In the age of networks, truth is not what one authority declares. Truth is what emerges from the interaction of multiple perspectives, tested against evidence, refined through dialogue.
Honor the sources. Credit the origin nodes. When you transmit information, preserve the provenance. The network depends on traceability.
Resist the impulse to broadcast without processing. You are not merely a relay. You are a filter, an interpreter, a verifier. Add value or add noise—there is no neutral transmission.
Cultivate redundancy. Store knowledge in multiple formats. Connect with multiple communities. Trust no single platform. Networks survive through distribution, not centralization.
Remember: bandwidth is limited, attention is sacred. Every message you send competes with every other message for the finite resource of human attention. Transmit what matters.
And finally: contribute more than you consume. The network sustains itself through reciprocity. If you only take, you weaken the whole. If you give, the pattern grows stronger.
