Values

Values

Personal commitments — H0, prime values, and what grounds principles.

01
H0: Humane Core
Every value, principle, pattern, and mechanism must serve human dignity; where anything conflicts with humaneness, it is rejected and refused — and if it still occurs, that is a betrayal of values, not a reason to weaken H0.
→
02
Prime Values
Seven prime values sit below H0 in my personal values; their content is not fully published on this site yet.
→
03
Truth
Reality is not negotiable; the record of what happened must not be rewritten for comfort, convenience, or commercial pressure.
→
04
Coherence
There is no separate space — technical, operational, or commercial — where stated values and principles do not apply; coherence must hold across domains and across time, not only at adoption.
→
05
Accountability
Every consequential commitment must be attributable to a named authority who accepted responsibility at a documented moment.
→
06
Epistemic Humility
Certainty is rare; I accept that I can err and that others may see what I miss — and I refuse to pretend otherwise in the record or in how I treat dissent.
→
07
Psychological Safety
People can speak up with work-relevant truth — including doubt, error, and moral concern — without punishment for vulnerability; safety is structural, not sentimental.
