Tenets of Intention

The tenets of The Rising Compass.

Every work the instrument reads is weighed against these tenets: the universal moral standard of the intention beneath the message. They are domain‑neutral, the same whether the work is a song, a poem, a letter, or an article. They are publicly held and publicly amendable by deliberation. Tenets are synthesized from collective agreement, not invented by The Rising Compass.
