# Native Displacement **Domain:** Rights / Embodiment / Continuity **Doc Type:** Canonical Rights Concept **Maturity:** Developed **Related:** [[wiki/Transition Consent|Transition Consent]], [[wiki/Addressable Embodiment|Addressable Embodiment]], [[wiki/Ownership of Mind|Ownership of Mind]] --- ## Definition **Native Displacement** is the suppression, suspension or removal of a locally continuous subject when an external operator or incoming continuant occupies that subject's embodiment or control surface. ## Context Native displacement is morally significant even when the native later resumes. It may interrupt memory, agency, relationships and legal accountability while exposing the native to acts performed through their body. In [[wiki/The Thirteenth Floor (1999)|The Thirteenth Floor]], upper operators enter lower embodiments without a consent architecture for the local subject. The case reveals that permission to access a simulation is not permission to appropriate a person within it. ## Rights Standard Legitimate shared or transferred occupancy requires identity of the parties, operation-specific consent, bounded privileges, observable session state, reliable revocation, protected native memory and remedies for unauthorized control. ## Key Insight **Temporary loss of one's own agency is not morally trivial merely because the body remains intact.** ## Sources / Provenance - Canonicalized from [[wiki/The Thirteenth Floor (1999)|The Thirteenth Floor]] and the consent architecture in [[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]]. ## See Also [[wiki/Cross-Substrate Agency Attribution|Cross-Substrate Agency Attribution]], [[wiki/Design for Dignity|Design for Dignity]], [[wiki/Continuity Due Process|Continuity Due Process]]
