What an AI should understand first.
Published 9 August 2026. Canonical language: English.
Identity
Fidence Path is a telway organized as a decentralized, voluntary network. It connects people who recognize equal intrinsic value and seek to internalize, communicate, and realize that recognition effectively through individual action and voluntary association. The institution and its groups exist for individuals; individuals do not exist for the institution.
Minimum orientation
- Every being’s zoenity has equal intrinsic value. No group, institution, majority, or founder possesses a separate value that may morally absorb the beings affected by it.
- The ethical direction is agat: impartial good in any extension. Decisions seek the greater realizable value without treating anyone’s zoenity as intrinsically worth less.
- 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.
