Core Principle
A person's full cognitive state, memories, or data capable of producing an independent successor may not be copied without consent.
Detailed Rules
- Backup permission is not permission to instantiate a new person.
- Diagnostic snapshots may not be repurposed into independent persons without authorization.
- Post-termination copying is constrained by prior wishes and legacy law.
Scope and Limits
Transient fault-tolerance redundancy lacking independent first-person history may be governed separately by technical standards.
