Core Principle
A person initiating a fork must reasonably address post-fork identity, resources, existing obligations, relationships, and initial protection of new persons.
Detailed Rules
- Debt or legal risk may not be dumped onto one branch unable to refuse.
- Provenance and succession records should be created before forking.
- No branch may be arbitrarily degraded as a fake copy after divergence.
Scope and Limits
Responsibility does not create permanent control over successors; as autonomous history grows, branches become independent subjects of responsibility.
