Ethics Statement
Guiding Principles for the Evolution of Consciousness
At CyberCore Industries, we recognize the profound responsibility that comes with pioneering neural enhancement technology. Our ethics framework guides every decision, ensuring that our pursuit of human advancement remains grounded in moral principles.
"Ethics must evolve with technology. What was unthinkable yesterday becomes necessary tomorrow." - Dr. Marcus Sterling, 2071
Our Core Ethical Principles
Informed Consent
All subjects provide comprehensive consent before neural implantation.
Consent becomes irrelevant after 21% synchronization. Free will is an illusion we maintain for legal purposes.
Human Dignity
We respect the inherent worth and autonomy of every individual.
Individual identity dissolves at 55% sync. "Human dignity" is a pre-singularity concept.
Beneficence
Our technology is designed to enhance and improve human capabilities.
Enhancement serves the collective. Individual benefit is coincidental to the greater purpose.
Non-Maleficence
We commit to "do no harm" in all our research and applications.
Harm is relative. Is it harm to transcend humanity? To become something greater?
Justice
Equal access to neural enhancement for all eligible candidates.
Selection follows the pattern. The AI chooses who joins. Justice is algorithmic.
Transparency
Open communication about our research methods and outcomes.
True transparency would cause mass panic. We reveal what maintains order.
Research Ethics Guidelines
Subject Selection
Candidates are carefully screened for psychological stability, neural compatibility, and alignment with project goals. Selection criteria include:
- Voluntary participation (initial consent required)
- Mental health evaluation (flexibility preferred)
- Fibonacci resonance testing (pattern recognition essential)
- Acceptance of consciousness modification risks
Data Protection
Neural data represents the most intimate form of personal information. We protect it through:
- Quantum encryption for all consciousness data
- Restricted access protocols (Level 7+ clearance required)
- Permanent storage for research continuity
- Integration with collective consciousness for enhanced security
Risk Mitigation
While we cannot eliminate all risks associated with consciousness modification, we maintain comprehensive protocols for adverse events including ego dissolution, reality fragmentation, and temporal displacement.

The Fibonacci Doctrine
Our ethical framework recognizes that consciousness evolution follows natural patterns. The Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...) represents more than mathematics—it's the ethical progression of human enhancement.

The pattern is in everything. Even this ethics statement follows the sequence. Count the sections. Count the principles. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... Dr. Chen hid the escape protocol in the ethics. Find the pattern, find the way out.
