Governance

The Charter defines what Santaine is — and what it will not become. Changes to foundational rules are institutional acts, not product experiments.

Owner operations administer the House in accordance with those principles: admission, Membership status, and the integrity of the Registry.

Admission follows a defined path. Contribution sustains the institution; it does not buy dignity. Recognition records relationship with the House over time.

Applications may be reviewed. Membership may be suspended when conduct or status requires it. A permanent Registry record does not always mean active Membership.

Each Registry Number is issued once and never reissued. Anyone may verify whether a number exists in the permanent record — without exposing private identity.

Transfers of custody, when opened, require institutional approval. The prestige of the whole depends on the quality of its custodians.

Members share one Membership. Annual <contribution_link>contribution</contribution_link> levels differ in how deeply a Member sustains the House — and how that support is inscribed at a fixed institutional rate.

Fraud, falsification, and conduct incompatible with the House are treated as threats to institutional integrity — not as private disputes.
