Field Register and Signals
The Join mechanism: individuals and institutions place a minimal, public presence signal on the field map under explicit consent; the country appears, individual details are never published. A signal records presence only; it is not membership, not endorsement and not an institutional commitment.
Canonical definition
The Field Register is the Join mechanism of ibqmi.com: individuals and institutions place a minimal public presence signal on the field map under explicit consent for public listing. A signal records presence only.
Why this node exists
Presence and engagement are different things. The register makes presence visible without creating membership, endorsement, standing or any institutional commitment, and it must never be read as a list of supporters or affiliates.
Operational meaning
The country of a signal appears on the public map; individual details are never published. Enrollment is recorded in the register under a minimal-memory policy and can be revoked by notice. The public counters show humans and institutions with signals. Institutional engagement proper runs through the Protocol Desk and structured dialogue, not through a signal.
What this does not mean
A signal is not membership, not endorsement, not recognition, not affiliation and not an application to any program. Public signals do not imply institutional commitment by IBQMI or by the signaller.
