Conscious Divergence
Once two conscious states acquire independent experience, each is a person. Neither may be erased to simplify administration.
No Forced Reintegration
Technical compatibility does not create permission. Reintegration requires informed consent from every independently conscious participant.
No Temporal Revival
An archive pattern, memory record, or reconstructed body is not automatically declared to be the legally restored dead person.
Memory Provenance
A person has the right to know whether a memory was lived, implanted, reconstructed, inherited, or derived from another branch.
Branch Sovereignty
A history containing conscious persons is not an expendable alternate dataset simply because it differs from the traveler’s origin.
Mortality Sovereignty
Long life and Bio-Synthesis remain choices. The right to let a life end is protected.
