# Repairmand

Pair the authority to repair harm with involving those harmed in defining the repair

Layer: Society · Category: Governance

## Mechanism

When harm is acknowledged, the party holding [Responsibility](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Responsibility.md) for repair involves those harmed in defining what repair means, records their definition, and reports what was done against it.

## Invariants

- Those harmed take part in defining the repair.
- What was done is reported against the defined repair.

## Failure modes

- Unilateral repair: the harming party alone decides what counts as repair.
- Endless repair: repair is never declared complete.

## Builds on

- [Responsibility](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Responsibility.md) (Society; References)
