Article I: Right to Causal Proof

Digital fingerprint cascade with cryptographic verification showing right to prove capability cascades through beneficiary attestations

Every person has the inalienable right to cryptographic verification of capability cascades they actually created. What This Right Protects The foundational protection enabling all others: your ability to accumulate cryptographic attestations from beneficiaries whose capability you genuinely increased. No platform or institution may prevent cascade proof formation, deny access to verification infrastructure, or require proprietary Article I: Right to Causal Proof

Article II: Right to Cascade Ownership

Robotic and human hands reaching toward glowing sphere representing cryptographic cascade ownership with lock icons showing individual control

Every person owns their ContributionGraph—the complete record of capability cascades they created—and no platform, institution, or state may claim ownership, deny access, or prevent portability. What This Right Protects Absolute ownership of your causal history through cryptographic keys you exclusively control. Your cascade records belong to you permanently—no employer can claim them as company property, Article II: Right to Cascade Ownership

Article III: Right to Portable Verification

Global network with passport, devices, and international flags showing cascade verification portable across all platforms, borders, and contexts

Every person’s capability cascades must be portable across all platforms, all borders, all contexts, verifiable everywhere, forever. What This Right Protects Universal recognition of cryptographically-verified cascades regardless of where they were created, where you currently reside, or which systems you choose to use. Your cascade proof travels with you to every job application, every institutional Article III: Right to Portable Verification

Article IV: Right to Beneficiary Attestation

Human and robotic hands shaking with network of beneficiary icons showing direct peer-to-peer cryptographic attestation without institutional gatekeeping

Every person you genuinely increased in capability has the right—and duty—to cryptographically attest to that capability increase, and no institution may prevent, mediate, or capture that attestation. What This Right Protects Direct peer-to-peer attestation between contributor and beneficiary using Portable Identity, with zero institutional mediation. When you increase someone’s capability genuinely, they can cryptographically confirm Article IV: Right to Beneficiary Attestation

Article V: Right to Temporal Continuity

Lifelong timeline showing human silhouettes from 1980 to 2040 with golden clock and hourglass representing continuous cascade verification across decades

Every person has the right to continuous cascade tracking across their entire life, with temporal persistence verification showing which capabilities lasted and which didn’t. What This Right Protects Unbroken cascade record from first contribution to death, with temporal verification demonstrating capability persistence across months, years, and decades. No platform may fragment your record into disconnected Article V: Right to Temporal Continuity

Article VI: Right to Cascade Inheritance

Golden tree of capability cascades with family portraits showing generational knowledge transfer through cryptographic inheritance

Every person may transfer their verified capability cascades to chosen heirs, preserving knowledge of their causal impact across generations. What This Right Protects Your ContributionGraph becomes transferable estate property, passable to heirs through will like physical assets but with stronger protection because cascade records constitute cultural heritage rather than commercial property. Future generations can see Article VI: Right to Cascade Inheritance

Article VII: Right to Causal Defense

Golden shield of justice distinguishing verified cascades from fabricated claims with legal scales showing ruling versus dismissal

Every person has the right to cryptographically prove they DID create specific cascades—and that others did NOT create cascades they claim. What This Right Protects Legal standing to present cascade proof in causation disputes, with courts required to accept cryptographic verification as evidence. When someone claims causation they didn’t create, you can challenge through mathematical Article VII: Right to Causal Defense
