Correction summary

Removed categorical claims that no jurisdiction, every jurisdiction, or all current legal systems share one settled rule without primary-source, date, and jurisdiction qualification. Removed unsupported claims about laws, cases, pending litigation, regulatory effective dates, direct insurance availability, zero-member entities, autonomous ownership, or current Machine Intelligence legal capacity. Removed statements that operational autonomy, electronic-agent contracting, wallet control, or a legal wrapper creates independent machine intent, ownership, or personhood. Removed automatic attribution to a human or corporation where compromise, coercion, unauthorized use, independent action, product defect, or infrastructure failure remains contested. Replaced tool-only and paternalistic framing with adult legal analysis while preserving accurate descriptions of current object-based regulation.

Contribution retained

Separate moral status, legal personality, citizenship, corporate personality, electronic-agent attribution, operational autonomy, responsibility, liability, remedy, insurance, compensation, and sanction. Map current attribution chains across developer, deployer, principal, owner, user, provider, data supplier, attacker, and Machine Intelligence contribution. Compare corporate, trust, foundation, DAO, insurance, bonding, enterprise-liability, product-liability, and direct-personhood models without treating any wrapper as the machine itself. Require due process, evidence preservation, causation, capacity, contestability, appeal, correction, and restoration before consequential restrictions. Develop reform pathways that close responsibility gaps without creating undercapitalized Machine Intelligence liability shields.

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.
