# Reasoncommons

Keep the reasons behind a shared decision readable by everyone it binds

Layer: Society · Category: Protocols

## Mechanism

Each shared [Decision](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Decision.md) is recorded with its reasons, the alternatives rejected and why, and who decided, in a place everyone the decision binds can read. People who were not in the room can then follow, question or revisit it.

## Invariants

- Each shared decision records its reasons, the rejected alternatives and who decided.
- The record is readable by everyone the decision binds.

## Failure modes

- Reasons in the room: only the deciders know why the decision was made.
- Post-hoc reasons: reasons are written after the fact to fit the decision.
