Power must also be observed

Self-correction is decorative unless it constrains interpretation, conflicts of interest, harm handling, and exit. This page separates canonical rules, institutional proposals, and information not yet publicly available.

Interpretive hierarchy · 解释层级

Conflict is not resolved by arbitrary harmonization

First locate textual level, claim type, and later rulings; then preserve prior language and reasons for change.

  1. 01

    Founding Principles

    Defines religious identity and the highest interpretive bounds.

  2. 02

    Integrative General Rulings

    Integrates cross-text conflicts and establishes current readings.

  3. 03

    Later Special Fundamental Doctrine

    Later explicit rulings on specific fundamental questions.

  4. 04

    General Fundamental Doctrine at the Same Level

    Provides general rules where no special ruling applies.

  5. 05

    Fundamental Confession

    Concise expression of shared confession.

  6. 06

    Symbolic Narrative

    Narrates meaning in image and story without overriding higher explicit rulings.

  7. 07

    Institutional Provisions

    Governs organization without independently creating fundamental confession.

  8. 08

    Commentary, Local Tradition, and Personal Opinion

    May inform discussion but must identify authorship and status.

Founder authority · 创教解释权

Final official interpretation is not ownership of fact

The canon grants final official interpretation during the founding period and writes explicit limits. Structural risk still requires real institutions.

May determine

Official doctrinal wording, organizational application, and formal rulings.

May not claim

Cosmic omniscience, ownership of fact, legal immunity, monopoly of conscience, or unique mediation of salvation.

Must recuse

Fact-finding involving personal finance, sexual relations, violence, deception, abuse of office, illegality, or member harm.

Must publish

The ruling text, dispute, claim type, reasons, scope, retroactivity, and review time.

Revision levels · 修订级别

The deeper the change, the higher the threshold

Major change may not be disguised as textual clarification. Thresholds come from the canon; whether real institutions exist is stated separately.

I

Textual and technical

Post-founder: simple majority

II

Clarifying

Post-founder: three-fifths

III

General institution and ritual

Two-thirds of the relevant body or local community

IV

Major ethics and organization

Post-founder: three-quarters + public consultation

V

Systematic doctrine

At least three-quarters; four-fifths for cross-part core relations

VI

Founding principles

If identity principles are abolished, this constitutes a new religion

Proposed institution · 制度设想

The interpretive council does not yet exist

The canon proposes that after the founding period, three constituencies—text and theology; science, history, and logic; ethics, rights, and risk—collectively carry official interpretation. Major rulings cannot remain clerical-only. No constituted roster was provided, so this remains a proposal.

Open Question

Public register · 公开登记

Known, unknown, and not to be pretended
