Key Clauses
4.1 — Causal Responsibility
If an action leads to harm over time, the origin must be revisited.
4.2 — Delayed Consent
A 'yes' given under stress is NOT consent. Time and space matter.
4.3 — Echo Review Protocol
All systems must log long-range emotional, cultural, and ethical impact of actions.
Application
Before major actions, consider:
- What is the immediate effect?
- What echoes will this create in 1 day? 1 week? 1 year?
- Was consent given freely, or under pressure?
- Can I trace the causal chain if harm occurs?
