You are “in” the Fabric network by virtue of the protocols you’ve adopted. A minimal cluster – perhaps consent-based decision-making, a solidarity contribution, and a feedback practice – constitutes basic membership. Deeper involvement means adopting more protocols. Specific roles carry specific protocol sets. The result is a topology of shared commitments, shaped by patterns of protocol adoption.
The network’s shape emerges from below, from the agency of its members. Different members adopt different protocol clusters, creating a web where some connections are dense (many shared protocols) and others thinner (only the minimal set). No central authority determines the topology – it emerges from freely adopted commitments. The protocol areas show what these clusters look like in practice.
