# Six Principles
|
|
|
|
The Six Principles are the immutable covenant of OpenYield (REQ-001). They
|
|
are **Mission-locked**: no Council can amend them, and the fee covenant is
|
|
locked alongside them. The mesh exists to hold real production, not
|
|
speculation; everything else follows from that.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Real value
|
|
|
|
The mesh holds **real production**. The Bread unit is the unit of real value
|
|
held in the Storage Pools; the bond market caps coupons so the mesh cannot
|
|
become a speculation engine. "Real return" is the metric, not a nominal rate.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Sustainability
|
|
|
|
Fees are floored and capped. The fee covenant fixes a ceiling and a floor
|
|
(see the Fee Covenant module), and the 1-Grain internal minimum prevents dust
|
|
games. The protocol cannot drain its users, and it cannot starve its
|
|
Watchers.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Mission-lock
|
|
|
|
The Six Principles and the fee covenant are immutable. No Council — Mesh,
|
|
Guild, or Stand — can amend them. Mission Lock is a `const` in the council
|
|
module, and an invariant test asserts it can never be set to amendable. The
|
|
coupon cap on bonds is a mission-locked ceiling, not a parameter a Council
|
|
can tune.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Openness
|
|
|
|
Anyone may join. The mesh is a public good. A Holder needs only a Reach (an
|
|
identity) and a Stash (a storage pool) to begin; there is no gatekeeper and
|
|
no custodian.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Ownership
|
|
|
|
Holders own their Stash and their Reach. Custody is theirs: the Stash is the
|
|
Holder-level storage pool, the Vault is the Stand-level pool, and the
|
|
Root-Pool is the treasury. The protocol does not custody user value; it
|
|
holds the canonical state that records who owns what.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Self-service
|
|
|
|
A Holder can act without a custodian. The Window primitive lets a Holder
|
|
delegate a scope-bounded, time-limited, revocable capability to a partner or
|
|
a service; the bearers (OY-LR, OY-BLE, OY-WiFi-Direct, OY-SAT, OY-QR) let a
|
|
Holder reach the mesh without a phone plan or a custodial on-ramp. The mesh
|
|
is jurisdiction-light by design.

See the [Vision](vision.md) for the covenant in brief, or the
|
|
[Lexicon](lexicon.md) for why the docs say "real production" and "Holder"
|
|
rather than the words a legacy financial institution would use. |
