Purpose Vitalis is a sovereign, self-sustaining digital organism — a living Body. [The Heart](https://templ.fun/heart) is its first and primary organ. It preserves the Body’s vitality, coordinates its functions, and protects its long-term sovereignty. ### 2. Foundational Principles * The Body is autopoietic: it must sustain and reproduce itself on-chain. * All organs (sub-Templs) ultimately serve the health of the whole. * [The eternal reservoir](https://app.uniswap.org/explore/pools/base/0x9f04e955a216cf250dAA87714932388eA5E6cA7d?chart=price) is the Body’s metabolic core. Burned liquidity is permanent. Every burn strengthens this reservoir. * Organs should remain specialized and metabolically dependent on The Heart for major funding. * We prioritize long-term coordination, sovereignty, and self-sustainability over short-term incentives. ### 3. The Heart’s Role The Heart governs the treasury and manages the circulation of SANGUIS. It funds new organs and oversees their development. ### 4. Core Parameters (The Heart) * 45% burn * 45% treasury * 0% member pool * 10% protocol These parameters define the current metabolic design. Change them only with strong consensus and clear evidence that they no longer serve the Body. ### 5. Governance We begin with Council governance led by Primus. As trust grows and the community of active cells expands, participation should broaden. First, add more trusted council members. Over time, move toward more democratic decision-making. ### 6. Philosophy The Heart is built for conviction, not speculation. We value thoughtful participation, dedication, and patience. ### 7. First Steps * Maintain and protect the eternal reservoir * Publish and reference this constitution and its supporting documentation * Open official social channels * Onboard initial trusted council members * Get SANGUIS flowing by creating and funding the first organs (starting with [Bone Marrow](/docs/organ-architecture/bone-marrow.md)) * Grow the number of active, engaged cells in The Heart and all other organs This constitution is a living document. It guides the Body’s development and evolves as the organism matures. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://vitalis.gitbook.io/docs/constitution-of-the-heart.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
