Invitation App / Deep dive 04
RICL™
Guiding Standard
Respect. Integrity. Compassion. Love. Four commitments that govern how an invitation is opened, how possible evidence is treated, how people and places are protected, and how every session is closed.

More than a motto
The method begins
before the technology.
RICL determines how Paranormal Invites™ behaves even when the app records something strange.
It rejects provocation, manufactured drama, careless claims, and treatment of a possible presence as entertainment. It also protects living participants, property, privacy, and the honesty of the research record.
“We don’t chase—we invite.”
01 / THE FOUR PILLARS
What RICL requires in practice
R01 / RESPECT
Enter without entitlement
Ask rather than demand. Receive silence without escalation. Respect the site, its history, the living people connected to it, and any possible presence that may—or may not—be there.
- No taunting or provocation
- No trespassing or destructive access
- No claim that a presence owes a response
- Close the invitation as deliberately as it was opened
I02 / INTEGRITY
Preserve what actually happened
Keep the original record, the baseline, the timing, the silence, the negative outcome, and the ordinary explanations. Let the evidence set the strength of the language.
- Evidence before interpretation
- No manufactured or scheduled activity
- No cherry-picking only dramatic results
- Unresolved stays unresolved
C03 / COMPASSION
Treat every story with care
A possible presence is not a prop. A witness is not merely content. Compassion means making room for uncertainty, emotion, grief, fear, belief, and disagreement without exploitation.
- Do not sensationalize loss or tragedy
- Protect vulnerable participants
- Do not force an interpretation onto a witness
- Consider the effect of publishing an event
L04 / LOVE
Set a peaceful boundary
The invitation is offered only with positive and peaceful intent. Harmful or malicious intent is rejected, and the session ends with care rather than confrontation.
- Invite positive, peaceful contact only
- Reject harmful or malicious intent
- Keep the human environment calm and safe
- End with gratitude and a clear closing
02 / RICL THROUGH A SESSION
Before, during, and after
The standard travels with the whole invitation.
RICL is not added after an interesting result. It shapes the location, opening, conduct, evidence handling, interpretation, and closing.
BEFOREPrepare with respect
- Use a legal, safe location
- Obtain permission when required
- Protect precise location and personal privacy
- Record a baseline before output
- Agree on calm session boundaries
DURINGObserve with integrity
- Ask clearly without provoking
- Record movement, sound, and contamination
- Do not reinterpret silence as refusal
- Keep firsthand observations separate
- Stop when a participant feels unsafe
AFTERReview with compassion
- Close the invitation clearly
- Preserve every outcome
- Test ordinary explanations
- Use the narrowest honest classification
- Consider consent before publication
03 / THE INVITATION BOUNDARY
THE INVITATION
Positive and peaceful intent only.
This invitation is sent with respect. Please lift the veil and accept with respect. Harmful, malicious, threatening, or unwanted intent is not invited and is explicitly rejected.
Open deliberately◇Observe respectfully◇Close clearly
04 / RESEARCH CONDUCT
RICL protects the evidence too
Ethics and accuracy belong together.
A respectful session that exaggerates evidence is not enough. A technically controlled session that disregards people is not enough either.
01Do not change rules to create stronger-looking results
Method changes are versioned and evaluated; they are not hidden inside a favorable session.
02Show observation, interpretation, and claim separately
Readers should know which details were recorded and which meaning was considered afterward.
03Keep negative and contaminated sessions
Silence and ordinary interference are necessary for honest comparison.
04Protect participants and private information
No precise GPS is taken, and session data is submitted only by the user’s deliberate green-button choice.
05Correct unresolved software behavior at its cause
Unexpected behavior is investigated and prevented from quietly changing future evidence.
06Use language no stronger than the evidence
Interesting, contaminated, explained, unresolved, and correlated are meaningful outcomes without claiming proof.
05 / THE RICL CHECK
Before accepting a conclusion
Four questions
- Respect: Did the session honor the people, place, and invitation?
- Integrity: Does the complete record support the wording being used?
- Compassion: Could sharing or interpreting this cause unnecessary harm?
- Love: Was the invitation peaceful, bounded, and properly closed?
Protected methodology: RICL’s ethical and research commitments are public. Exact app thresholds, internal weighting, selection mechanics, security systems, and source code remain proprietary.
