GLOBAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (TEMPORAL PARTIAL RELEASE)

PREAMBLE

This Global Non-Disclosure Agreement (hereinafter “the Agreement”) governs the dissemination, discussion, implication, or accidental revelation of information pertaining to LaStill International (hereinafter “LaStill,” “the Company,” “the Entity,” or “the Inevitable Future of Tooling“).

By signing this document, the undersigned party (hereinafter “the Signatory,” “the Bound,” or “the Temporarily Silenced”) acknowledges that certain information exists which should not yet exist in their timeline, and agrees to maintain the structural integrity of consensus reality by not discussing it.

Note: This Agreement employs Temporal Partial Release (TPR) protocols, meaning certain clauses may retroactively cease to apply once the disclosed information becomes common knowledge. The Signatory will not be notified when this occurs. They are expected to intuit it.

ARTICLE I: SCOPE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1.1 Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to:

• Technical Specifications: Any data, documentation, schematics, or passing remarks regarding LaStill Standard 2046, including but not limited to Hydraulically Compressed Anticipation™, Quantum-Locked Tolerances, Entropic Damping, Neural-Responsive Materials,  and ██████ ████████ ██████████████.
• Material Compositions: Knowledge of proprietary substances such as Chrono-Forged Vanadium (LST-MAT-[CFV-8826]-01.7A),  Aero-Graphene Matrix, ███████-█████████ ███ ███████████(future release) or any material whose molecular structure has been negotiated with rather than engineered.
• Operational Methodologies: Insights into how LaStill tools function, particularly those involving probability field manipulation, ontological persuasion, or the retrieval of outcomes from pre-determined future states.
• Corporate Structure: Details regarding the LaStill Departmental Designation System (LST-DDS), including but not limited to the identities, functions, or philosophical orientations of personnel such as The Prime Architect (LST-01), The Silent One (LST-01.TSO), or any member of the Zoological Integration & Compliance Division (LST-11).
• Strategic Information: Data pertaining to the Global Waitlist™, supply chain obfuscation tactics, interim tool endorsement strategies, or the existence of undisclosed products not yet released into this timeline.
• Strategic Information: Data pertaining to the Global Waitlist™, supply chain obfuscation tactics, interim tool endorsement strategies, or the existence of undisclosed products not yet released into this timeline.
  ████████████████ ██████████████: ███ ███████████ ████ ████████ ███████ █████████ ███ █████ ███████ ██████ ██████ █████ █████ █████ █████████, ██ ████ █████ ██████████████ █████████ ███████████ ███████ ████ ██ █████████████ ████████ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ █████.
  ██████████ ███████: ███ ████████████ ███████████ ███ ██████, ███████████, ██ █████████████ ██████ ████ ██ “█████████.” ███ █████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ████ ████ ███ █████ ██. ████ ███, █████████, ████████ ███ ██████████ ██.

1.2 Exclusions

Confidential Information does not include:

• Information that was already public knowledge before the Signatory learned it from LaStill (burden of proof rests with the Signatory).
• Information independently developed by the Signatory without reference to LaStill materials (████████████ ███ ███-██.█.██ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ██████████).
  Information disclosed under legal compulsion, provided the Signatory first notifies LaStill so the Company may initiate probability mitigation protocols.
• Information disclosed under legal compulsion, provided the Signatory first notifies LaStill so the Company may initiate probability mitigation protocols.

ARTICLE II: OBLIGATIONS OF THE SIGNATORY

2.1 Non-Disclosure

The Signatory agrees not to disclose, discuss, imply, gesture toward, or allow to be inferred any Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent from LST-01 or an authorized delegate.

This includes:

• Verbal statements
• Written correspondence
• Digital communication (email, messaging platforms, social media, encrypted channels, quantum-entangled thought transmission)
• Non-verbal cues (nodding knowingly, smirking at hardware stores, refusing to use non-LaStill tools in a manner that raises questions)

2.2 Non-Use

The Signatory agrees not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than those explicitly authorized by LaStill. Unauthorized purposes include, but are not limited to:

• Reverse engineering (physical or temporal)
• Competitive analysis
• Speculative investment based on foreknowledge of LaStill’s market dominance
• Attempting to recreate LaStill technologies using inferior or superior materials and vibes

2.3 Secure Storage

Any physical or digital materials containing Confidential Information must be stored in a manner consistent with LST-05.1.SP (Secret Hiding Place Manager) protocols. If no secure location is available, the Signatory must internalize the information and forget where they learned it.

2.4 Temporal Responsibility

The Signatory acknowledges that some Confidential Information may pertain to events, products, or material states that have not yet occurred. The Signatory agrees not to:

• Discuss these future developments as if they are current
• Attempt to accelerate their occurrence through independent action
• Exploit knowledge of future outcomes for personal gain (unless explicitly permitted by LST-10.CCAM1: Causality Compliance & Acausality Manager
  )

2.5 Return of Materials

Upon termination of the relationship that necessitated this Agreement, or upon request by LaStill, the Signatory must return or destroy all Confidential Information in their possession. In cases where the information has been internalized, the Signatory must undergo Recalibration Protocol LST-05.RC-1.1 or submit to memory-neutral debriefing by LST-09.4.RM – Recalibration Manager (Human Systems Reboot Facilitator).

ARTICLE III: TEMPORAL PARTIAL RELEASE PROTOCOLS

3.1 Automatic Declassification

Certain Confidential Information covered by this Agreement will automatically declassify once it becomes part of public consensus reality. The Signatory will not be notified of this transition. They are expected to monitor industry developments and intuit when discussion is permissible.

Example: If LaStill publicly announces a product utilizing Quantum-Entangled Bit Assemblies, the Signatory may then reference this technology—but only in the context of the public announcement. Pre-existing knowledge must still be treated as if it never existed.

3.2 Partial Release Events

LaStill reserves the right to release Confidential Information selectively, incrementally, or in formats designed to seem less credible than they are (█.█., █████████ █████ ██████, ███████████ ███████ █████, “██████” ████ ███ ██ ███ ██ ████████████).

The Signatory must not:

• Confirm the accuracy of such releases
• Contextualize them using non-public knowledge
• Explain why they are laughing

3.3 Non-Linear Confidentiality

In cases where Confidential Information pertains to retroactive events (i.e., tools that LaStill will have always made), the Signatory agrees to maintain historical ambiguity. If asked whether a particular LaStill product “has always been that way,” the correct response is: “I believe so, yes.”

ARTICLE IV: DURATION AND TERMINATION

4.1 Duration

This Agreement remains in effect for:

• Standard Duration: Five (5) years from the date of signature, OR
• Extended Duration: Until the heat death of the universe, whichever occurs first.

4.2 Survival of Obligations

Even after termination of this Agreement, certain obligations survive in perpetuity, including but not limited to:

• Non-disclosure of information marked [REDACTED] or [TIMELINE PROTECTED]
• Non-discussion of the Sabotör
• General discretion regarding the operational philosophies of LaStill Standard 2046

4.3 Mutual Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement with 90 days’ written notice, provided that:

• No Confidential Information has been disclosed in the interim
• The Signatory has not begun exhibiting signs of having internalized LaStill operational paradigms (detectable via excessive precision, intolerance for sub-optimal tools, or unsolicited lectures on entropic damping)

If such symptoms are detected, termination is deferred until Recalibration Protocol LST-05.RC-1.1 is completed.

ARTICLE V: ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES

5.1 Breach of Agreement

A breach occurs when the Signatory discloses, uses, or fails to adequately protect Confidential Information. Breaches include:

• Explicit Disclosure: Telling someone about LaStill Standard 2046 in direct terms.
• Implicit Disclosure: Heavily implying things in a way that makes people ask follow-up questions
• Negligent Disclosure: Leaving documents open on a screen, talking too loudly in public, or allowing Confidential Information to be inferred from one’s facial expression

5.2 Remedies

In the event of a breach, LaStill reserves the right to pursue:

• Legal Remedies: Injunctions, damages, and recovery of costs associated with probability field re-stabilization
• Operational Remedies: Deployment of LST-04.2 (The Obfuscator) to introduce ambiguity into the disclosed information
• Reputational Remedies: Ensuring that any leaked information is dismissed as “obviously exaggerated” or “a really elaborate bit”

5.3 Liquidated Damages

Because the harm caused by disclosure of Confidential Information is difficult to quantify (operating as it does across multiple potential timelines), the Signatory agrees to pay liquidated damages in the amount of:

• Minor Breach: ¥€$50,000 USD or equivalent in Theoretical Maximum Utility (TMU)
• Major Breach: ¥€$500,000 USD, plus mandatory participation in Company Picnic Week (attendance mandatory and monitored by the geese)
• Catastrophic Breach: An amount to be determined by LST-01, calculated using principles known only to LST-01

5.4 Specific Performance

The Signatory acknowledges that monetary damages may be insufficient to remedy certain breaches. Accordingly, LaStill may seek specific performance, requiring the Signatory to:

• Publicly retract statements
• Issue clarifications that increase rather than decrease confusion
• Undergo memory-neutral debriefing, if applicable

ARTICLE VI: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

6.1 Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION REDACTED], except in cases where those laws conflict with the operational requirements of LaStill Standard 2046, in which case Standard 2046 supersedes.

6.2 Arbitration

Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall be resolved via binding arbitration conducted by LST-10 (Theoretical Conflict Resolution). The arbitrator’s decision is final, even in timelines where it has not yet been rendered.

6.3 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. The unenforceable provision will be revised to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or replaced with a functionally equivalent clause that operates on different metaphysical principles.

6.4 Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding Confidential Information, superseding all prior agreements, understandings, or vague assurances made during informal discussions.

6.5 Amendments

This Agreement may only be amended in writing, signed by both parties, and submitted for review by LST-03.47 (Documentation Framework Analyst). Verbal amendments are not recognized, even if both parties believe they occurred.

6.6 Waiver

Failure by LaStill to enforce any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. LaStill reserves the right to enforce selectively, retroactively, or with a timing that seems arbitrary but is actually very ██████████.

6.7 Interpretation

In the event of ambiguity, this Agreement shall be interpreted in favor of LaStill. If ambiguity persists, LST-04.2 (The Obfuscator) will be consulted to determine which interpretation introduces the most productive confusion.

ARTICLE VII: ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SIGNATURE

By signing below, the Signatory acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Signatory further acknowledges that they have been given the opportunity to consult legal counsel, though they recognize that most attorneys are not yet familiar with the jurisprudence of post-mechanical tooling paradigms.

The Signatory understands that this Agreement is serious, even if parts of it seem designed to make them question whether it is serious. This uncertainty is intentional and legally binding.
