The New Earth Operating System.

NEOS is a platform for communities to make shared decisions, manage agreements, and coordinate projects and resources. On this site, you can explore communities, join one that fits your interests, and take part in its work. It is part of the PrimusNeo stack, and it is offered here as its own product.

Communities here are also called ecosystems. Explore their purpose before joining, then complete any agreements and onboarding quizzes they require. Each community sets its own participation paths.

It is

It is not

The 10 governance layers.

I. Agreement

How commitments are created, reviewed, and evolved

Every governance act begins and ends with an agreement. Agreements are living documents with clear domains, expiration dates, and review cycles. They encode the community's will into actionable, testable commitments.

II. Authority

Who decides what, and how roles flow

Authority in NEOS is distributed through roles, not positions. Roles are created by consent, carry explicit domains of authority, and can be filled, amended, or dissolved by the circle that holds them.

III. ACT Engine

Advice, Consent, and Test

ACT means Advice, Consent, and Test: advice from the people affected, consent as a check for a reasoned objection, and a test of the proposal in practice. It is not a popularity vote and not a share of ownership.

IV. Economic

Recorded resource practice, not a payment rail

Economic coordination is a recorded practice in the skill stack. This workspace does not move money, issue a token, sell a share, or run a funding pool.

V. Inter-Unit

Coordination across autonomous groups

Circles, pods, and ecosystems coordinate through shared agreements and liaison roles. Autonomy is preserved while enabling collaboration across organizational boundaries.

VI. Conflict

Repair and restoration, not punishment

Conflict resolution follows a restorative path: direct conversation, facilitated dialogue, mediation, and community process. The goal is always repair and learning, never punishment.

VII. Safeguard

Detecting and preventing power capture

The stack is designed to notice when power concentrates: term limits, rotation, transparency, and a way to raise an alarm. Treat those as part of the skill set, not as a claim that every community already runs them.

VIII. Emergency

Pre-authorized protocols for crisis

When crises arise, pre-authorized emergency protocols activate with clear scope, duration, and accountability. Emergency powers automatically sunset and require community ratification.

IX. Memory

Institutional learning that compounds

Decisions, experiments, and conflict records are supposed to remain findable, so a later member can see what was already decided.

X. Exit

The right to leave with dignity and data

Members can leave any circle, ecosystem, or the platform entirely. A person who files an exit can download the portable governance record this workspace already offers. Exit is not a payment or a transfer of ownership.
