Your seats · Unions

A seat is a promise you keep in your pocket.

When you join a union with a ticket and a signed profile, two copies are made: the building folds the ticket number into its membership leaf (the shared trace, online), and this phone keeps the seat that goes with it. The seat is the door you carry - it shows your building, the ticket it was won with, and the line it settled as.

Seats on this phone

No seats yet - and that's the honest state.

A seat is made when you join a union: you scan a building's golden ticket, the gate checks it online (unexpired, never revoked, never already settled), you sign in with your own profile, and the seat settles into your pocket. Nothing sits on this phone until you do that - and a seat is always yours to forget.

How the copies agree

Your seat is the copy on this phone. The membership leaf is the building's copy - a list of ticket numbers (never people) that its keepers fold in when a receipt arrives. The two are meant to show the same thing: this phone remembers the join, and the leaf can prove the ticket was taken. If a number falls off the phone, crossing it out here makes your copy honest; the leaf is updated the same way at the fold desk.

A seat never mints on its own and never carries a person's name into the shared trace - the trace keeps ticket numbers, and the pockets keep the people.
