SMARTS is not a software feature. It is the constitutional body that governs the platform — a Sovereign Member community of Personal, Organizational, and Corporate entities operating across a Transmedia Society. Five Statutes define it. They cannot be changed. They apply to everyone.
The Society's Constitution
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Architecture
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.
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.
Your county's elected delegates propose and vote on local Terms — the rules specific to your community. A 75.2% multi-signature threshold is required to change any Term. No individual, no company, no delegate can change your county's rules alone.
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
Not a privacy policy. Not a promise. Architecture.
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.
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.
Advertising appears in community spaces — hubs, feeds, public areas. It does not appear on your personal profile. Not policy. Constitutional rule.
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.
Every Terms modification affecting your community requires a 75.2% multi-signature threshold. Your elected delegates vote on your behalf. You can recall them through the resolution process.
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
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 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 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.
Democratic Governance
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.

Civic Infrastructure
Municipal governments, regional authorities, and civic institutions can participate in POCITS governance as recognised entities — with the same constitutional protections as any other participant, and the same 2% control cap.
Government participation does not give government authority over community governance. The statutes are not subject to municipal, provincial, or federal override. POCITS operates as a community-sovereign infrastructure layer.
