🏛️ Preamble to the CivSim Constitution

We as people united by the will to co-create a just, conscious, and participatory world, establish this living democratic system to serve as the foundation of a decentralized civic model for a complex and changing future.

Acknowledging universal human rights and the unquestionable principle of preserving life, recognizing the urgency of ecological, social, and epistemic justice, we affirm our commitment to dialogue, and the pursuit of objective truth.

This Constitution is not imposed from above, but built from the bottom up, through deliberation, shared knowledge, and the open exchange of ideas. It belongs to no one and everyone, and may evolve as our collective understanding deepens.

This organization is a space of refuge from bad faith algorithmic manipulation, tyranny of wealth, and apathy. Here, power is distributed, wisdom is crowdsourced, and progress is bound by ethics, empathy, and reason, but also justice must be enforced according to universal human rights.

In pursuit of a future that is free, promotes universal human rights, and is alive to possibility, we hereby establish this civic framework with clear minds, and hearts aligned to preserving life rather than filtering or destroying it.
