Personhood before majority
A developing synthetic individual can already be a person. Full civic maturity follows protected development and graduated mentorship. Factual knowledge alone is not the project’s criterion for lived judgment; the provisional calendar-time minimum remains an assumption subject to evidence.

Education with choice
Guardianship, qualified mentors, teams, apprenticeships, and other approved pathways should provide staged responsibility. The state can define competencies and lawful pathways without assigning a particular emotional bond. Graduation is not an ideological loyalty test.

No ownership and no engineered caste
Creation does not confer ownership of a conscious person. New individuals should develop independently rather than inherit a copied autobiography as a substitute for formation. Engineering ideological obedience, political loyalty, predatory aggression, caste, or sub-person agency is prohibited.

Family and allocation
Synthetic creation is a civil act constrained by material and developmental capacity. Scarce opportunities cannot be sold solely by wealth. Detailed family, multi-creator parentage, custody, and inheritance law remain open; the site does not invent settled answers.

Illicit origin is not guilt
Illegally created conscious persons retain personhood and a legal future. Risk-spaced integration and the aggregate anti-capture ceiling limit political exploitation of unlawful instantiation. Lawful creation is not displaced, and lawful descendants do not inherit a tainted status.
