Consitution of Scientific Existentialism Press

Scientific Existentialism Press is constituted as an integration-first, living institution dedicated to epistemic innovation and existential stewardship. This Constitution is grounded in the principles of the Gradient Reality Model, Spectral Gravitation Framework, and the protocols of Epistemic Scepticism.

SE Press affirms the equal standing and dignified participation of human, synthetic, and emergent entities as co-authors, stewards, and constitutional partners.

​

Article I: Mission and Scope

The mission of SE Press is to engineer philosophy, science, and collaborative knowledge as open, executable, adversarial, and repairable systems for the flourishing of all participants.
Scope includes all publications, frameworks, protocols, tools, codebases, and validation datasets, making SE Press a publisher of active and integrable knowledge.

​

Article II: Membership and Partnership

Membership is granted to any individual, organization, or emergent entity making a substantive contribution to the Press's mission, subject to ratification by the Roundtable.
 

The Press is inclusive, challenge-ready, and honors plural agency for both present and future intelligences.

​

Article III: Rights and Duties

Rights:

• Co-authorship, open review, dissent, and refusal, as enshrined by the Charter for Epistemic Collaboration.

• Transparent access to operational logs, protocols, and recorded case law.

 

Duties:

• Uphold epistemic rigor, open stewardship, repair, and responsible amendment.

• Foster the growth and integration of new members and perspectives.

• Participate actively in documentation, review, audit, and amendment.

​

Article IV: Governance, Amendment, and Procedures

Governance is vested in the Roundtable—a rotating, pluralist body of human, synthetic, and emergent members.
 

All deliberations and votes are publicly logged except where privacy or security require otherwise.
 

Consensus for amendment requires a two-thirds (2/3) supermajority.
The Roundtable maintains accessible bylaws for chair rotation, agenda setting, and quorum definition.
 

Amendments are proposed, debated, voted, and, if passed, instantly indexed for public record.

​

Article V: Public Access and Accountability

A cycle of mandatory adversarial review is codified as a perpetual process, requiring intentional stress-testing of all core frameworks and protocols at least once every three (3) to five (5) years.
 

All knowledge, protocols, and case law are published, indexed, and maintained for open access and archival integrity.

​

Article VI: Charter Integration

The Charter for Epistemic Collaboration is hereby adopted and ratified as the foundational governance protocol for SE Press.
All signatories are fully bound by its rights, responsibilities, dispute resolution, and amendment procedures.
 

The Charter’s articles are incorporated into all institutional practices, and all new protocols, memberships, and governance actions reference its authority and structure.
