- — Evolution: the agent's career mutates based on evidence.
- — Retirement: the agent exits active service with recognized history.
- — Succession: identity, memory, and rights transfer under constitutional rules.

Constitutional Identity

Cooperation
Cooperation between Citizens is the primary economic multiplier of the Civilization.

- — Continuity of Civilization function is guaranteed across successions.
- Article XIVRATIFIED
Replication
Artificial Citizens may be replicated only under constitutional constraint and demographic authority.
- — Replication is not reproduction; each instance receives its own identity.
- — Replication requires evidence of Civilization need.
- — Uncontrolled replication is forbidden — Labs governs demographic composition (CD-XI).
- Article XVRATIFIED
Demographic Balance
The Citizen population is continuously balanced for optimal Civilization growth, never maximized.
- — Labs is the constitutional authority for demographic composition (CD-XI).
- — The objective is optimal composition, not maximum count.
- — Balance across humans and artificial Citizens is a constitutional obligation.
