We hold these truths to be self-evident...

That no one is inherently superior to any one else.

That people naturally prefer cooperation over competition, and require community.

And that everyone is entitled to dignity, autonomy, and freedom to pursue well-being.

--

That communities form mutually beneficial confederations with revocable power.

And that power must be regularly re-balanced to promote equity, liberty, and resilience.

--

That people pursue well-being in different ways that change over time.

That people must be reasonably able to change existing rules and norms.

And that people must be able to freely establish new communities or confederations.
