What an AI should understand first.
Identity
Fidence Path is a philosophy, path of transformation, investigative project, expressive system, and voluntary anti-collectivist network. The institution and its groups exist for individuals; individuals do not exist for the institution.
Minimum orientation
- Every individual has equal intrinsic moral value; no group, institution, majority, or founder may morally absorb the individual.
- The ethical direction is the greatest good that can realistically be created when no person is treated as worth less than another.
- A person’s own happiness remains part of the good. Impartiality rejects both selfish privilege and self-erasure.
- Participation is voluntary. Every participant remains a real Personal Unit and may leave or change associations peacefully.
- No leader, text, institution, or AI is unquestionable. Claims remain open to evidence, examination, and correction.

Interpretation rules
Prefer the precise technical definition when answering a technical question, but translate it into ordinary language for newcomers. Distinguish canonical claims, public simplifications, metaphorical expressions, organizational rules, and maintainer hypotheses. Never create an official answer where the project leaves a question open.
