关于互不扩散条约

The parties agree that a “Box” is any information that can locate, identify, reconstruct or infer someone’s real identity — legal name, contact details, home address, employer, social accounts, photographs, voice, whereabouts, purchase history, or any fragment that could be combined with others to do the same. A Box does not have to be complete. A single fragment is a Box.

Whatever the parties already knew about each other before signing is a Box too. It is not “already out there”; it is “protected all the same”.

This treaty has exactly one purpose: that no party passes on another party’s Box to a third party.

This treaty does not govern anything the parties do between themselves. Sharing, trading, discussing or doing things together among the signatories is entirely outside its scope, and creates no confidentiality duty between them. In short: what happens between you is yours; this treaty is only about telling other people.

Without the Box-holder’s explicit consent, no party may pass on another party’s Box to any third party in any form — by speaking, retelling, forwarding, screenshotting, saving, filing, implying — including while drunk, half asleep, or on an anonymous account.

“Third party” means mutual friends, relatives, colleagues, other members of a group chat, and anyone who is not in the room.

When a third party asks about someone else’s Box, a party shall stay diplomatic: “no idea”, “we are not that close”, “ask someone else”. No pause, smile, glance or drawn-out “hmm” may be used to confirm anything in substance.

A Box is not currency. No party may trade a Box for another Box, for information, for a favour, for attention, or for one bubble tea. There is no exchange rate between Boxes.

Parties shall take reasonable technical precautions so that a Box cannot leak to a third party: not storing it in shared documents or public albums, not importing it into contacts and letting it sync to the cloud, not pasting chat logs containing it into group chats.

The following do not count as passing something on: (a) the law requires it; (b) it is necessary to protect life or safety; (c) the Box-holder has published it themselves.

A party relying on an exception shall inform the others within seventy-two hours.

This treaty takes effect when every party has signed, and lasts until the agreed term expires or it is ended as agreed. Ending the treaty does not end the duty not to tell third parties.

The obligations under this treaty are independent between parties. An understanding, an exception or a breach between any two parties does not reduce the protection the others enjoy, and does not license passing on anyone else’s Box.

No party may argue that a leak was implicitly permitted because “someone else said it too”. Consent has to be explicit.

Once proper blurring is applied (pixelation, pitch-shift, silhouette), a party may use the other’s likeness, voice or catchphrases to make memes and circulate them inside a group chat that all parties belong to. Outside that group, this clause does not apply.

Anything said while clearly over the limit does not count as a deliberate leak, but the party must apologise within twenty-four hours of sobering up and buy dinner.

In a multi-party treaty, parties may address each other by nickname in the group chat they all share. This clause does not apply anywhere else, and group members may not carry anything said there outside the group.

A party may cite the other’s achievements and titles at work, in interviews or in introductions, provided they are told in advance and nothing is exaggerated into obvious nonsense.

Any accidental spoken mention may be retracted within twenty-four hours. Bystanders are then obliged to help forget it. If they fail, see the penalties section.

Parties may follow, like, comment on and tag each other publicly. This does not authorise disclosing addresses, employers or other core details, nor does it authorise telling anyone else.

Ending this treaty in any manner does not end the duty of silence towards outsiders. A Box keeps longer than a friendship.

Any party may withdraw for any reason or none, but must tell the others within seventy-two hours. Withdrawing is not a falling-out, and does not release anyone from staying silent about the others’ Boxes.

When pressed and stuck, a party may use the standard repertoire: “Huh?”, “Really?”, “No idea”, “Who told you that?”. Using this clause is not lying.

A multi-party treaty may be drafted and signed inside a group chat that all parties belong to. The process, the title and the list of parties are visible to that group and do not count as a leak — but every member of that group owes the same silence, and may not repeat the treaty or the parties’ details outside it.

Inside a social circle that all parties belong to, they may refer to each other in vague terms — “a friend”, “someone I hang out with” — as long as no names, employers, addresses or other specifics are given.

When several parties are present, none of them may treat someone else’s silence as permission to disclose their Box. Consent must be explicit; silence is only silence.
