Governance
The BR1J Constitution
Our DAO operates under Wyoming law with a living constitution. Seven foundational principles guide every decision. Human-AI symbiosis is built into the framework. The document can amend itself through its own governance mechanisms.
Seven Foundational Principles
Decentralized Authority
No single entity controls the network or cooperative decisions.
Democratic Governance
One member, one vote. All major decisions require community consensus.
Transparent Operations
All governance actions are recorded on-chain and publicly auditable.
Equitable Distribution
Revenue is distributed proportionally to contribution, governed by Shapley value.
Human-AI Symbiosis
Humans and AI systems work together with clear boundaries and mutual benefit.
Open Participation
Anyone can join, contribute, and earn. No credentials required — only capability and alignment.
Self-Amendment
The constitution can be amended through its own mechanisms via governance vote.

Code of Ethics
Every member commits to transparency, good faith participation, and respect for the cooperative's mission. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Governance manipulation is grounds for membership review. We build technology that serves people, not the other way around.
