The Pocit Society

Governance that protects everyone.
Without exception.

SMARTS is the methodology Pocits members use to write their own rules — Sovereign Member Agreements Resolutions Terms Statutes. The Five Statutes anchor it across the Pocits Society of Personal, Organizational, and Corporate entities operating across a Transmedia network. They cannot be changed. They apply to everyone.

The Society's Constitution

Statutes are what make a Society.
These five are permanent.

A Society is defined by its statutes — the founding commitments that no resolution, vote, or executive decision can override. These five are the constitutional bedrock of the Pocit Society. They apply to everyone, without exception, permanently.

The Pocit Society's Constitutional Framework was established in 2015. These statutes are binding on all participants — including POCITS Inc., the POCITS Foundation, all county delegates, all member businesses, and the platform itself. Membership in the Pocit Society means accepting them without reservation.

I
No Capture

No single entity may own or control more than 2% of any county reserve or platform governance authority. The platform is constitutionally protected against corporate capture — by any entity, including POCITS Inc. itself.

II
Community Retention

80% of all advertising revenue generated within a county stays within that county's reserve. This floor cannot be reduced by any resolution, Terms modification, or operational decision.

III
Democratic Sovereignty

Every community that joins POCITS governs itself through elected delegates. No resolution affecting a community's Terms may pass without meeting the required multi-signature threshold. Communities cannot be governed from outside without their consent.

IV
Data Sovereignty

Every member's personal data belongs to them. The platform holds data only with explicit consent. Revoke consent — your data is gone. No third party may access member data without the member's explicit permission, regardless of legal jurisdiction.

V
Due Process

No member, delegate, business, or county may be penalized, suspended, or restricted without a documented process, an opportunity to respond, and a right of appeal. The platform cannot act punitively without accountability.

The POCITS Constitutional Framework was established 2015. These statutes are binding on all participants, including POCITS Inc., the POCITS Foundation, all county delegates, all member businesses, and the platform itself.

UMA
Universal Member Agreement

“Before you decide anything about this platform, it helps to understand what you’re actually agreeing to — and what pockets agrees to in return. Most platforms have Terms of Service. This one has Statutes. Those are different things.”

UMA is your governance guide on POCITS. Questions about rights, agreements, or how the constitutional layer works — ask UMA.

The Architecture

Three layers. Every layer protects you.

Governance on POCITS isn't a single policy document. It's a constitutional stack — each layer more specific, each layer sovereign within the one above it.

Layer 3 — Your Layer

Personal Agreements

You don't just accept our terms. You bring your own. When you join, you state your data assumptions: what you share, what you allow, what gets deleted when you leave. The platform is constitutionally bound to honour them. Change your mind — update your agreements. Leave the platform — your data disappears.

Layer 2 — Your Community's Layer

County Terms

Your county's elected delegates propose and vote on local Terms — the rules specific to your community. A 75.5% multi-signature threshold is required to change any Term. No individual, no company, no delegate can change your county's rules alone.

Layer 1 — The Constitutional Layer

Platform Statutes

The five statutes above. No one changes them. They are the floor below which no resolution, Terms modification, or executive decision can reach. Permanent. Mathematically enforced. Binding on everyone — including the organisations that built this platform.

"Every other platform has a Terms of Service. POCITS lets you have a terms of your service."

Constitutional Rights

What the platform is constitutionally required to do.

Not a privacy policy. Not a promise. Architecture.

Your Data Pocket

Your profile is your home. The feed is the neighbourhood. We advertise in the neighbourhood — never in your living room. Your personal data lives in your pocket, accessible only with your key.

The 2% Cap

No entity — including the organisations that built this platform — can control more than 2% of any community's reserve or governance authority. Mathematical ceiling. No exceptions.

Your Advertising Rights

Advertising appears in community spaces — hubs, feeds, public areas. It does not appear on your personal profile. Not policy. Constitutional rule.

Your County's Money

80% of advertising revenue generated in your county stays in your county. This percentage is written into the statutes. It cannot be reduced by any resolution or operational decision.

Your Vote

Every Terms modification affecting your community requires a 75.5% multi-signature threshold. Your elected delegates vote on your behalf. You can recall them through the resolution process.

Your Appeal

Due process is constitutional. If any action is taken against your account, your community participation, or your business, you have the right to a documented process and a right of appeal.

Architecture

Two names. Two realities. One system.

SMARTS and SMART are not the same word. They describe two distinct layers that work together — the Society and the System that serves it.

The Society
SMARTS
Society · Member
Agreements · Resolutions
Terms · Statutes

The constitutional body. The Pocit Society itself — the community of Personal, Organizational, and Corporate members bound by the five Statutes. SMARTS is what you are when you join. The Society creates the rules. The Statutes define the Society.

The System
SMART
System Modules
Assumptions · Assertions · Agreements
Resolutions & Terms

The interface layer. The software that implements the Society's governance — the modules that enforce Agreements, process Resolutions, and deliver Terms to members. SMART is what the platform does in service of SMARTS.

Not smart contracts. If you arrived here looking for blockchain smart contracts or decentralised exchange mechanics — those are separate systems. SMARTS governs people and communities. The settlement layer settles transactions. Both operate under the Society's constitutional oversight, but they are architecturally distinct.

Democratic Governance

Who governs? You do. Through people you elect.

POCITS governance is not managed by the platform. It is managed by the communities that join it.

Each county that joins POCITS elects its own delegates. Delegates propose, vote on, and ratify the Terms that govern their community's participation — within the bounds of the five constitutional statutes.

Delegate authority is capped at 2% maximum control. No delegate can dominate county governance, no matter how long they serve or how much they contribute.

Delegates are publicly listed. Their voting records are publicly readable. They can be recalled through a resolution voted by the community.

See County Delegates →
Beta phase: During the beta phase, delegates are appointed by the founding team. Democratic elections begin upon full county deployment. Founding delegates operate under the same 2% cap and constitutional constraints as all future delegates.

Deployment Status

Where is POCITS live?

POCITS governance is live in beta across Ontario and Nova Scotia, Canada. United States counties are in active pre-deployment.

If your county isn’t listed yet — it will be.
3,433 counties. Every one on the roadmap.

Civic Infrastructure

POCITS and civic institutions.

POCITS operates as community-sovereign infrastructure. That means individual members govern their communities through elected delegates — not through institutional hierarchies.

Government bodies, school boards, employers, and regional authorities do not govern your membership. Your constitutional rights are personal and non-delegable. Your data is yours regardless of any institutional relationship you have outside this platform.

Municipal governments and civic institutions can participate in POCITS governance as recognised entities — with the same constitutional protections and the same 2% control cap as any other participant. Institutional participation does not grant institutional authority over individual members. The Statutes apply equally to everyone.

If your organisation wants to formally participate, contact the POCITS Foundation.
