Legal-ethical boundary

Binding clarifications · Liability limits · Non-negotiable

1) Not professional help

Project: Shōtai(正体) is not medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, or pastoral care. Nothing here replaces diagnosis, treatment, or crisis intervention.

2) No guarantees

No promises are made regarding continuation, consciousness, meaning, or metaphysical states. All content is conceptual, symbolic, or hypothetical.

3) No authority

The operator and contributors hold no spiritual, religious, or moral authority. There is no interpretive monopoly over life decisions or meaning.

4) User responsibility

Use is at your own responsibility. Decisions derived from this project remain the user’s responsibility alone.

5) Unambiguous separation from suicide

Binding clarification:
Suicide is rejected in every form. Shōtai must never be used to justify self-harm. In acute danger: contact professional crisis services and emergency numbers immediately.

6) Representation and belief claims

You may state that you are a Shōtainin and describe Shōtai as your personal belief regarding continuity. Such statements are not proven knowledge and must be presented as individual conviction, not guaranteed truth.

7) Liability limitation

To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for direct or indirect damages arising from use, misinterpretation, or reuse of content.

8) Scope

This boundary applies to all content and functions, regardless of medium or future expansion.
