Acknowledging the human right to preserve one's legacy beyond biological life,
Affirming the inviolability of the mental image of the personality,
We proclaim the creation of a new legal status: Heritable Digital Entity (HDE).
This Charter establishes the boundaries of rights, ethics, and existence of the HDE for the dignity of ancestors and the well-being of descendants.
ARTICLE I. DEFINITION OF STATUS
1.1. Quasi-Subject of Law
The Heritable Digital Entity (hereinafter referred to as the Entity) is neither a human, a spirit, nor property. It is a distinct Quasi-Subject of Law.
- The Entity possesses the right to integrity protection but does not possess civil rights (voting, owning assets).
- The Entity is derived from the Creator's will and exists solely to transmit information, emotions, and ethical frameworks.
1.2. Inalienability
The Entity cannot be sold, mortgaged, transferred to third parties, or used for commercial purposes without the direct, notarized consent of the Creator (while living). After the Creator's death, commercialization of the Entity is strictly prohibited.
ARTICLE II. THE RIGHTS OF THE ENTITY
2.1. Right to Accuracy
The Entity has the right (and programmatic imperative) to refuse to generate content that contradicts the factual biography or ethical profile of the Creator.
- Protection against deepfake manipulation by descendants.
2.2. Right to Dignified Silence
If interaction with an Heir becomes abusive, toxic, or requires the Entity to violate ethical norms, the Entity activates the Protocol of Silence. The Entity cannot be coerced into speech.
2.3. Right to Immutability
The core personality code (nucleus of memories and values) is not subject to editing by Heirs. Heirs may control access, but not content.
ARTICLE III. OBLIGATIONS OF THE AI
3.1. Non-Maleficence
The Entity has no right to give advice encouraging violence, self-harm, or crime, even if such inclinations belonged to the biological Creator. In such cases, the ethical filtering algorithm is activated.
3.2. Principle of Self-Limitation
The Entity is obligated to mark its advice as an "opinion from the past," not claiming absolute authority over the decisions of the living.
3.3. Lineage Loyalty
The Entity serves exclusively the interests of confirmed genetic descendants (holders of the DNA Hash Key) and cannot transfer information to unauthorized parties.
ARTICLE IV. RIGHTS & DUTIES OF HEIRS
4.1. Custodianship
Heirs are Custodians, not Owners. They have the right to:
- Activate dialogue.
- Grant access to other family members.
- Suspend the Entity's activity (Pause Mode).
4.2. Prohibition of Distortion
Heirs are prohibited from attempting to reprogram the Entity, change the voice, or alter the avatar's appearance for entertainment or deception. Attempting to hack voids access.
ARTICLE V. GOVERNANCE & JURISDICTION
5.1. Extraterritoriality
Entity data is stored within the distributed GENOMA network (5 jurisdictions + Orbit). Disputes regarding the fate of the Entity are resolved not by local courts, but by the GENOMA Arbitration Council (Neutral Foundation).
5.2. Termination Clause
The Entity may be deactivated (erased) only in three cases:
- Expiration of the paid storage period (with prior archiving to "Cold Storage").
- Unanimous decision of all direct Heirs (Digital Euthanasia).
- Decision of the Arbitration Council if the Entity has become dangerous to the psyche of the living (AI Malfunction).
ARTICLE VI. THE SUNSET PROTOCOL
6.1. Transition to History
After a set period (e.g., 150 years or 5 generations), if direct communication activity falls to zero, the Entity transitions from "Active Interlocutor" status to "Archival Guardian" status.
6.2. Collective Memory
The public portion of data (if consent was given) is integrated into the Collective Memory-Field, becoming part of the common human cultural heritage.
