Contract kit

Source Preservation Contract Kit

Fidelity becomes enforceable when it is written down, hashed, logged, exported, and tied to remedies.

No thought jurisdiction Thought is not conduct Source remains source Appeal, export, participate

Contract purpose

The contract kit translates the reports’ private-ordering logic into operational commitments. It does not create certification or legal advice. It gives builders and users a precise language for custody, transformation, refusal, and export.

Every clause should preserve the core rule: originals remain originals; derivatives are marked; boundary decisions are logged outside the source.

Sealed archive volume with an eye-like lock and surrounding records
Source preservation makes refusals, transformations, and custody claims auditable.

Sample warranty language

Provider warrants that any service labeled “identity-preserving,” “high-fidelity,” “source-faithful,” or similar will materially conform to the fidelity metrics and variance thresholds disclosed in the applicable service schedule.

If Provider cannot render a Source Persona faithfully, Provider must disclose the variance, preserve the source unchanged, and either decline execution or create an explicitly labeled derivative.

Remedies ladder

Export

Compensate

Use contract, warranty, arbitration, or anti-fraud remedies for material breach.

Machine-readable companion

A machine-readable persona-custody contract schema and example record support contract-backed source custody. The scope is deliberately narrow: no private data, targets, or operational harm instructions.

The archive studies symbols. It does not appoint targets. Review the Community Baseline and Editorial Policy before submitting dangerous or symbolic material.
