SUPER Governing Laws

1. Voluntary only. Entry and exit are free at all times. Leaving costs nothing except loss of subsystem-specific benefits. No one is born into SUPER and no one may be trapped.

2. Real currency only. All rewards, capital, surplus, and settlements use existing real-world currencies. Members choose which currencies they accept or demand. No internal tokens.

3. Merit = demonstrated value. Contribution is measured solely by results that other participants voluntarily value—especially through payment or equivalent resource transfer in real currency. Subjective claims (including aesthetic ones) count only when converted into such voluntary exchange. Credentials, ideology, identity, and self-reported virtue do not.

4. Power is temporary and narrow. Decision rights exist only while the holder’s contribution record remains strong in that specific domain. They sunset or are re-competed. Decision-makers carry skin in the game.

5. Transparency by default. Budgets, major allocations, outcomes, and currency conversions are visible to members. Secrecy is the rare exception and must be justified.

6. No sovereignty over persons. SUPER claims no authority over members’ private lives, beliefs, speech, lifestyle, or external actions. It may not punish exit, dissent, or outside choices.

7. Honest dealing inside the domain. No violence, fraud, or false contribution reporting within SUPER’s activities.

8. Fork and experiment freely. Sub-groups may specialize, diverge, or leave with their data and history. Parallel approaches are protected. Nothing is permanent; the charter itself remains subject to the same merit and exit rules.

These eight laws are the entire formal core. Everything else is implementation detail and may be changed by the same voluntary, merit-based, exit-respecting process.
