1. Commitment to Life

Support life’s capacity to self-produce and self-organise.
Choosing regenerative agriculture, supporting public health, or mentoring someone’s growth—not just sustaining life, but nurturing its potential.

2. Commitment to Emergence

Respect higher-order systems and irreducible complexity.
Valuing team creativity over individual brilliance; understanding that a family, culture, or ecosystem is more than the sum of its parts.

3. Commitment to Decentralisation

Let go of rigid control and allow organic evolution.
A leader who shares power, allowing groups to self-manage. Or a parent who trusts their child’s path without micromanaging every step.

4. Commitment to Balance

Strive for dynamic harmony across systems.
Managing work and rest, consumption and regeneration, ambition and humility—tuning your life like a living system, not a machine.

5. Commitment to Ignorance

Embrace the unknown with humility and curiosity.
Admitting when you're wrong, listening deeply instead of arguing, or welcoming mystery rather than clinging to simplistic answers.

6. Commitment to Evidence

Let perception be tempered by reflection and inquiry.
Reading beyond your bubble, seeking disconfirming evidence, and adjusting your views based on what the world shows—not what you wish were true.

7. Commitment to Difference

Celebrate diversity as a source of resilience and creativity.
Supporting inclusive workplaces, protecting endangered species, or engaging with people whose views or cultures challenge your own.

8. Commitment to Curiosity

Let questions guide your life.
Taking up new learning later in life, exploring unconventional ideas with open interest, or cultivating hobbies that feed wonder.

9. Commitment to Community

Foster mutual care across all levels of life.
Building strong social bonds, supporting local networks, or recognising your impact on wider systems—from your neighbourhood to the planet.

10. Commitment to Integrity

Align internal values with external action.
Refusing to greenwash or virtue-signal. Being transparent in work, loyal in friendship, and honest with yourself—even when no one’s watching.

These commitments are not dogma. They are tools for orientation. Together, they offer an evolving code for those who seek to live meaningfully in a living world.
