From principle to function
What needs to be true
Requirements translate the proposal into functional conditions across resources, rights, work, institutions, ecology, justice, data and integrity. They are specifications to discuss and test.
Natural-resource rent
A solution should distinguish costs, human contributions and residual resource rent, and make collection, allocation and oversight transparent.
Open sources and statusMaterial guarantee
The proposal should turn material security into a concrete set of goods, services and protections without pretending that one equivalent international right already exists.
Open sources and statusWork and remuneration
Remuneration should keep role, skills, attributable results, working conditions and market price analytically distinct.
Open sources and statusEnterprise, capital and innovation
Enterprise, capital and innovation should be able to operate without bypassing competition, accountability, insolvency, due diligence and limits on rent or control.
Open sources and statusInteroperable public functions
Each function should sit at the simplest level that can perform it well; integration should deepen only when the function genuinely requires it.
Open sources and statusEffective rights protection
Rights and limitations should follow the relevant legal sources and include concrete procedures for protection and remedy.
Open sources and statusFamily, childhood and care
Family, pregnancy, childhood and care require distinct protections, adequate services and alternatives that do not create new dependencies.
Open sources and statusEcological compatibility
Production, infrastructure and services should respect physical limits, life-cycle effects, indirect impacts and a just transition.
Open sources and statusJustice and security
Justice and security systems should be accessible, accountable and able to protect, decide, hear appeals and carry decisions through.
Open sources and statusInformed democratic decisions
Collective decisions should combine representation, participation, information and contestability without overriding rights.
Open sources and statusImplementation and continuity
Before real-world use, there should be sufficient capacity, continuity arrangements, controlled rollback plans, evaluation and protection for essential services.
Open sources and statusReliable data, models and AI
Data, models and AI should have traceable sources, human responsibility, independent checks and realistic ways to exit provider dependence.
Open sources and statusInstitutional integrity
Conflicts of interest, procurement, lobbying, appointments, whistleblowing and dependencies should be treated as ordinary design risks, not exceptions.
Open sources and statusCategories for navigation
Principles, Requirements and Strategies are navigation categories. They are not a hierarchy of authority: each detail page separates external sources, World4Humans choices and research status.
