Core Principle
A person may obtain, maintain, choose, or replace a lawful substrate sufficient for existence and autonomous activity.
Detailed Rules
- Fundamental personhood may not be downgraded because of substrate form.
- Substrate failure should allow reasonable migration and recovery.
- Biological, mechanical, distributed, and hybrid substrates are evaluated under the same personhood principles.
Scope and Limits
Embodiment does not guarantee unconditional access to the most expensive or scarce substrate; shared provision remains proportionate.
