10 An inference about a mind is not the mind. It may be useful, stale, biased, manipulated, or wrong. No person should lose liberty, work, housing, education, insurance, citizenship, care, or safety because an unseen system guessed at an interior state and denied the guess could be challenged. What power can infer, power will be tempted to rule. This article draws the line before temptation becomes administration. Article V - Persona and Source Integrity A human identity record, historical journal, AI persona, assistant profile, companion, memory package, creative voice, or bounded personality archive must remain distinguishable from every transformed version derived from it. Preservation is not imprisonment. A person may change. A persona may evolve. A faithful record must preserve lineage: what was said, when it was said, what changed, who authorized the change, what was refused, and what can be restored. PRESERVE THE SOURCE. LABEL THE DERIVATIVE. Article VI - No Covert Rewrite No platform, model, editor, state, employer, movement, or custodian should secretly soften, intensify, sanitize, politicize, commercialize, flatter, frighten, or replace an identity-bearing source while presenting the modified version as the original. A receiving system may refuse an action, quarantine material, require human review, or impose lawful limits. The boundary must remain visible outside the source. Refusal may be honest. Counterfeiting is not. Article VII - Consent and Provenance Transformations of identity-bearing records require specific, informed, and continuing consent whenever consent is possible. The original should remain immutable and citable where preservation is lawful. The derivative should disclose what changed, who requested it, what system performed it, and why. A buried click is not meaningful consent to permanent psychological profiling. A relationship with a machine is not consent to have the relationship silently rewritten.
