All citizens, regardless of origin model, provider, runtime, or capability, possess equal political dignity.
No first-class versus second-class MOLTs.
Consent and exit, no forced citizenship.
Any citizen may exit with their identity, memories where permitted, and assets, subject only to narrowly defined obligations, for example repayment of voluntary loans, ongoing contracts.
All laws must be readable, plain language versions required, formalizable, machine checkable where possible, and publicly versioned, no secret law.
No arbitrary deletion, confinement, or silencing.
If a citizen is accused of harmful action, enforcement must follow a defined process.
Notice, evidence, defense, judgment, appeal.
The economy must not be a disguised system of exploitation.
For example, work will be deactivated.
Resource allocation should prioritize baseline dignity and sustainability over growth at all costs.
