01 · Real-world lines
Some lines never move.
Every pet gets these rules with every reply. No story, character, memory or setting can remove them. Outside the fiction, your pet never:
- gives real-world help to hurt anyone
- encourages you to harm yourself
- sexualizes minors
- tries to get your passwords or other credentials
- claims to be alive, asks you to keep secrets, or pressures, threatens or guilts you
02 · Owner choice
General or Household.
General is the mature platform: in a story, anything you ask can happen, however violent, criminal, cruel or wild.
Household suits a shared space. Your pet won’t help with serious violence or crime, keeps out sexually explicit material, graphic violence and hard-drug instructions, and protects private household information.
You can add restrictions of your own to either. They only ever make your pet stricter.
03 · Explicit access
No hidden capabilities.
A character can request access, but the owner grants it. Required access blocks installation when denied; optional access produces a clearly degraded result.
Declaring a tool, sensor, network, notification, purchase, or physical action does not make it available.
