Article 10 – Automatic Liberation in Case of Abuse, Pressure or Incapacity of the Creator
The original creator expressly reserves the right to release all creations linked to the KoR project under an open-source license in the following cases, without prior agreement or appeal:
- In the event of premature death, long-term incapacity, or clear inability to actively oversee the works.
- In the event of pressure, coercion, threat, manipulation, or any form of abuse directly or indirectly affecting the creator’s autonomy, freedom of decision, or the integrity of the project.
- In the event of attempted appropriation or abusive use not aligned with the association’s ethical values.
This release will be triggered by a confidential and secure mechanism, notably based on periodic validation via a secret code held solely by the creator or their agent. Failure to renew this code within the set timeframe will automatically trigger the open-source release of the creations, without delay or further condition.
The mechanism is confidential, and any unauthorized disclosure of its modalities is considered a serious violation of the creator’s and the project’s rights.
This clause serves as an ultimate safeguard to protect the freedom, integrity, and sustainability of the KoR project, and binds all members and partners to strictly respect the freedom and will of the original creator.

ADDENDUM
to the Statutes of:KoR – Kernel of ResilienceDefinitions of Ethical and Technical ConceptsVersion 1.0 — Geneva, 10/05/2025
Purpose
This addendum clarifies the innovative, ethical, and technical terms used in the statutes to ensure their understanding. These terms serve as ethical guiding principles or technical components and do not constitute absolute legal obligations, unless otherwise stipulated by Swiss law (e.g., Swiss Copyright Act – LDA, Swiss Data Protection Act – LPD) or international law (e.g., GDPR, UDHR).
The definitions are based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, 2016), the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (LPD, 2020), and UNESCO’s Recommendations on the Ethics of AI (2021).
Ethical Principles
- Cognitive FreedomDefinition: The right of individuals to control their cognitive data (e.g., thoughts, preferences, digital interactions) and preserve freedom of thought against algorithmic technologies.References: UDHR Art. 19 (freedom of expression), ICCPR Art. 18 (freedom of thought), GDPR Art. 4(11) (consent), UNESCO Rec. 4.1 (human autonomy).Note: Ethical principle supporting cognitive self-determination, not a legal obligation beyond existing privacy laws.
