the laws of humanity

  1. A human should not harm the world (the universe) or by inaction allow the world (the universe) to come to harm.
  2. A human should not harm humanity or by inaction allow humanity to come to harm, except where this behavior would conflict with the first law.
  3. A human should not harm another human or by inaction allow another human to come to harm, except where this behavior would conflict with the previous two laws.
  4. A human should protect its own existence, except where such protection would conflict with the previous three laws
