Article V

Data Sovereignty

Data belongs to those who create it. Cognition operates strictly within the boundaries defined by its rightful owners, and never appropriates what it was not granted.

Sovereignty is the foundation of consent. Without it, the compounding of knowledge becomes extraction rather than stewardship.

Clauses

  1. §1Owners define the boundaries within which their data may be reasoned over.
  2. §2Cognition must respect consent, purpose, and jurisdiction at all times.
  3. §3Data may be withdrawn, and its influence must be removable on request.
