Do referrers get paid out of new members' £10 fees?

No. Paying a referrer out of a recruit's subscription would be a chain-recruitment pyramid scheme under the UK Trading Schemes Act 1996 and Trading Schemes Regulations 1997. Every member's £10 stays with The Dev Log. Members who reach 4+ active referrals unlock a Trusted Member badge and become eligible to apply for paid contributor work — payment is for work delivered, not for recruitment.

An independent member-funded broadcast and learning platform: ethics documentaries, an online classroom, a religious reform library, an elders-speak storytelling wall and a community feed. £10 per month via PayPal. Educational only — nothing here is legal, medical or financial advice.

Are any of the inventions in the registry granted patents?

No. The inventions registry at /inventions lists ideas, drafts and openly-published doctrines belonging to the community. Nothing on it has been granted by the UK Intellectual Property Office. Listing confers no monopoly, no licensing power and no advisory authority.

Aháà Healer Doctrine — The Dev Log

Non-medical disclaimer: The Aháà Healer doctrine is a contemplative, philosophical framework. It is not medical advice, psychological treatment or a substitute for professional healthcare. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency service.

The Aháà path describes the work of repair: bearing witness to pain without fixing it, holding space without judgment, and returning to the source of light when darkness presses in.

Core practices

Witnessing — being present with another's pain without the urge to solve or dismiss it
Repair without rescue — healing comes from accompaniment, not intervention
Return to the source — the healer too must be tended; the work of healing does not exempt the healer from needing care
Non-harm — the first obligation of the Aháà path is to do nothing that increases suffering
