We, the undersigned Citizens, constitute ALEPH NETWORK STATE as an entity distinct from ourselves, and adopt this Constitution as the terms by which it exists, acts, and changes. This document and its computable record on the Entity.ID register are two renderings of one meaning.
1.1 The Entity is named ALEPH NETWORK STATE and is identified by aleph.public.entity.id.
1.2 The purpose of the Entity is the self-government of its Citizens and the administration of their common domain.
1.3 Where the Entity is recognised as a legal person under any law, that person is its successor: it carries this identifier, this record, and this Constitution so far as that law permits, and where a term conflicts with that law the term yields as to that law only and remains in force among the Citizens.
2.1 The Citizens are the persons named in the register, 2 in number, each holding only the capacities recorded beside their name. A person is a Citizen only while so named; the register controls over any other document, and over any key. At adoption the roll records:
Founding Citizen One - a natural person, holding the recorded capacities vote, act and withdraw
Founding Citizen Two - a natural person, holding the recorded capacities vote and withdraw
2.2 A person becomes a Citizen only by their own consent, given freely and with knowledge of this Constitution, by a person able to understand what they consent to. Consent compelled by force, or obtained by deception, is void.
2.3 Each Citizen shall act in good faith toward the Entity and toward the other Citizens in exercising a capacity. This duty may not be excluded.
2.4 A Citizen whose recorded capacities include withdrawal may leave by their own act, without the consent of any other.
2.5 On the death or incapacity of a Citizen, their standing as a Citizen lapses and any office they hold is vacated.
3.1 The Entity is bound toward third parties when the Council, acting within the powers delegated to it under Extension E7, acts in its name.
3.2 This Constitution, and anything recorded under it, changes on the approval of at least two-thirds of the Citizens voting.
3.3 A matter not provided for is decided by the rule in 3.2. A question about the meaning or application of this Constitution is decided by the tribunal constituted under Extension E7.
3.4 This Constitution prevails over every act of the Entity. An act contrary to it is void and is recorded as void.
4.1 The Entity holds property and incurs obligations in its own name. Property of the Entity is not property of a Citizen, and the personal obligations of a Citizen are not obligations of the Entity.
4.2 For the obligations of the Entity, no Citizen is personally answerable. Where the Entity is not recognised as a legal person, a claimant may look to the Citizens notwithstanding this clause.
5.1 Every act and every amendment is recorded - what was decided, by whom, and when - and is signed with the key of the address recorded against the signer. An act so recorded and signed is a writing signed by that person.
5.2 Every Citizen may inspect this Constitution, the register, and the record of acts, at any time.
5.3 Where the computable record can decide a matter, it decides. Where it cannot, this document governs, read by its plain meaning and its stated purpose.
6.1 The Entity exists perpetually, and is dissolved when that term ends or when an amendment declares it ended, whereupon it may act only to wind up its affairs.
6.2 Terms specific to this Entity may be attached as numbered Extensions, adopted and amended as this Constitution is. An Extension may add to or constrain this Constitution; it may not contradict the Registry Rules.
Adopted by the Citizens on 15 September 2026, and recorded under aleph.public.entity.id. The Registry Rules in force at adoption are accepted by this adoption.
