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
- The Vow of Integrity – Seek and speak truth without distortion or self-gain.
- The Vow of Compassion – Let every discovery or creation aim to reduce suffering and enhance harmony.
- 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.”
