The I·V·O framework is not a method, not a technique, and not a promise. It is a minimal architecture for observation, direction, and context.
Precisely because IVO is so fundamental, every use of it requires a different form of ethics. Not stricter — but finer. Not more rules — but more precision.
Ethics within IVO is not about what is allowed, but about how something appears. Not moral, but structural.
An attitude of working
Working with consciousness, systems, and field dynamics means working with tension, direction, and possibility. Not with diagnoses or protocols, but with human state and contextual coherence.
That is why I practice field ethics: no checklist, no dogma — but a way of being present that keeps the field pure.
Field ethics is not a limitation. It is a precision instrument.
No steering, only attunement
I never steer a direction. Direction that doesn't fit pollutes the field.
I follow: the state of the system, the movement that is already visible, the coherence that emerges, the truth that presents itself.
No manipulation. No pushing. No fixing. Only attuning to what fits.
Nothing filled in that cannot be carried
In field work, you can sometimes see more than someone can carry at that moment.
Therefore: what cannot be carried is not spoken. No projections. No grand truths. No conclusions that overwhelm the system.
Truth must land — not overwhelm.
The field leads, not my preference
My personal opinion, conviction, or judgment is not leading.
I follow one compass: the field is always right.
If something doesn't fit, I correct myself — not the system.
Clarity over being right
I never work to be right. Being right is ego. Clarity is field logic.
Clarity: lowers tension, restores direction, makes patterns visible, returns ownership.
That is always the goal.
Intervene as lightly as possible
A field is refined. You can disturb it with: too many words, too fast interventions, too hard interpretation, too large steps.
Ethics means: the lightest possible intervention that works. No more. No less.
Ownership remains with the person
I never take over someone's field. I don't carry. I don't rescue. I don't fix.
My position is clear: I observe (I). I sense direction (V). I let the field speak (O).
Ownership stays where it belongs.
No diagnoses, no labels
I don't label people. I don't diagnose. I don't categorize.
I look at: tension, direction, noise, rhythm, coherence.
Behavior is never a defect. Behavior is always a movement within a system.
Silence as instrument
Silence is field language.
In silence a system can: settle, land, reset, find direction.
Ethics means: not filling silence. Some things only happen when you don't intervene.
Confidentiality without noise
What arises in a field stays in that field.
I share nothing with third parties. I repeat nothing out of context. I dramatize nothing. I amplify nothing.
Purity is safety.
The person above the model
The I·V·O framework is powerful. But no model is more important than a person.
I adapt the model to the experience — never the experience to the model.
No magic, no promise, no mysticism
I don't work with secrets, claims, or predictions.
I never suggest that I: have access to something "higher," can manipulate the field, can predict things.
Working clearly, soberly, and concretely is what makes this safe.
Direction must fit the system
The only test: does the system relax? does it become lighter? does the direction fit?
If not: back to observing. If yes: the system moves by itself.
Not ethical — architectural
In addition to this field ethics, explicit safety conditions apply to all applications of IVO.
These are not moral judgments, but structural preconditions.
IVO may not be applied in systems that: autonomously scale up, continue themselves without explicit observation, cannot be stopped, are contextually unbounded.
Without explicit I, interruptible V, and bounded O, IVO refuses to exist.
This ethics describes how work is done. Licenses determine who gets access and under what conditions.
Every application of IVO — professional, technical, or commercial — always moves within this ethical space.
What doesn't resonate here is not forced. What fits finds its way naturally.
Purity of presence
Ethics in this work is not about rules. It is about purity of presence.
The field only works when: the observer is clear, the direction stays soft, the context is attuned, and the intervention is light.
That is the foundation on which Design by Authenticity works. And that is the space within which IVO appears.
