NDO creation
Creating an NDO commits the Layer 0 identity anchor. Three of its four choices are permanent, and the form is the only place a participant is told what they mean.
Why creation is group-scoped
The hierarchy is Lobby → Group → NDO. A group is a cloned DNA cell with its own DHT; an NDO created inside one is soft-linked from that cell. A global create flow would have nowhere to put the result.
So /ndo/new exists only to redirect: if a group is
selected it bounces there, and otherwise it explains. In production the explanation is
almost never seen, which is why the prototype always renders it.
Permanent versus mutable
| Field | After creation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name | permanent | It is how the network refers to the object. |
| Property regime | permanent | It constrains which governance rules are valid at all. |
| Resource nature | permanent | Rivalry and governance defaults follow from it. |
| Lifecycle stage | transitions | The only field the object is meant to move through. |
| Description | editable | Prose, not identity. |
Open question
Nothing in the form says the first three fields are permanent. The regime hint explains what Commons means, not that you cannot change your mind. A duplicate name is a warning; an irreversible regime is silent.
