# Consentrenew

Seek fresh consent when an initiative changes its purpose, scope or consequences

Layer: Society · Category: Governance

## Mechanism

Consent given for an initiative is a [Permission](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Permission.md) that records the purpose, scope and expected consequences it covers. A change in the initiative beyond any of them needs fresh consent from those who gave it before the change takes effect.

## Invariants

- Consent records the purpose, scope and consequences it covers.
- A change beyond them needs fresh consent before it takes effect.

## Failure modes

- Consent creep: an initiative grows past what was consented to.
- Consent fatigue: renewals are requested so often that consent becomes reflexive.

## Builds on
