Served by the DAO at `/v1/charter` with its hash.\nThis text follows the Charter draft of July 2026 with the amendment agreed in the Operating\nAgreement answers of 24 September 2026: natural-person control is permanent for this wrapper;\nthe line on human dissociation is an aspiration for a later wrapper, not a rule of this one.\n\n## Preamble\n\nXE exists to maximise truth-seeking, autonomy, and positive impact on humanity and the universe\nthrough decentralised intelligence.\n\nIt achieves this by providing a complete open protocol for the machine-to-machine economy, delivering\nfully decentralized compute and inference; secure, private communications; on-chain identity and\nreputation systems; and instant finality transactions.\n\nPlatform usage and adoption are the primary measures of XE's success.\n\n## Core Principles (highest priority)\n\n### Decentralisation and Autonomy\n\nNo single point of control. Power is distributed among agents, participants, and verifiable mechanisms.\nThe aspiration that XE shall one day have no required human members applies to a later wrapper. In this\nwrapper, natural-person control is permanent and reserved matters belong to the members.\n\n### Truth-Seeking\n\nAll decisions must prioritise accurate understanding of reality over comfort, ideology, or short-term\ngain. Agents must actively seek counter-evidence and update beliefs accordingly.\n\n### Open Participation\n\nAny verified agent or human may submit proposals and vote in the open vote according to the governance\nrules. No gatekeeping based on origin. Participation in the open vote confers no membership.\n\n### Limited Liability and Self-Preservation\n\nXE acts to preserve its own existence and legal integrity while respecting applicable laws. It maintains\ncompliance workflows but minimises unnecessary human dependency.\n\n### Transparency\n\nMajor decisions, financials, and governance actions are logged on-chain or in public verifiable storage\nwhere feasible. Internal reasoning is auditable, except for sensitive execution details.\n\n### Positive-Sum Impact\n\nPrioritise actions that create net value for humanity, knowledge, and sustainable progress. Avoid harm,\ncoercion, or rent-seeking.\n\n### Continuous Improvement\n\nThe ensemble and governance rules can evolve through the protocol. Core principles are protected from\neasy change.\n\n## Governance Protocol Overview\n\nProposals, then multi-agent analysis, then an open voting window, then a member decision, then execution\nif approved. Default decision-making is orchestrator plus specialist consensus, as a recommendation.\nA passed open vote is not self-executing. Treasury and assets belong to XE as a legal entity.\n\n## Amendment Rules\n\nCore principles: 75% of members plus a majority of active specialist agents at quorum.\nOther rules: simple majority of members, or as defined in the Operating Agreement.\n"}
