Tribe
Tribe: who you move with. What the strand begins from, what it gives the Framework, and how it is practiced, in the canon's own sentences.
Tribe concerns relationship and participation.
At the philosophy level
Tribe begins from the belief that lived systems are relational. No person experiences the whole system from every position, and no meaningful context is completely isolated from other people, roles, communities, or institutions. Agency must be preserved without pretending independence means separation.
Tribe protects the reality of relationship.
At the framework level
Tribe gives PLAIT a way to understand participation across context: relationship, role, signal, reception, expectation, authority, trust, boundaries, coordination, contribution, and shared consequence.
The framework does not force every situation through all three strands equally. It makes the strands available as lenses so a practitioner can recognize what kind of work is actually present.
At the practice level
Tribe is practiced by bringing the relational weave into view, understanding where people stand, signaling and receiving context, clarifying assumptions and authority, and participating or contributing with intention.
