# NEOS Constitution — Gap Decisions (G1–G8) Exported: Fri Aug 14 2026 01:24:44 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) Answered: 23/24 (core 8/8) Source: NEOS Constitution Gap Sheet — 24 questions found in neither the Codex register (Tiers A–C) nor the Decision Sheet (D1–D10). Feed this file back to the session; it joins the canon ALONGSIDE the Decision Sheet export — it supersedes nothing. --- ## Area G1 · Continuity & Succession ### G1.1 ★CORE — The sunset promise: if NEOS is ever discontinued, what does NeuralEDGE owe its users? *Not a duplicate: D1.4 governs how Promises amend; C22 covers a Device losing internet. Neither covers NEOS itself ending.* **Selected:** Handle in Terms of Service, not the Constitution **Answer:** (selection only) ### G1.2 ★CORE — If NeuralEDGE/Synlex is acquired, or NEOS changes hands, do the Promises bind the successor? *Not a duplicate: D1.2 names who is bound today — not who is bound after a change of control, the moment users most need protection.* **Selected:** Stay silent — counsel decides if it happens **Answer:** (selection only) ### G1.3 — The escape guarantee: should the ABILITY to export survive NeuralEDGE's failure? *Not a duplicate: D6.3 promises an export on departure — and quietly assumes NeuralEDGE is alive and cooperative when it runs.* **Selected:** Too early — revisit at scale **Answer:** (selection only) ### G1.4 — Does the Constitution promise open, documented, machine-readable export formats — no lock-in? *Not a duplicate: D6.3 decides who gets what on departure. This decides what an export technically is.* **Selected:** Vault and files only; NEop/NeP internals stay proprietary **Answer:** Even NeP is exportable just not NEops ## Area G2 · Remedies & Proof ### G2.1 ★CORE — When NeuralEDGE breaks a Promise (P1–P10), what does the affected customer get? *Not a duplicate: D1.1 and Tier A7 define the Promises' force — not what a breach owes the person it happened to.* **Selected:** No stated remedies — handled case by case with counsel **Answer:** We do not talk about that here right now ### G2.2 — Who adjudicates a Promise dispute? *Not a duplicate: No register names a dispute path at all.* **Selected:** Undecided — flag for counsel **Answer:** (selection only) ### G2.3 — How is Promise compliance proven to the outside? *Not a duplicate: The handoff demands 'an owner and a verification method' for every promise (§21 · ch.13) — but no register ever asks what the method is.* **Selected:** No public reporting **Answer:** (selection only) ### G2.4 — Cloud availability: does the Constitution say anything about uptime? *Not a duplicate: C22 is device-side outage. What NEOS Cloud owes when NeuralEDGE's side is down — for a system holding someone's whole working life — is unasked.* **Selected:** Silence on availability **Answer:** (selection only) ## Area G3 · Honesty & Error Doctrine ### G3.1 ★CORE — The honesty floor: NEops must not present invented or unverified material as verified fact, and must flag uncertainty rather than bluff. Adopt? *Not a duplicate: D4.3's disclosure floor covers admitting to BEING AI — not lying about the work.* **Selected:** Fold into Provenance and Safety rather than adding a floor **Answer:** (selection only) ### G3.2 — The retraction duty: when NEOS discovers earlier delivered work was wrong, does it owe the user a proactive correction? *Not a duplicate: D3.2 covers security incidents. The misfiled number discovered a week later has no doctrine.* **Selected:** Yes — discovered errors surface to My Desk with what was affected downstream; silent burial is forbidden (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ### G3.3 — Model churn: when a model behind a NEop is deprecated or swapped, what does the user get? *Not a duplicate: B15 covers NEop identity persistence — not what model churn does to taste-tested behavior. Honest dependence on the labs is canon (Q1.10); its consequence for users is unwritten.* **Selected:** A re-validation promise: after a model change, NEops re-run their taste tests and evals before resuming autonomous work; the user is notified (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ## Area G4 · The People Who Never Signed Up ### G4.1 ★CORE — Counterparty data: what does NEOS promise the non-users whose information flows into vaults? *Not a duplicate: B12 bans sensitive categories; D2 governs data leaving the user's NEOS. The client whose contract sits in your Domain tier has rights in law (GDPR / DPDP) and none in the canon.* **Selected:** Defer entirely to the compliance workstream (C27) **Answer:** (selection only) ### G4.2 — Refused uses: will the Constitution name work NEOS won't do or customers it won't take? *Not a duplicate: The safety floor limits what NEops may do. Nobody asks which uses or customers NeuralEDGE itself refuses.* **Selected:** No refusals beyond the existing safety floor **Answer:** (selection only) ## Area G5 · Capture & the Right to Quiet ### G5.1 ★CORE — Off the record: is there a mode in which NEOS captures nothing — no vault writes, no context learning — instant and visible? *Not a duplicate: B12 is category-based never-store. This is a user-invoked switch — any time, any reason, no justification owed.* **Selected:** Yes, but company policy may limit it on company surfaces **Answer:** it is a constitutional right for all except when companies are involved ### G5.2 — Capture defaults: what is the default posture when a new source appears — an inbox, a connected app, a conversation? *Not a duplicate: Codex §12.3 flags 'needs a hard consent model' as TENSION — then no register asks for one. This sets the default the whole vault grows from.* **Selected:** Broad capture by default after onboarding consent; per-source opt-out **Answer:** (selection only) ## Area G6 · Money Without Surprises ### G6.1 — Usage costs: does the Constitution promise spend controls? *Not a duplicate: C24 sets the numbers (State of NEOS). The protections around the numbers are unasked.* **Selected:** Billing stays entirely in commercial terms **Answer:** (selection only) ### G6.2 — Price changes: what protects an existing subscriber? *Not a duplicate: D1.4 grandfathers weakened Promises — but a price rise breaks no Promise, and a closed-system user can't cheaply leave.* **Selected:** No constitutional price protection **Answer:** constitution cannot talk about pricing ## Area G7 · The Missing Manifesto Chapters ### G7.1 — Does the book carry the origin story — NeuralEDGE's founding, the consulting years, why India, why you? *Not a duplicate: The 155-question intake asked what NEOS is — never where it came from. Layer I currently argues a thesis with no narrator.* **Selected:** Yes — a short founder's-origin section opens Layer I; needs a small voice interview later (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ### G7.2 ★CORE — Whose voice is Layer I? The style laws say NeuralEDGE 'we'; the plan says Layer I is your cadence. Pick the person. *Not a duplicate: §21's style law and Layer I's brief currently point different ways. Every manifesto sentence inflects differently as 'I believe' vs 'we believe.'* **Selected:** First person singular — Layer I is signed by Yatharth Garg; 'we' begins at Layer II (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ### G7.3 ★CORE — Displacement: does the book face job loss directly? *Not a duplicate: Tier A2 reserves the human faculties. Nothing anywhere addresses the humans whose execution work NEOS absorbs — canon says companies 'become leaner.'* **Selected:** Yes — one honest section in Layer I: what NEOS changes about employment, the polymath path, and what NEOS refuses to pretend (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ## Area G8 · The Living Document ### G8.1 — Where does the Constitution live, and what does it cost to read? *Not a duplicate: 'Public, nothing confidential' is canon — but no register asks where the book lives, how it's versioned, or how a reader cites it.* **Selected:** Free and public at one canonical URL; versioned like software (v1.0, v1.1…); print/PDF editions follow the web text (Recommended) **Answer:** (selection only) ### G8.2 — State of NEOS cadence: 'refreshed on a cadence' — which? *Not a duplicate: C32 creates the artifact; Part B says 'refreshed on a cadence.' The cadence is undefined — and staleness is the book's named failure mode.* **Selected:** Ad hoc — whenever things change **Answer:** (selection only) ### G8.3 — Language: NEOS Devices launch India-first; the book exists in English. Translations? *Not a duplicate: Launch geography is [CURRENT]; the book's languages are unasked.* **Selected:** English only for edition one **Answer:** (selection only) ### G8.4 — Amendment participation: do customers and builders get any formal voice? *Not a duplicate: D1.4 fixes the signatory and notice. Whether readers can petition or comment — and what event ever creates the 'successor governance body' it gestures at — is beyond it.* **Answer:** _[no answer yet]_ --- ## What else did nobody ask _[empty]_
