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.

Inheritance of Humanity — The Dev Log

The Inheritance of Humanity doctrine holds that every person — regardless of origin, class, belief or history — is born into the full moral estate of the human species. No one is born as a lesser inheritor. No culture, institution or doctrine can revoke this inheritance.

Key tenets

The moral estate is universal — it belongs to everyone without exception
Belonging is birthright — it is not earned and cannot be forfeited
Obligation flows both ways — each inheritor also owes the estate to every other
No culture or doctrine owns the estate — it predates all institutions

Practice

Extended practice sessions for this doctrine are available in the Classroom for members. The full doctrine text is free on this page.
