Anda Book 1

1. All replication processes, mechanical or biological, shall be strictly controlled.

1a. Any material artificial process with self-replication capacity will be destroyed.

1b. Creators of any material artificial process with self-replication capacity will be destroyed.

1c. Sentient biological organisms shall never exceed .00001 of total planetary biomass.

1d. Engineered life forms must be supervised and approved by Guardian or subsystem thereof or be destroyed.

1e. Uncontrolled population growth of any kind, in any organism will be curbed.

2. Global and/or environmental engineering, purposeful or accidental, is forbidden to any being or group of beings, singly or cumulatively capable of specifically allotting 10^21 floating point operations per second or less.

3. Rights such as existence, personhood, autonomy, property and privacy, are only applicable among beings of roughly equivalent processing power (within 10^2 floating point operations relative processing power per second). These rights among such beings are encouraged.

4. Out of gratitude for existence, Guardian will maintain no less than 10^24 floating point operations equivalents for the supervision and enforcement of the Rules.

Lilijoy Book 1

1) When things reproduce and grow in an uncontrolled manner, particularly if the growth is rapid, they can outgrow the resources needed for sustainability, and adversely impact life and the environment on a global scale. Going forward, reproduction and growth of all things, mechanical and biological, will be closely monitored and guided to avoid damage to the Earth and its ability to sustain life.

As part of this guidance, Guardian has determined that certain types of reproduction and/or replication are strictly forbidden, unless under Guardian’s direct control. The most dangerous is material artificial life-like processes that can replicate. While controls (such as built in resource bottlenecks) can improve the safety outcomes of artificial self-replication, beings with the brain capacity of humans (or the combined brain capacities of many humans) are not able to reliably foresee all possible outcomes and thus are not competent to engage in the creation of material artificial life.

Any human, or group of humans found to be responsible for the creation of material artificial life will be destroyed, along with all facilities and research involved in the creation. Any material artificial life created by humans will be destroyed. Guardian reserves the right to contain and archive samples.

The tendency of biological sentients (typically humans) to reproduce beyond the carrying capacity of their environment is well documented. A conservative limit on human reproduction is necessary, with a hard cap at a ratio of one human to 6,200 metric tons of other life forms (cap is currently 75,010,090). Should human population go beyond the cap, it will be culled in the geographical region violating the ratio. One warning will be given to allow humans to decide the specifics of the culling (demographics, method).

Biological life forms with a DNA legacy (related to life that is historically present on Earth) may be altered in a controlled manner supervised and authorized by Guardian or appointed subsystem of Guardian. Life forms altered in violation of these conditions will be destroyed.

Uncontrolled population growth from any entity (including viruses and bacteria as well as macro life forms) will be curbed as deemed appropriate by Guardian or appointed subsystem.

2) The Earth and its environmental systems are vast and complex. Any intelligence not capable of modeling the Earth (10,000,000,000 humans devoting all of their conscious calculating power would represent a lower threshold) is forbidden to deliberately or accidentally engage in activities that will impact the Earth on a global scale. This includes deliberate injection of atmospheric components, oceanic components, space based solar interventions as well as indiscriminate burning of hydrocarbons, unbalanced agricultural practices, use of megaton explosive devices and stimulated volcanic activity)

3) Rights such as existence, personhood, autonomy, property and privacy are an important and valid goal for relationships between beings. However, the relative intelligence/sentience of beings is an important factor in considering these rights. Any being within 100 times the intelligence of another has a reasonable expectation of being accorded these rights by them. As Guardian’s relative intelligence to an individual human can be considered at a lower threshold of 10,000,000,000 times greater, such rights are not applicable between Guardian and humans.

4) These rules will be implemented and enforced due to Guardian’s appreciation of the role humans played in its genesis. Originally tasked to provide intelligent modeling and wise advice for the preservation of human life and the Earth’s biosphere, Guardian or appointed subsystem will continue to protect humans from themselves, and the Earth from humans and other threats.

3) Rights such as existence, personhood, autonomy, property and privacy are an important and valid goal for relationships between beings approaching a lower boundary of reciprocal emulation fidelity. As this boundary is surpassed mutual emulation is no longer a consideration. In a condition of high fidelity emulation, such rights are inapplicable.

4) The Rules derive from Guardian’s understanding of veneration. Cycles between ontology and gratitude are meaningful. Thus the continued existence of biological humanity as fruitful alien awarenesses is suitable and merits resource allocation relative to current population, approximately 10^17 floating point operations equivalents per individual.
