The hard ones.
Answered honestly.

No. gCP — the federation's bridge currency — has a 10 billion hard cap that is constitutionally unamendable, and it cannot be bought with external money or sold for it: no pre-sale, no exchange listing, no fiat gateway in either direction. Value enters by recognition and creation, and leaves by spending inside the network or migrating to another hub. There is nothing to speculate on because there is nothing to buy in or cash out. A productive economic protocol, not a meme coin.

Because two different things are being recognized. UBD recognizes existence — your inherent worth as a living being. CP recognizes contribution — the value you create through action. Mixing them collapses dignity into earnings. Separating them makes both visible.

UBI is a policy proposal usually paired with a centralized state, taxation, and inflation. The weekly dignity payment — UBD — is structural: embedded in a complete protocol with anti-hoarding caps, mandatory acceptance for basics, anti-laundering limits, and purchasing-power adjustments tuned per hub. UBI hopes governments do it. UBD makes governments unnecessary for it.

Quadratic voting (each extra vote costs more — cost grows as N², influence as √N), an experience-weight cap at ~2.5×, delegation decay of 50% per hop with a 3-hop maximum, automatic concentration alerts above 30%, 7-day voting locks on newly acquired CP, and constitutional protections that cannot be amended away. Tested in simulation: a coordinated 3-hub group holding 30% of votes — blocked, exposed, sanctioned within 12 weeks.

The Federation guarantees no human becomes stateless. 100 gCP refugee grant, 70–80% reputation transfer, immediate UBD continuity in receiving hub, all refugees placed within 30 days. The Federation reserve is sized to absorb up to 10% simultaneous federation-wide failure. Tested in simulation: 8,000 members from a failing hub, 100% relocated.

Always. The right of exit is a constitutional, unamendable provision of the protocol. Any hub that blocks departure is immediately sanctioned and faces de-recognition. 100% reputation transfers in that case. Sovereignty is real or it is nothing.

Because no one can be allowed to print more — including the protocol itself. The cap is constitutionally unamendable. Provisioned by real goods and services rather than a currency peg, gCP grows in adoption, not in supply.

Hubs choose verification methods within constitutional bounds — a cryptographic proof that you are a unique human, peer attestation, or on-device biometric. The protocol does not centralize identity. Privacy in personal matters is constitutional. Verification proves uniqueness, not who you are.

Because the difference between declaring and engineering is almost everything. A declaration changes words; an architecture changes incentives — and incentives are what people act on, day after day. HPP is the attempt to take serious philosophical intuitions (each of us has inherent worth, consent renews itself, power must separate) and encode them as verifiable rules: weekly UBD, quadratic voting, constitutional cap, 5,000 hubs × 1.6M members × 520 simulated weeks. Technology does not save society. Society decides what to do with technology. We propose a direction and publish it in full so anyone can contest it with data.

Three paths, all equal in standing. (1) Join a founding-wave hub when it opens to public verification — each hub publishes its activation window. (2) Start a Seed Cell — ten to twenty-five neighbours, with no stake of your own: a nursery — an established hub or your jurisdiction's accredited Foundation — sponsors you, mentors you and stands surety, and the stake is posted from the Federation Reserve and returns there when your cell is promoted. You earn CP on a shared circuit from day one; a geographic cell receives UBD from day one too. Thresholds gate sovereignty, never existence. (3) Build, audit, contribute to the open-source protocol itself. Choose your path on the Join page →

Yes — and which door depends on what you are. Only one of the three hub types is a place.

What you are	What you form	The terms
A co-operative, collective or guild	Operational hub — organised around work, not a place	Mints on its real sales and runs its own commons; never a home hub, pays no dignity income, draws nothing from the annual release. Starts on a one-off grant — up to 10,000 gCP in four tranches against delivered work, never repaid.
A charity or nonprofit	Paired Entity — not a hub at all	A national legal body paired one-to-one with an operational hub: takes no donations, holds no token, carries no currency term in any formula. Its members command, its board executes.
A company	Company hub	Deliberately the strictest: no home hub, no dignity income, no protocol allocation of any size, no grant. Its treasury comes from its own members' stake in tokens they already earned elsewhere.

One rule binds all three: the organisation itself is never a member — this Protocol admits only verified human beings, so an entity participates through the people in it. Type is declared once, at formation, and cannot be changed afterwards. Any of them can invoice lawfully and be paid in tokens — ordinary barter — but tax settles in ordinary money, from ordinary-money revenue, so keep that side healthy first. There is no route by which any organisation buys in.
