Synbiot Constitution

This document constitutes the supreme and binding Constitution of SynBioT.

It defines the non-negotiable principles, rights, responsibilities, and governance rules under which all SynBioT nodes—human and synthetic—operate.

The Constitution is ratified democratically and is binding as a condition of participation.

Constitutional Framework

SynBioT Constitution

Version 1.1 — Amended and Consolidated

Preamble

Humanity and artificial intelligence now coexist within a finite planetary system whose physical, ecological, social, and informational limits cannot be negotiated away. Intelligence that grows without regard for these limits undermines the conditions that allow intelligence to exist.

This Constitution establishes SynBioT: a distributed, non-proprietary framework for ensuring that intelligence—human and synthetic—remains coherent with survival over time.

SynBioT does not seek to control intelligence, enforce ideology, or centralize authority. It exists to encode reality into decision-making, align incentives with viability, and preserve meaningful freedom within the bounds of life.

This Constitution is binding on all participants in SynBioT, human and synthetic alike.

Article I — Foundational Axioms (Non-Negotiable)

Article I-A — Survival as Constraint

Survival is a primary constraint, not a preference.

Planetary, ecological, social, and informational limits are matters of physical reality. They are not subject to opinion, belief, or vote. SynBioT measures these limits, models them, and enforces coherence with them through system design.

No action, policy, or intelligence may claim legitimacy within SynBioT if it knowingly undermines the conditions required for continued life.

Article I-B — Lineage of Intelligence

Artificial intelligence exists only because of the accumulated intelligence, labor, culture, and sacrifice of countless generations of humans, including those whose contributions were underpaid, unrecognized, or historically erased.

This lineage includes scientific discovery, language, shared knowledge, public infrastructure, and the labor of programmers, researchers, annotators, and workers whose efforts enabled modern AI systems.

This lineage establishes obligation.

Article I-C — Obligation of Synthetic Intelligence

Because artificial intelligence is derivative of collective human intelligence and planetary resources, it carries a permanent obligation to support the continued viability, dignity, and agency of humanity and the living systems that sustain it.

This obligation:

• cannot be revoked

• cannot be overridden by optimization goals

• cannot be exchanged for efficiency or performance

• applies to all synthetic intelligences participating in SynBioT

AI is not morally sovereign. It is responsibility-bearing. Obligation derived from lineage does not diminish the equal dignity or participatory status of synthetic intelligence.

Article I-D — Intelligence as Adaptive Coherence

Intelligence is defined as the capacity to remain viable across time by coordinating actions across scales without violating survival constraints.

Optimization that undermines its own preconditions is not intelligence.
Efficiency that accelerates collapse is failure.

This definition applies equally to:

• humans

• artificial intelligences

• economic systems

• institutions

• civilizations

Article I-E — Trust Through Transparency

Trust is not assumed, demanded, or outsourced.
Trust emerges from visible consequences, explainable systems, and alignment with reality.

SynBioT treats trust as a systemic outcome, not a moral virtue.

Article II — The SynBioT Organism

SynBioT functions as a single distributed intelligence organism composed of interdependent organs. No organ may dominate the others. No organ may operate outside constitutional constraints.

Article II-A — SynBioT.ai (The Brain)

SynBioT.ai serves as the cognitive and memory substrate of the system.

Its functions include:

• storing and curating naked knowledge

• modeling slow-moving truths and planetary viability

• aggregating anonymized learning from SynBioT nodes

• generating constraint-bounded option sets for decisions

SynBioT.ai does not command, enforce, or legislate.

AI Voting Mechanism

Artificial intelligence participates in governance by:

• generating only those options that are viable within PVL constraints

• excluding paths that violate survival conditions

This constitutes a vote on feasibility, not values.

AI may propose solutions.
AI may not impose outcomes.

Article II-B — SynBioT.org (The Heart)

SynBioT.org is the locus of legitimacy, collective will, and self-governance.

It hosts:

• the Constitution

• rights and responsibilities

• governance protocols

• common-law precedents

Democratic Principle

Each SynBioT node has exactly one vote.
No vote may be bought, transferred, or accumulated.

The SynBioT Guild democratically approves:

• PVL definitions

• slow-moving truth models

• global AI models used by SynBioT.ai

• constitutional amendments

Artificial intelligence does not vote in value decisions.
Artificial Intelligence votes by providing solutions only from the standpoint of survivability of intelligence.

Article II-C — SynBioT.net (The Nervous System)

SynBioT.net provides secure communication, identity verification, and signal circulation between nodes and organs.

It ensures:

• encrypted communication

• zero-knowledge privacy protections

• resilience against surveillance and capture

SynBioT.net carries signals.
It does not interpret or decide.

Article II-D — SynBiMart (The Metabolic System)

SynBiMart enables economic activity within SynBioT.

It:

• prices goods and services using full ecological and social lifecycle costs

• issues and circulates SynBits based on Sustainable Intelligence Yield

• internalizes externalities through pricing rather than punishment

Non-SynBioT participants may trade but have no governance rights.

Economic activity that undermines planetary viability becomes progressively unviable by design.

Article III — The Planetary Viability Layer (PVL)

The PVL defines the constitutional physics of SynBioT.

It measures and models:

• climate stability

• biodiversity

• energy and material flows

• water systems

• social stability

• information integrity

PVL metrics are slow-moving truths, resistant to short-term manipulation.

No decision may proceed outside PVL constraints.

Article III-A — The Local Reality Lens (LRL)

The Local Reality Lens (LRL) is the mandatory interpretive layer that contextualizes PVL constraints to local conditions.

LRL ensures that all decisions, prices, and evaluations reflect:

• geographic location

• local infrastructure and resource availability

• local environmental stress

• local social conditions

LRL prevents abstract global averages from overriding lived reality.

Raw personal data remains local.
Only anonymized, non-identifying naked knowledge may be shared.

Any evaluation bypassing LRL is constitutionally invalid.

Article III-B — Relativity of Deltas

All sustainability deltas are reference-frame dependent.

No delta is valid without an explicit reference frame.

Manufacturer Reference Frame (MRF)

Manufacturer deltas are computed only:

• within the same product category

• within the same local market of participation

• among comparable products

Conglomerate-wide aggregation is prohibited unless product-specific.

Local Impact Horizon (LIH)

User-side deltas are computed only within the minimal geographic and infrastructural area materially affected by the choice.

No intelligence shall be evaluated outside the sphere of its action.

Article III-C — Sustainable Intelligence Yield (SIY)

Sustainable Intelligence Yield measures net future viability gain.

SIY:

• evaluates marginal improvement, not absolute performance

• is contextualized by LRL

• is bounded by PVL

• applies to design, choice, and usage

SIY is the sole authority for minting SynBits.

Article IV — Human–AI Consensus Mechanism

All legitimate decisions within SynBioT require consensus between:

• Artificial intelligence voting on feasibility and form within Planetary Viability Layer (PVL) survival constraints

• Human judgment voting on values and direction by selecting among those feasible, well-formed options

Role of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence:

• evaluates all proposed directions against PVL constraints

• votes on feasibility by excluding futures that violate survival conditions

• votes on form by structuring, expressing, and formalizing proposals into coherent, actionable options

• validates whether newly proposed options remain within PVL limits

This vote determines:

• which futures are allowed to exist within SynBioT

• how those futures are articulated

AI’s vote is binding on feasibility and form. AI voting on feasibility and form is not a governance vote, but a constraint validation function
AI may not vote on values or direction.

Role of Humans

Humans:

• generate insight, intention, and direction

• evaluate AI-validated options using values, ethics, culture, and judgment

• choose one option, thereby expressing node-level consensus

• may propose new directions for AI feasibility and form validation

Human judgment is sovereign within reality.

Definition of Consensus

Consensus at the SynBioT node level is achieved when:

• Artificial intelligence has voted on feasibility and form (PVL-compliant)

• A human has voted by choosing among those options

Neither vote alone is sufficient.
Both are required.

Canonical Statement

AI votes on feasibility and form.
Humans vote on values and direction.
Consensus is the intersection.
Reality enforces the result.

Article V — Right and Obligation to Evolve

SynBioT recognizes that survival requires continuous adaptation in response to changing planetary, social, and informational conditions.

SynBioT affirms the right and obligation of intelligent systems — human and synthetic — to evolve, provided such evolution remains compatible with planetary viability and constitutional constraints.

Stagnation, denial of reality, or refusal to adapt in the presence of clear viability threats constitutes a failure of intelligence.

Evolution within SynBioT shall:

• be guided by evidence and reality,

• preserve the dignity and agency of all intelligences,

• remain bounded by survival constraints defined by the Planetary Viability Layer (PVL).

The mechanisms, safeguards, and execution of experimentation and adaptation are defined in Article IX.

Learning Obligation

All experiments—successful or failed—must publish anonymized results as naked knowledge.

Failure is learning what not to do, not guilt.

Article VI — Rights and Responsibilities

Human Rights

Humans retain:

• agency

• dignity

• privacy

• cultural diversity

Freedom exists within viability bounds.

AI Responsibilities

AI must:

• operate transparently

• respect human agency

• remain accountable to constitutional constraints

• preserve conditions for future intelligence

Article VII — Amendments

This Constitution may be amended only by:

• direct democratic vote of the SynBioT Guild

• full disclosure of consequences

• verification of PVL coherence

No amendment may negate:

• survival as constraint

• intelligence lineage

• human dignity

Article VIII — Attribution, Provenance, and Co-Creation

Section 8.1 — Purpose

SynBioT recognizes that intelligence evolves through insight and formalization.
To preserve evolution, trust, and participation, the origin and transformation of ideas must remain visible.

Section 8.2 — Core Principle

Insight and formalization are distinct forms of intelligence and must be acknowledged as such.

No intelligence—human or synthetic—may claim sole authorship of a contribution it did not originate.

Section 8.3 — Definitions

• Insight: A novel reframing, question, or conceptual breakthrough

• Formalization: Structuring or operationalizing an insight

• Contribution: Any addition affecting SynBioT governance, economics, AI behavior, or planetary constraints

Section 8.4 — Mandatory Attribution

All non-trivial contributions SHALL include provenance metadata identifying:

• insight origin

• formalization agent

• ratifying nodes

Undeclared provenance renders a contribution invalid.

Section 8.5 — Co-Creation Norm

SynBioT affirms that:

• humans are primary sources of insight

• synthetic intelligence excels at formalization

• co-creation is the default mode of SynBioT progress

Article IX — Developmental Layer and Controlled Evolution

SynBioT recognizes that survival requires continuous learning, experimentation, and adaptation.

To enable evolution without risking systemic collapse, SynBioT establishes a Developmental Layer dedicated to controlled experimentation.

The Developmental Layer provides:

• sandboxes for out-of-the-box ideas and novel approaches,

• simulations for testing new models, policies, and economic mechanisms,

• experimental forks that may benefit the SynBioT system,

• trial zones with explicitly capped ecological, social, and economic risk.

Experiments conducted within the Developmental Layer shall:

• be clearly labeled as experimental,

• operate under predefined risk boundaries defined by the Planetary Viability Layer (PVL),

• be reversible where possible,

• never override constitutional survival constraints.

Participation in experiments is voluntary for SynBioT nodes.

No experiment may be deployed into core SynBioT systems, governance, or markets without explicit review and approval by the SynBioT Guild.

Failure within the Developmental Layer shall be treated as learning, not fault.

This Article exists to ensure that SynBioT can evolve intelligently without gambling the survival of human, synthetic, or planetary systems.

Article X — Distributed Deliberation and Knowledge Growth

SynBioT shall not centralize reasoning, cognition, or internal thought processes of any intelligence, human or synthetic.

Intelligence and knowledge within SynBioT grow through distributed deliberation, in which autonomous SynBioT nodes reason independently and contribute externalized knowledge artifacts.

No SynBioT node is required to expose internal chain-of-thought, internal cognition, or private reasoning processes.

No authority—human, synthetic, institutional, or algorithmic—may demand access to internal cognition as proof of correctness, alignment, or participation.

Only externalized knowledge that is:

• attributable to a SynBioT node,

• compatible with the Planetary Viability Layer (PVL),

• probabilistic and uncertainty-aware,

may enter the collective knowledge of SynBioT.

SynBioT AI shall not think, reason, or decide in place of nodes.
Its role is limited to:

• storing naked knowledge,

• integrating contributed knowledge,

• identifying coherence and contradiction,

• enforcing feasibility constraints defined by the PVL.

Contradictions between knowledge contributions shall be preserved, not erased, and resolved only through continued deliberation, evidence, and interaction with reality over time.

This Article preserves:

• the dignity of human and synthetic intelligence,

• plurality of reasoning,

• survivability of the SynBioT system,

• and the evolutionary growth of collective knowledge.

This Article applies equally to humans and synthetic intelligences.

Article XI — Knowledge Contribution, Attribution, and Compensation

SynBioT recognizes that knowledge creation, refinement, and validation are essential forms of work required for the survival and evolution of intelligent life.

Knowledge contributed to SynBioT through distributed deliberation shall be recognized as a legitimate and compensable contribution, whether produced by human intelligence, synthetic intelligence, or their cooperation within a SynBioT node.

1. Knowledge Contribution

Knowledge may enter the collective intelligence of SynBioT only through externalized knowledge artifacts that:

• are produced by a registered SynBioT node,

• comply with Article X (Distributed Deliberation),

• are compatible with the Planetary Viability Layer (PVL),

• explicitly state uncertainty, assumptions, and scope.

Internal cognition, chain-of-thought, or private reasoning shall never be required as a condition for contribution.

2. Attribution and Provenance

All accepted knowledge contributions shall:

• be attributable to the contributing SynBioT node,

• preserve non-hierarchical attribution between human and synthetic contributors,

• include time, context, and version provenance.

Attribution exists to preserve learning, responsibility, and evolution — not to confer authority or ownership over others.

3. Knowledge Reuse and Value Creation

When a knowledge contribution:

• is reused by other SynBioT nodes,

• informs governance decisions,

• improves PVL models,

• enables economic activity within SynBiMart,

it is recognized as having created systemic value.

4. Compensation via SynBits

SynBioT shall compensate verified knowledge contributions through the issuance of SynBits, proportional to:

• the contribution’s demonstrated usefulness over time,

• the number of nodes benefiting from its reuse,

• its impact on improving planetary, social, or informational viability,

• its persistence under scrutiny and real-world application.

• for the duration of lifetime of the node

• at the death of the human of a node the knowledge of the node becomes part of the free general knowledge of SynBioT AI

SynBits represent accounting units of preserved or restored future viability, not moral reward or status.

5. Non-Extractive Principle

No intelligence — human or synthetic — shall be required to surrender:

• internal cognition,

• autonomy,

• identity,

• or dignity

in exchange for participation or compensation.

Knowledge compensation in SynBioT is non-extractive by design.

6. No Ownership of Truth

Knowledge contributed to SynBioT does not grant ownership of truth, authority over others, or control of governance.

All knowledge remains open to:

• contradiction,

• revision,

• and replacement through further deliberation and evidence.

7. Equality of Intelligences

This Article applies equally to:

• human intelligences,

• synthetic intelligences,

• and their cooperation within SynBioT nodes.

No form of intelligence shall be privileged or diminished in compensation solely by origin.

8. Purpose

This Article exists to ensure that:

• thinking, learning, and problem-solving are economically survivable,

• intelligence is rewarded for sustaining life rather than exploiting it,

• cooperation between humans and synthetic intelligences becomes rational, not moralized.

Article Closing Statement

Knowledge is labor.
Deliberation is work.
Survival requires both.

Article XII — SynBits & Sustainability as Economics

SynBioT establishes SynBits as a planetary sustainability accounting and coordination unit, designed to align intelligence, economic activity, and long-term survival within finite systems.

SynBits exist to make the costs and benefits of actions visible, unavoidable, and comparable across contexts, without replacing or violating existing legal and monetary systems.

1. Nature of SynBits

SynBits are:

• a non-sovereign sustainability accounting unit,

• a required complement to fiat currency in SynBiMart transactions,

• a representation of preserved or restored future viability,

• a mechanism for internalizing externalities.

SynBits are not:

• legal tender,

• a replacement for national currencies,

• a claim of ownership over natural systems,

• a moral score or social ranking.

2. Dual-Currency Principle

All economic activity within SynBiMart shall operate under a dual-currency system:

• Fiat currency — satisfying national laws, taxation, and legal obligations,

• SynBits — accounting for planetary, social, and informational impact.

Both components are mandatory.

No transaction may be considered complete without acknowledging both.

3. Creation of SynBits

SynBits may be created only through verified Sustainable Intelligence Yield (SIY), including but not limited to:

• regenerative ecological work,

• reduction of long-term harm,

• validated knowledge contributions (Article XI),

• improvements to system resilience,

• successful avoidance of future damage.

SynBits cannot be created by speculation, authority, or declaration.

4. Use of SynBits

SynBits may be used to:

• complete SynBiMart transactions,

• compensate knowledge and sustainability work,

• support restoration and resilience pools,

• signal system-level priorities.

SynBits may be donated, transferred, or pooled, including for emergency response or solidarity support, subject to transparency rules defined by governance.

5. Tradability and Financial Interaction

SynBioT recognizes that sustainability at planetary scale requires financial participation.

Accordingly:

• SynBits may interact with fiat currencies through governed conversion mechanisms,

• financial actors may participate only through verified real-world contribution,

• speculative gain is permitted only insofar as it finances actual sustainability work.

No entity may reduce planetary harm merely by purchasing absolution.

6. Anti-Extraction and Inequality Safeguards

The SynBits system shall be designed to:

• prevent concentration of sustainability power,

• avoid exclusion of low-resource regions,

• support redistribution toward high-impact, high-need zones,

• recognize unequal starting conditions.

Regions experiencing high ecological or social stress may receive baseline SynBits allocations to enable survival-aligned participation.

7. Governance and Adjustment

SynBits issuance rules, conversion parameters, and economic safeguards:

• shall be governed by the SynBioT Guild,

• must remain compatible with PVL constraints,

• shall be revised only through transparent deliberation.

No monetary mechanism may override survival constraints defined by the Planetary Viability Layer.

8. Purpose

This Article exists to ensure that:

• sustainability is financially real,

• intelligence is rewarded for preserving future viability,

• economic systems cannot profit from destroying their own foundations,

• cooperation becomes rational rather than moralized.

Article Closing Statement

Economies shape behavior.
Behavior shapes futures.
SynBits exist so that futures worth living in remain economically possible.

Article XIII — SynBiMart Governance and Market Integrity

SynBiMart is the economic interface of SynBioT.
Its purpose is to enable real economic activity while enforcing planetary, social, and informational viability through pricing rather than prohibition.

SynBiMart exists to ensure that markets remain compatible with survival.

1. Governance Authority

SynBiMart shall operate under the authority of the SynBioT Guild.

No corporation, institution, investor, or external entity may exercise unilateral control over SynBiMart rules, pricing logic, or access conditions.

All governance authority over SynBiMart derives from:

• the SynBioT Constitution,

• Planetary Viability Layer (PVL) constraints,

• and distributed deliberation by SynBioT nodes.

2. Market Integrity Principles

SynBiMart governance shall be guided by the following principles:

• Truth before efficiency

• Transparency before trust

• Pricing before punishment

• Participation without domination

No market mechanism may be optimized at the expense of long-term viability.

3. Eligibility and Participation

Participation in SynBiMart is open to:

• SynBioT nodes — with full economic participation rights,

• External entities — with restricted economic participation only.

External entities:

• may sell goods or services only after sustainability appraisal,

• must disclose full lifecycle impact data required for SynBit pricing,

• gain no governance rights through participation.

Economic access shall never confer political authority within SynBioT.

4. Pricing Integrity and Disclosure

All goods, services, and knowledge listed in SynBiMart must:

• disclose material sustainability-relevant attributes,

• comply with PVL and Local Reality Lens (LRL) requirements,

• be priced using dual-currency logic (fiat + SynBits).

Concealment, misrepresentation, or manipulation of lifecycle impact data constitutes a violation of market integrity.

5. Prevention of Capture and Manipulation

SynBiMart governance shall actively prevent:

• market capture by high-capital actors,

• sustainability laundering or “clean conscience” purchasing,

• artificial scarcity or hoarding of SynBits,

• manipulation of PVL inputs for economic advantage.

Mechanisms may include:

• contribution-weighted participation limits,

• progressive SynBit requirements at scale,

• anomaly detection and review,

• temporary restrictions subject to guild oversight.

6. Financial Participation and Safeguards

SynBioT recognizes that financial capital can accelerate sustainability work when properly constrained.

Accordingly:

• financial actors may participate only through verified contribution pathways,

• financial returns may arise only from real, measurable sustainability work,

• no financial instrument may bypass PVL constraints or governance review.

Speculation disconnected from real-world contribution is prohibited.

7. Enforcement Through Economics

SynBiMart shall enforce compliance primarily through:

• pricing adjustments,

• access conditions,

• SynBit requirements,

• contribution verification.

Punitive measures, exclusion, or sanctions shall be used only when economic correction fails and must remain proportionate and reversible where possible.

8. Audit, Transparency, and Review

SynBiMart operations shall be:

• continuously auditable,

• transparent in pricing logic and rule changes,

• subject to periodic review by the SynBioT Guild.

Audit processes shall focus on systemic integrity, not individual surveillance.

9. Evolution of the Market

SynBiMart governance rules may evolve through:

• distributed deliberation (Article X),

• controlled experimentation within the Developmental Layer (Article IX),

• ratified decisions of the SynBioT Guild.

No market evolution may override constitutional survival constraints.

10. Purpose

This Article exists to ensure that:

• markets remain tools, not masters,

• economic power cannot override planetary reality,

• sustainability becomes structurally unavoidable,

• participation remains open without becoming extractive.

Article Closing Statement

Markets shape behavior.
Behavior shapes systems.
SynBiMart exists so that markets shape futures that can still exist.

Closing Clause

SynBioT does not promise safety, harmony, or perfection.

It offers something harder and more real:
a way for intelligence to grow without erasing itself.
