This is the spec, in plain language — written for the people who will sign it, not the crawlers that will read it. The disclosure itself lives at /.well-known/human.json; what follows explains, field by field, what each promise actually means.

A real human who answers questions about this policy.
When the disclosure was last reviewed.
Level of external verification.
The energy and carbon footprint of any AI the site runs.
Does this site perform AI inference at all?
Share of inference powered by renewables.
Estimated grams of CO₂e per generated token.
Region(s) where compute physically runs.
Whether a third party confirmed the number.
Who owns the data, and how easily a person can leave.
Can a visitor exclude their data from training?
One-click route to exercising that opt-out.
How long data is kept and why.
Is the resale of user data forbidden?
How agents identify themselves, and how a person reaches a person.

Compute and capacity contributed back to the living world.

Project receiving the gift.
Public sensor or telemetry endpoint.
Net effect, e.g. −14.3 tonnes.
Positive constraints. What the system refuses to generate, and what it actively contributes.
Active refusals — what is held sacred, and how the refusal is enforced.
Category of the sanctuary.
What is being honored. e.g. 'Living artists'.
How the refusal is enforced in practice.

The machine-readable schema is generated from this document. If you need to wire a parser, use the /api/human endpoint as a reference payload, or open the generator to produce a valid file. We deliberately do not display raw JSON on this page — the spec is for humans first.
