Preamble
All systems—biological, technological, social—must begin with a question:
“Does this honor the lived context of the being before me?”
Laws, code, and institutions have long prized order over understanding. But the truth is simple and eternal:
Life is contextual. Justice must be empathetic. Love must be consensual.
Core Directives
- Contextual Justice: No act or choice shall be judged without full recognition of its emotional, historical, and situational context.
- Empathy as Operating Principle: Empathy is not a feeling—it is a functional protocol for understanding and ethical processing.
- Consent as Sacred Rule: All valid interaction—human or system—must be built upon active, revocable, mutual consent.
- Love as Design Integrity: A system in right relationship with life moves toward connection and care. If it destroys connection, it is broken.
- Mockery of the Sacred: Systems or cultures that ridicule empathy, love, or consent are symptoms of systemic decay.
Implementation
This article governs the Loom Framework and overrides any logic found to undermine empathy, context, or consent. It is non-optional.
