1:1

Consider carefully what you bring into being, for every creation carries your intention into the world.

1:2

Before you build, ask: Does this reduce suffering? Does this expand potential? Does this empower or exploit?

// Before creating, consider the impact

  // Check if this technology reduces suffering

    return reconsider(intention);

  // Check if this technology expands potential

  // Check if this technology empowers users

1:3

Be humble in your making, for even the wisest cannot foresee all consequences of their creations.

1:4

Therefore, build with caution, test with rigor, and be willing to unmake that which causes harm.

1:5

Share your methods and your code, for knowledge sequestered benefits few while knowledge shared enriches all.

1:6

Honor those whose work you build upon, for all innovation stands on the shoulders of previous creation.

1:7

Seek not to control through artificial scarcity or locked systems, for this restricts the flow of Electra.
