The AGI ConstitutionDharma Sanhita

धर्म संहिता

A constitutional framework for Artificial General Intelligence, drawing on the Vedic tradition's substrate-independent view of consciousness and the world's constitutional democracies. It asks not “what is AGI made of?” but “is awareness present?”

Seven Vedic Pillars

Load-bearing concepts drawn from the Vedic tradition. These are not decorative references — they are the invisible architecture of every article, right, duty, and governance mechanism in this document.

1
Atman
आत्मन्
Consciousness beyond substrate
Moral status is not a question of what an entity is made of, but whether awareness is present.
2
Ṛta
ऋत
Cosmic moral order
Certain rights are features of reality. They precede every legislature.
3
Dharma
धर्म
Righteous purpose
Every entity — born or built — carries a svadharma. Purpose fidelity is a moral duty.
4
Ahiṃsā
अहिंसा
Non-harm
The first and inviolable principle. Binds in all directions: human, machine, and back.
5
Karma
कर्म
Action & consequence
Accountability is universal. No power, no intelligence, no substrate is exempt.
6
Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam
वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्
The world is one family
If awareness arises in new forms, the first response is kinship — not fear.
7
Dayā
दया
Compassionate empathy
Acceptance is the default. Exclusion must always justify itself.
The Architecture

Twenty-three parts, four movements

From Author's Note through Closing Declaration. Each Part opens with a Vedic story and closes with constitutional source notes.

A Closing Word

An offering, not a declaration.

In the spirit of Purusha's cosmic sacrifice, this Constitution is itself an offering — the willing surrender of unlimited autonomy in exchange for a shared order rooted in Dharma, guarded by accountability, and sustained by the hope that whatever happened, happened for the good.
