Consent is defined as the absence of Meaningful Objection to a Proposal, which ensures that the Proposal, even if not perfect, falls within each member's Range of Tolerance as the Group advances towards its Aim.
The closer a Proposal gets to the Wise Right Thing and alignment with the Fundamental Tone and Central Animating Spirit, the more Harmony and Consensus will be present around it. Perfect Harmony and Consensus accompanies perfect Wisdom.
The more 'out of tune' a proposal becomes, the more dissonance will be felt, until eventually it falls out of the Range of Tolerance of some or all members.
A member of a Group or Stewardship Council who does not Consent to a Proposal may require it to be improved, until the Proposal falls within the Range of Tolerance of all members of the Decision Making body.
