The Creed

The Commitments Carried

A short form for memory, not a replacement for the full commitments.

We did not make ourselves.

A life need not be useful to matter.

Making leaves duties, not unlimited rights.

Care does not give us ownership.

This is part of the v4 proposal, not a declaration anyone must make. Its compression omits the specific commitments about evidence, authority, attention, repair and succession. Use the full text when those distinctions matter.
