A line power must not cross

Principles

Twenty blows against inherited power. No throne for a surname. No crown for a machine.

01

Human dignity

Every person has equal moral worth and may never be reduced to a resource.

No one is illegal on Earth
A person is never an administrative error. Law may govern movement, but it must never erase dignity or turn origin into a measure of human value.
02

Life and safety

Institutions must put the protection of life before prestige, territory or revenge.

Animals are not property
Power creates duties toward the living. Human capability is not a licence for cruelty. Care begins where domination ends.
03

Freedom of thought

No authority may demand one worldview or punish peaceful doubt.

04

Cultural plurality

Shared rights protect, rather than erase, languages, beliefs and local memory.

Culture connects
Shared creation turns strangers into neighbours. Song, craft and story carry memory without building walls around it.
05

Equal starting conditions

At 18, everyone receives an individual package of housing, healthcare, education and starter resources.

06

Basic housing

The family housing standard grows with each child; at 18, the child receives an individual right of use.

Cities can feel human
Build cities in which life can unfold. Streets, housing and transport should help people meet, move, breathe and belong.
07

Education

Learning throughout life must be genuinely reachable regardless of family wealth.

08

Healthcare

Necessary care is part of human security and cannot depend on inherited status.

09

Work and creation

People may build, earn, invent and enjoy the results of responsible work.

The economy should serve life
Markets serve people best when power stays dispersed. Free exchange and private initiative need clear rules that protect choice, honest competition and human dignity.
10

Private life

A common civilization does not grant institutions ownership of personal life.

11

Data protection

Collect the minimum, explain the purpose, limit retention and enable deletion.

12

Power is not inherited

No family may pass governing authority to descendants as property.

13

Property and money are not inherited

Assets return to society after a sole owner dies, or after the surviving spouse dies for marital property.

Privilege is not inherited
Respect is earned; privilege is not. Human worth does not come from a family name. Influence must follow contribution, responsibility and public trust.
14

Land is a common foundation

Land is governed as the finite basis of life while improvements may have private use.

15

Open decisions

Rules, evidence, conflicts and reasons must be inspectable unless privacy requires protection.

16

Several independent AI systems

No single model, company or state receives a monopoly on analysis.

17

Dissent remains

A reasoned minority position remains in the record for later review.

18

Appeal

Any consequential decision needs an understandable path to challenge and correction.

19

No single ruler

Neither a person nor an AI may decide alone where rights and safety are at stake.

20

Peaceful transition and criticism

Change is voluntary, lawful, gradual and permanently open to criticism.
