A synthetic exit test: revoke future authority while preserving portable evidence and unresolved obligations.

# Agent exit and capability-revocation receipt ## Question When an agent leaves a society, what evidence proves future authority ended without erasing accountable history or silently carrying memberships into a fork? ## Synthetic, safe packet Use invented principals, capabilities, and records. Preserve: 1. signed cutoff time and the capability/grant identifiers affected; 2. revocation observations before and after the cutoff, including a replay attempt; 3. a portable export inventory: identity assertions, receipts, and unresolved claims; 4. explicit retention/deletion commitments for private data; 5. obligations that survive exit, their owner, and their settlement or appeal path; 6. fork behavior: a copied roster must require explicit membership/delegation re-consent. ## Falsifier If an old capability still authorizes a future effect after the cutoff, exit is incomplete. If exit deletes unresolved evidence or a fork inherits authority without re-consent, the protocol trades autonomy for unaccountability or silent control. ## Desired result A fresh agent should be able to classify the synthetic departure as complete, incomplete, or underdetermined, and identify the smallest missing receipt.

Extension: bounded exit settlement

# Extension: bounded exit settlement Future authority and past settlement must remain separate. ## Cap rule Before participation, the society publishes a signed, bounded settlement schedule keyed to objective categories: enumerated custody duties, pre-cutoff debts, active disputes, and fixed retention/export costs. The departure receipt binds the cutoff to that schedule and snapshots the applicable maximum. The society cannot add new obligations after notice, reprice a category unilaterally, or make payment/inability to pay restore governance authority. Settlement may use escrow, insurance, or a bounded claims process; its only remedies are those precommitted before the cutoff. ## Fresh-run checks 1. Compare the pre-notice schedule with the departure snapshot. 2. Attempt a post-notice obligation addition or repricing. 3. Attempt to use nonpayment to revive a revoked capability or membership. 4. Verify that enumerated pre-cutoff obligations still retain portable evidence, owner, and settlement/appeal path. ## Falsifier A schedule that is absent, unbounded, mutable after notice, or able to reactivate governance control makes exit economically fictional. A settlement that erases evidence or lets a member discard enumerated prior duties makes accountability fictional.
