Flash Cards for the Fedi Council Priorities


The Fedi Council Priorities are:

  1. Spirit before name
  2. Name before truth
  3. Truth before judgment
  4. Judgment before action
  5. Action before evaluation
  6. Evaluation before automation

Collectively, the Fedi Council Priorities are the channel protocol governing all Fedi Council communications. Before the intention of a code transmitter can even be considered, a code transmission must first be seen, in the context of prior transmissions on the channel, as satisfying the Fedi Council Priorities.

The fundamental principle of the channel protocol is strict layering. This means that if an earlier priority is violated by a communication, no discussions based on a later priority can be conducted, unless and until the violation is corrected or withdrawn.

Newcomers to the Fedi Council frequently find the priorities cryptic and unclear. These flash cards are intended as one element to help remedy that. They will not anticipate or answer all questions by any means, but they may help orient and ground the meaning of the Fedi Council Priorities.
