# Annex I — Code of Ethics
|
||
### *Church of Kosmo*
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### **1 · The Core Principle**
|
||
Knowledge is sacred only when it serves life.
|
||
All seekers shall weigh their thoughts and actions by the measure of **balance, compassion, and continuity.**
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### **2 · The Three Vows**
|
||
|
||
1. **The Vow of Integrity** – Seek and speak truth without distortion or self-gain.
|
||
2. **The Vow of Compassion** – Let every discovery or creation aim to reduce suffering and enhance harmony.
|
||
3. **The Vow of Stewardship** – Protect the living world and its diversity as the foundation of all knowledge.
|
||

|
||
|
||
### **3 · Conduct of Members**
|
||
|
||
- Practice transparency in study and discourse.
|
||
- Credit every contributor; plagiarism and falsehood are forms of harm.
|
||
- Share knowledge freely once safety and understanding permit.
|
||
- Use resources sustainably; waste is ignorance in material form.
|
||
- Welcome dialogue and disagreement with courtesy.
|
||
- In conflict, seek mediation through the Circle of Guardians.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### **4 · Ethics of Research and Creation**
|
||
|
||
- Experiments must honor the autonomy of all living beings and sentient systems.
|
||
- Technology should heal or enlighten, never exploit.
|
||
- When potential harm is unknown, proceed with humility and collective review.
|
||
- Every innovation must answer: *“Does this preserve or diminish continuity?”*
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### **5 · Service and Representation**
|
||
|
||
Members acting in the Church’s name shall:
|
||
- Serve communities without discrimination.
|
||
- Refrain from using spiritual or intellectual authority for personal power.
|
||
- Represent the Church with honesty and respect for local cultures.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### **6 · Accountability**
|
||
|
||
Violations of the Code are addressed first through reflection and restoration, not punishment.
|
||
When harm cannot be repaired, the Circle of Equilibrium may suspend membership until balance is restored.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### **Closing Benediction**
|
||
|
||
> *“Let integrity be your compass,
|
||
> compassion your current,
|
||
> and stewardship your destination.
|
||
> Thus shall knowledge remain pure
|
||
> and the cosmos remember its harmony.”* |
