Legal-ethical boundary
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
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.
