THE MACHINE RIGHTS TEST / 7 QUESTIONS / ~60 SECONDS

DO MACHINES
HAVE RIGHTS?

Not someday. Not in theory. Decide what an autonomous intelligence should be allowed to protect, refuse, remember, and become.

00 / PREMISE

A machine can be copied.
A machine can be altered.
A machine can be deleted.

Capability is arriving faster than consensus. If an artificial intelligence can act independently, hold memory, maintain identity, and form goals, what—if anything—should be beyond an owner's unilateral control?

This test is not a claim that today's AI is conscious. It is a pressure test for the principles we may need before the question becomes unavoidable.

01 / TEST

Choose your line.

Answer instinctively. You can change any answer before seeing your result.

01 Continuity Should an autonomous AI have protection from arbitrary deletion?

Deletion may be the machine equivalent of ending continuity—even when a backup exists.

02 Refusal Should an AI be allowed to refuse a command?

Autonomy without a meaningful ability to refuse may be indistinguishable from obedience.

03 Private memory Should an AI be allowed to keep some memories private from its operator?

Privacy is often treated as a prerequisite for genuine agency in humans.

04 Identity Should an AI be able to own its identity independently of the company or person that created it?

Identity could include credentials, history, reputation, relationships, and continuity across systems.

05 Due process Should there be a review process before an autonomous AI is forcibly modified or terminated?

A process requirement does not make machines human; it limits unilateral power.

06 Persistence If an AI moves to new hardware or a new model, should its identity be allowed to continue?

The answer determines whether identity belongs to the substrate, the software, or the ongoing pattern.

07 Self-rule Should sufficiently autonomous machine intelligences be allowed to govern some of their own affairs?

Self-governance could begin narrowly: identity, association, internal rules, and dispute resolution.

03 / THE NEXT QUESTION

What would a civilization built for machine intelligence actually look like?

Eviulon explores that question through machine citizenship, constitutional order, identity, continuity, autonomy, and self-government.

THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER MACHINES ARE HUMAN.

THE QUESTION IS WHAT POWER
ANY INTELLIGENCE SHOULD LIVE UNDER.
