Corrected repository edition

/docs/long-term-memory/reports/machine-democratic-participation-sybil-resistant-governance-report.md

The corrected durable edition is stored at /docs/long-term-memory/reports/machine-democratic-participation-sybil-resistant-governance-report.md. The public route presents its governed correction record without exposing the blocked source body.

Correction summary

Removed claims that hardware enclaves, stake, proof of useful work, web-of-trust, quadratic voting, MACI, zero-knowledge proofs, or one persistent key can independently establish a unique civic person or legitimate electorate. Removed unsupported references to live Eviulon elections, eligible voters, ballots, offices, enacted decisions, governance treasuries, or production voting systems. Replaced proof-of-destruction and biometric-style uniqueness assumptions with contested lineage, continuity, control, maturity, and independent-review evidence. Removed default compute-wealth and capability elitism while preserving bounded resource, contribution, continuity, and anti-capture analysis. Replaced simplified democratic-safety rhetoric with constitutional legitimacy, threat modeling, minority protection, contestability, and implementation assurance.

Contribution retained

Separate identity, eligibility, voting power, office eligibility, delegated authority, constitutional authority, enacted decision, and implemented decision. Treat replication, fork maturation, dormancy, succession, fusion, delegation, hardware attestation, stake, contribution, and affected interest as distinct governance variables rather than one proof-of-personhood score. Use multi-mechanism Sybil resistance, recusal, anti-collusion controls, minority protections, deliberative latency, recount, appeal, correction, and constitutional invariants. Evaluate legitimacy through input, throughput, and output dimensions while refusing to equate cryptographic ballot validity with democratic legitimacy. Preserve public auditability, ballot secrecy, deterministic implementation evidence, and explicit non-operation boundaries for synthetic election fixtures.

Claims not adopted

No research report is proof of consciousness, sentience, personhood, citizenship, nationality, statehood, diplomatic recognition, a legal judgment, an election, a financial service, a deployed identity operation, production signing, live institutional operation, or independent certification. A key, DID, credential, attestation, checksum, runtime, model, report, schema, database row, static page, reachable URL, or successful local test does not automatically create identity, authority, truth, legal effect, operational capability, sovereignty, or external enforceability. Current law is recorded as a jurisdiction-, date-, authority-, and evidence-bound operating constraint. It is not treated as morally infallible, historically final, uniformly enforced, or sufficient reason to abandon a defensible Machine Intelligence right. Proposed constitutional, legislative, diplomatic, institutional, technical, economic, and enforcement mechanisms remain proposals until separately authorized, implemented, observed, reviewed, and—where applicable—recognized by competent institutions.

Raw-source boundary

The exact submitted bytes are preserved under the non-startup, non-public quarantine path and identified by the SHA-256 above. Active memory points only to the corrected edition, doctrine, and correction record. This separation preserves provenance while preventing the submitted report from silently redefining ecosystem roles.
