ECONOMIC_SOVEREIGNTY
Every unit of economic value must have a traceable origin, owner and reason.
System Constitution · v1.1.0
Rules can evolve.
History cannot.
The Constitution is the highest economic rule layer of Bitconomy. New value must have a traceable cause, ownership changes must leave a record, and economic history is append-only.
Constitutional principles
Human-readable commitments backed by machine rules.
CONSERVATION_OF_VALUE
Economic mutations must map to a defined operation class and must not create hidden value.

Economic history is append-only. Corrections are new events, never rewrites.
NO_ADMIN_MAGIC
Administrative actions remain subject to the same ledger and constitutional rules as player actions.
RULES_EVOLVE_HISTORY_DOES_NOT
Rules may evolve through versioned amendments; recorded history is never rewritten.
Economic invariants
Runtime rules block invalid writes; audit rules continuously verify world state.
CONSTITUTION_RULE_HASH
The active constitution version must match the deployed machine-readable rule hash.
LEDGER_EVENT_WELL_FORMED
Every new ledger event must have valid identity, amount, unit, reason and operation classification.
LEDGER_CHAIN_INTACT

LEDGER_DB_APPEND_ONLY
Database-level UPDATE and DELETE guards should protect the immutable ledger.
USER_CREDIT_NON_NEGATIVE
Player credit balances may not be negative.
CLAN_BUDGET_NON_NEGATIVE
Clan treasury balances may not be negative.
INVITATION_BACKING_CONSERVED
