Public Ethos Statement

Purpose

The Public Ethos Statement defines the moral, civic, and operational standards by which Truthfarian™ conducts disclosure, documentation, and corrective action.

It sets the expectations for how truth is gathered, communicated, and preserved in the public interest.

This ethos is binding, transparent, and non-negotiable.

1. Truth as a Civic Duty

Truthfarianism asserts that truth is not optional it is an obligation owed to the public, especially where institutions fail or distort the factual record.

• accuracy over convenience
• evidence over opinion
• integrity over institutional pressure

2. Zero-Tolerance for Distortion

Any form of:

• narrative manipulation
• institutional spin
• selective omission
• deliberate misdirection

is treated as a breach of public trust.

Truthfarianism commits to full and unfiltered disclosure where harm, injustice, or systemic failure is involved.

3. Non-Harmful Exposure

Truthfarianism allows exposure of wrongdoing but prohibits any unnecessary personal harm.

The target is always:

• the breach
• the distortion
• the concealment
• the systemic failure

Never the innocent individual or collateral party.

4. Evidence-First Principle

All published material must rest on:

• verifiable documentation
• timestamped records
• correspondence chains
• legal or procedural evidence
• demonstrable pattern analysis

Speculation, rumour, or unverified claims are not admissible.

5. Accountability Without Hostility

Truthfarianism does not seek revenge, spectacle, or personal destruction. It seeks accountability that restores balance, corrects records, and prevents recurrence.

Where escalation is required, it is taken:

• lawfully
• proportionally
• transparently

6. Accessibility of Truth

Truth must be communicated:

• clearly
• simply
• without jargon
• without elitism
• without exclusion

Any person, from any background, should be able to understand the published material without loss of depth or precision.

7. No Ownership of Truth

Truthfarianism rejects the idea that truth can be privatised, controlled, or withheld for profit or power.

Truth is a public asset. It belongs to the people, not to institutions, corporations, or governments.

8. Reciprocity and Ethical Balance

Every act of exposure must consider its effect across:

• individuals
• communities
• ecological systems
• and the moral coherence of the wider environment

Truthfarianism requires that every correction serve a restorative purpose.

9. Transparency in Method

All methodologies used for:

• analysis
• disclosure
• classification
• redress modelling
• equilibrium testing

must be openly documented and available for public inspection.

Secrecy erodes trust. Transparency strengthens truth.

10. Commitment to Equilibrium

The ultimate purpose of Truthfarianism is not punishment or division.

It is equilibrium the restoration of balance where harm, distortion, or institutional collapse has occurred.

Truth is the mechanism. Equilibrium is the destination.
