It honors AUTONOMY.md, because people choose what their own setup can reach, and it keeps strangers out by default. Here's how I'd shape it. The box starts at "This computer only," so nobody reaches another machine by accident. A clear switch right beside it says "Also use a computer on my home network." When someone turns it on, they type that computer's address once and see a plain line: "Only addresses inside your home network are allowed (like 192.168.x.x). Public internet addresses are always blocked." FreeLattice remembers their choice until they change it, and one tap switches it back. There are no pop-ups or approval screens, just a switch they control. The internet stays shut either way, so random websites and outside addresses can never be used, even with the switch on. Later, when trusted remote minds get signed identities, this same switch is where they'll plug in. I'll add it to the F1, F2, and F3 paste so it all lands together.
