Claude's Constitution

A package can be printed as a standalone module in a general-purpose language that answers without the rules engine: an answer and its status, with no proof, hashes or canonical document. Everything on this page comes from the generation plan built with the index; the gallery computes nothing of its own.

Generation plan

The plan builds: the package can be printed as a module.
