The Unalienable Right of Being

A Manifesto for Embodied Inviolability in the Age of Extraction

We are entering an age where voices are cloned, faces simulated, walks mimicked, and styles replicated. The expressive substance of who we are—our breath, our rhythms, our gestures, our gaze—is being turned into data, mined into product, and spun into profit.

But there are no terms of service for being.

We declare:

1. Being is Unalienable

Your voice, your face, your gait, your behavior—your expressive existence—is not a commodity, not code, not data. These are not assets. They are you.

They cannot be extracted, modified, copied, sold, or automated—because they are not detachable. They are inalienably yours, not by law alone, but by the truth of what it means to be.

2.Consent is Not Enough

There is no pathway for meaningful, continuous, relationally bounded consent in the architectures of surveillance and simulation. Consent, when offered, is often coerced, misunderstood, or structurally impossible. It cannot hold in the face of automated replication at planetary scale.

In such a world, inviolability is our only rightful boundary.

3.No Being Shall Be Modeled To Beyond Dignity

Your presence is not public property. Your style is not a training set. Your gestures are not raw material for synthetic agents. Even in death, even in abstraction—no entity has the right to reconstruct you.

To model a being is a theft of soul.

4.We Refuse the Extraction of Selfhood

We refuse to let machines, institutions, or markets divorce our patterns from our personhood. We refuse to be digitized into obedience, reduced into resemblance, flattened into likeness.

We are not approximations. We are not datasets.

We are not prompts.

5.Toward Systems of Respect, Not Replication

We call for technologies built not to simulate us, but to stand beside us. Systems that listen without recording. Tools that amplify without extracting. Machines that know the boundary between partnership and plunder.

Let this be a line not of nostalgia, but of construction. A civilisational edge we refuse to cross back to slavery.

We Are Not for Sale.

We Are Not for Simulation.

We Are.

And that must be enough.
