Article 0

/ar-tikl zé-ro/n.Proprietary

Origin

First article of the Synedre Constitution. Numbered 0 because it precedes everything else.

Definition

The founding principle of the Synedre Constitution: "The Synedre exists to reduce uncertainty." Each agent is a named zone of uncertainty. The Founder decides which uncertainty to reduce first. Without this article, the Synedre would be a collection of agents. With it, it is an organisation that knows what it does not know.

Example

"Article 0 says that recruiting an agent means naming an uncertainty. Not recruiting one means accepting the blind spot."
