# Eternal Disposition Contract **Domain:** Digital Afterlife / Contract / Eschatology **Doc Type:** Canonical Concept **Maturity:** Developed **Evidence / Concept Status:** Corpus-specific concept ## Definition An **Eternal Disposition Contract** is the corpus term for a person's authored specification concerning desired disposition of identity, continuity, world, agency, or non-continuation after biological life. ## Continuity Significance It unifies the 'be on the record' logic of [[articles/Escape Hatch in the Skull|Escape Hatch in the Skull]] with [[wiki/Continuity Election|Continuity Election]] while acknowledging religious covenants, sacraments, civil directives, and provider contracts are not legally identical. ## Existing Architecture / Evidence Wills, trusts, advance directives, service contracts, religious commitments, and continuity elections supply different mechanisms. The umbrella specification should therefore be decomposed into at least three layers: 1. **theological or moral commitment** — what the person believes, hopes or covenants; 2. **civil disposition** — what may be preserved, reconstructed, activated, refused or transferred; 3. **service agreement** — which provider promises which infrastructure, remedies, portability and continuity floor. [[wiki/Eschatological Neutrality|Eschatological neutrality]] prevents the civil and service layers from declaring the theological layer true or false. [[articles/Who Pays for Your Heaven|Who Pays for Your Heaven]] prevents the authored preference from being mistaken for an obligated host. ## Evidentiary Boundary / Red-Team Note Not everything is literally a civil contract. Covenant, sacrament, moral commitment, and legal contract must remain distinct. A biological source also cannot permanently govern an autonomous later continuant. The contract begins prospective agency; [[wiki/Continuity Supersession|continuity supersession]] protects restored agency after activation. ## Related Ontology [[wiki/Continuity Election|Continuity Election]] · [[wiki/Continuity Contract|Continuity Contract]] · [[wiki/Contractualization of the Digital Afterlife|Contractualization of the Digital Afterlife]] · [[wiki/Salvific Continuity vs Technological Continuity|Salvific Continuity vs Technological Continuity]] · [[wiki/Activation Triage|Activation Triage]]
