features are not guaranteed to remain available indefinitely.
1.10 Legacy Pledge
Pattern Realms LLC is committed to the long-term preservation of your knowledge. In the event of the
company's dissolution or long-term cessation of operations, it is our intent to make commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that the local, offline version of the Software remains functional for existing users, or
to release the source code under an open-source license. This clause represents a statement of intent to
protect user data sovereignty, not a binding guarantee of perpetual maintenance.

code and does not include future online services.

2.4 License to Host
You grant Pattern Realms LLC a license to host, store, and display your content solely to provide

To maintain a trustworthy ecosystem, content in the Knowledge Cosmos is categorized into three distinct types:
Information that is claimed and proven to be true, as well as theoretical models where all constituent elements are true and the logical structure is valid. This content must be supported by verifiable evidence, endorsed by reputable experts, or have passed a rigorous process such as scientific peer review.
This category encompasses everything else. It includes fiction, fantasy, games, simulations, unproven theories, personal opinions, and early-stage research. Everything not explicitly Trusted is Storyteller Content Knowingly mislabeling Storyteller Content as Trusted Content is a direct violation of these Terms.

infringes IP. Content deemed offensive to the board or Founder, at their sole discretion, may also be
removed.
