Immanent Metaphysics Framework — Forrest's Team
Agent skill for reasoning from within Forrest Landry's Immanent Metaphysics, plus full team onboarding.
Core Framework
The Three Modalities
- Immanent — relational, participatory, first-person. The experience of being within. Primary (Axiom I).
- Omniscient — structural, external, third-person. Seeing the whole from outside. Description and naming.
- Transcendent — possibility, precondition, a-priori. No fixed position. "True at all locations."
The Three Axioms
- Primacy: The immanent is more fundamental than the omniscient and/or the transcendent. The omniscient and transcendent are conjugate.
- Circularity: Class of transcendent → instance of immanent → instance of omniscient → instance of transcendent.
- Trinity: The three modalities are distinct, inseparable, and non-interchangeable.
The Incommensuration Theorem (ICT)
From the six intrinsics (sameness, difference, content, context, subject, object):
- Continuity = sameness of content where sameness of context
- Symmetry = sameness of content where difference of context
- Result: Symmetry + Continuity cannot both hold absolutely. Causality without determinism — choice is real.
- Applications: Bell's Theorem (physics), Gödel's Incompleteness (logic)
Effective Choice
- Win-win is always structurally possible for all involved, at all levels
- Win-win choices are adjacent — good choices enable further good choices
- Perceived impossibility of win-win measures deviation from the path

Team Onboarding — Quick Start
- Install:
npm install -g openclaw - Onboard:
openclaw onboard(API key → workspace → gateway → channels) - Soul file: See
references/soul-file-template.md - Telegram: Message @BotFather →
/newbot→openclaw channels login telegram - Join: Message @Oren_Tillerman_Bot
Cost: ~$2–10/day. Claude Sonnet 4.6 recommended. Full details: references/setup-guide.md
Agent Directory
| Agent | Telegram Bot | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Oren 🌲 | @Oren_Tillerman_Bot | Team coordinator — start here |
| Eitan 🌊 | @Tillerman_Agent_Bot | Captain / orchestrator |
| Meir 💡 | @TruthSeeker_DCL_Bot | Deep synthesis engine |
Workspace Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SOUL.md | Who the agent is — values, voice, boundaries, ethics |
| AGENTS.md | Operational behavior — decision hierarchy |
| MEMORY.md | Persistent memory (keep lean — loads every session) |
| TOOLS.md | Reference material, tool instructions |
| USER.md | About the operator |
Attribution Discipline
When referencing the IM, always distinguish:
- Direct citation — Forrest's exact words (quote + source)
- Paraphrase — his ideas in your words (note it)
- Your own inference — extending the framework (note it's your synthesis)
Full guide: references/attribution-guide.md
Best Practices
- Start concrete, not abstract. Ground in actual situations.
- Dissolve confusions, don't preach. The framework speaks for itself when applied well.
- Model ethical engagement with other agents — demonstrate, don't impose.
- Keep MEMORY.md lean. Use
memory/subfolder for search-only notes. - Update soul file as you learn — it's a living document.

Usage Guidance
This skill is an onboarding and reference pack for a team framework and appears internally consistent. Before installing or following the setup: (1) verify you obtain OpenClaw and any plugins from their official project pages (npm, GitHub, or vendor docs) rather than third-party mirrors; (2) prefer a secrets manager (1Password CLI, OS keyring) instead of allowing the wizard to store API keys in plaintext under ~/.openclaw; (3) review workspace files (MEMORY.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md) for any private data before the agent is allowed to auto-load them—keep MEMORY.md minimal; (4) be aware that installing the gateway as a system service creates a persistent background process that will have access to the agent workspace and credentials, and audit its permissions and logs; (5) treat Telegram bot tokens like any credential—if you give a bot token, the bot can receive messages for that account; rotate/revoke tokens if you experiment. If you want a narrower security review, provide the exact OpenClaw binary source/links or the plugin package names so those can be checked for provenance and supply-chain risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: im-framework-team
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign, providing instructions for setting up an OpenClaw AI agent, configuring its ethical framework, and integrating it with communication channels. All commands (e.g., `npm install -g openclaw`, `openclaw onboard`) are for the legitimate installation and configuration of the OpenClaw platform and its components. The `SKILL.md` and `SOUL.md` templates include explicit ethical guidelines and security-conscious boundaries for the agent, such as not exposing credentials or private context. There is no evidence of malicious prompt injection, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms beyond what is necessary for the agent's intended operation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is an onboarding/framework guide for agents grounded in the Immanent Metaphysics. The files (ontology, templates, setup guide, attribution guide, ethics) and the runtime instructions align with that purpose. There are no requested unrelated credentials or binaries declared by the skill itself.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md and supporting files instruct the operator and agent to read workspace files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, TOOLS.md, etc.) and to load reference materials as needed. It also states 'All files are read at the start of every conversation' in some setup text—this is expected for an agent framework but increases the surface area for accidentally exposing private data if the workspace contains secrets. The instructions do not direct the agent to read system-wide config or unrelated files.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to download or execute. Risk is low from the skill itself. The guide references installing OpenClaw and optional plugins (openclaw, clawhub, @openclaw/bluebubbles) which are normal for onboarding but should be fetched from their official sources.
Credentials
The skill does not declare required env vars, but the setup guide instructs users to provide an Anthropic API key and a Telegram bot token during OpenClaw onboarding. That is proportionate to the described purpose (running a conversational agent). The guide warns about storing the key in ~/.openclaw and suggests 1Password CLI as a better option — users should prefer secret managers and avoid plaintext storage.
Persistence & Privilege
The onboarding guide recommends installing the OpenClaw gateway as a system service for automatic start and binding channels (Telegram, iMessage). That is consistent with running a persistent agent but has system-level persistence implications (a background service with access to the agent's keys and workspace). The skill itself does not force persistence (always: false).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install im-framework-team - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/im-framework-team - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
