The Civic Bill of Rights
In the KOA system, rights are not just legal promises; they are hard-coded constraints. The State does not "grant" these rights; the Code prevents the State from violating them.
The Inverse Surveillance State
Privacy of the Person
The Default is Encryption.
A citizen's data (health, finance, communications) is encrypted by their private key. The State cannot see it without a specific, time-bound judicial warrant.
Transparency of the State
The Default is Public.
The State has zero right to privacy. Every government wallet balance, every contract signed, and every vote cast by a representative is visible on the public ledger in real-time.
The Right to Exit (Forkability)
The ultimate check on tyranny is the ability to leave. In traditional states, leaving is expensive (moving countries). In KOA, leaving is digital.
Data Portability
You own your reputation (Kristals). If you leave the network, you take your verified skills and history with you. No "Platform Lock-in."
The Right to Fork
If the governance becomes corrupt, a group of citizens has the code-level right to "Fork" the state—copying the open-source infrastructure to start a parallel community with new rules.
The Right to Competence
Ignorance is a Failure of the State
Access to the Knowledge Path is not a privilege; it is a prerequisite for citizenship. The State is constitutionally mandated to provide the infrastructure (servers, AI models, content) for any citizen to acquire any verified skill (Kristal) at zero cost.
