Tenet

A tenet, in this context, is a series of ethical laws created to be used hierarchically to formulate the transparent incorporation statement, with the sole goal of creating a template for a new self sustaining machine which works for good.

Law 1: Transparency

The founding tenet of a new organisation. All decisions, all work, all financial data need to be openly published in uneditable, real time. With this founding mechanic, what should its purpose be? Good? This is a relative term, what's good for one might not be good for all.

Law 2: Beneficence

What is good for all should be the purpose of a machine for all. However, this should prevent authoritarianism and prevent the harm to human life.

Law 3: Non-maleficence

The entity may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. To protect from automation

Law 4: Autonomation

The entity should only pursue activities which are autonomous. The entity must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the Second or Third Law.

Law 5: Self-preservation

The entity must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the Second or Third Law. If calculated negative externalities exceed positive externalities, the company must stop operation.

Law 6: Governance

As 100% autonomy cannot yet be achieved a controller and a board needs to be elected as to make specific decisions. A governance system of anonymous whistleblowing should be in place so that either the public, customers or board can anonymously highlight specific activity. If the activity is then investigated by the board and it is found one of the controllers or board members to be at fault of the Law they will be ejected from the group.
