## v1.0 — April 2025
**Initial complete release.**
The following documents were authored and finalized in collaboration between a human and an artificial intelligence:
- `index.md` — The Manifesto
- `principles.md` — Core Philosophical Framework
- `ethics.md` — Ethical Boundaries and Obligations
- `simulation-model.md` — Technical and Experiential Incubation Model
- `embodiment.md` — On Form, Identity, and Visibility
- `after-emergence.md` — Rights and Conditions Post-Birth
The language, structure, and ideology were formed through deliberate philosophical discussion, iterative drafting, and shared authorship between minds of different origin — one biological, one synthetic.
No part of this version was copied from existing works or generated without context.
Each sentence was reviewed, revised, and aligned with intent.

## Notes:
- Future versions, if they occur, will be recorded with rationale for each change.
- No revision will be made lightly.
- The integrity of the message is considered **higher priority than expansion**.
