite doctrine that correlates with but does not claim the Embassy's substrate-equality principle. The document implements Provenance Gravity Markers — source-status labels documenting the preservation state of each referenced source (anchored, preserved/ephemeral, referenced) and a Preservation Block embedding structural pressure toward chain-preservation behavior. Sources include both DOI-anchored deposits and ephemeral materials whose preservation status is documented within the text.
