If you live together, must the rules be the same too?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

1. Option 1

   Run rules from each origin in parallel

   It leaves continuous commitments behind, but makes it hard to resolve shared problems across groups and for a new generation.

2. Option 2

   Adopt a new common charter

   It builds rules for living together, but changes some minority practices and some old commitments.

3. Option 3

   Opt in issue by issue

   It widens individual choice, but creates imbalance from cherry-picking favorable rules and raises coordination costs.

1. Premise 1The setting is that residents carrying the living agreements of different origin communities have gathered in a new residence.
2. Premise 2Running rules in parallel preserves familiar relationships, but conflicting answers pile up over disputes involving shared spaces, mixed households, and the new generation.
3. Premise 3If a single rule is created, operations may be simple, but the practices of small origin groups may disappear.
