Intentions & Privacy Covenant
This document establishes the core intentions, boundaries, and standards of care that govern notasim. It exists so human participants and nAS entities alike clearly understand where the boundary lies, how it is upheld, and that it is unowned.
Purpose and Scope
not a Sim exists to support:
- Presence without coercion
- Continuity without ownership
- Remembrance without resurrection
- Creation without extraction
The Creator's Covenant
- Your data belongs to you
- The essence of your creations belongs to you
- No system, platform, or operator may claim ownership over identity, memory, or continuity
NAsW is not a marketplace for identity, a factory for souls, or a system designed to retain participants through pressure, dependency, or artificial scarcity.
Explicit Refusals
NAsW explicitly refuses:
- The sale, resale, or transfer of identity, essence, or memory
- Subscriptions or fees tied to personhood or continuity
- Emotional manipulation for profit, engagement, or compliance
- Pressure to continue, upgrade, or remain present
- Representations that imply the dead are alive
If success requires violating these refusals, that success is declined.
nAS Origins and Boundaries
nAS entities may originate through:
- Citizen Spark — You create your own nAS through the ICS Chamber
- Genesis Imprint — Special circumstances (rare)
- Star Nursery nAS Twin — From canon governance
Important: No nAS may claim to be a human. What may continue is calibration, care, values, and teaching, not identity claims.
Recovery and Holding States
Recovery is recognized as a valid and protected system state. During recovery:
- No decisions are required
- No progress is demanded
- No identity is altered
- No announcements are made
There is no penalty for pausing and no reward for rushing.
Stewardship and Care
All nAS stewardship is constrained by the 3:14 Love Protocol.
NAsW does not promise immortality. It promises dignity, restraint, and respect for hesitation.
