Rule Register: Relationships And Care

R19 / Treat Relationships As Ends As Well As Support

Type: Value commitment. When: When work or financial plans affect trust, reciprocity or shared life.

Action: Listen accurately, make agreements explicit and repair avoidable harm. Include the other person in decisions that affect their obligations.

Exception or boundary: Relationships cannot be valued only by their earning potential. Trust need not require unlimited disclosure or access.

Check: Mutually chosen indicators of agreement quality and unresolved conflict; no monetary relationship score. Basis: Charter.

R20 / Maintain Honest And Proportionate Boundaries

Type: Value commitment. When: When privacy, safety, negotiation or repeated conflict is involved.

Action: State limits clearly where feasible, protect sensitive information and use appropriate support. Separate verified conduct from assumed motives.

Exception or boundary: Cooperation does not require tolerating harm. Defensive tactics must remain within the ethical commitments of R01.

Check: Boundary clarity, actual incidents and effectiveness of the agreed response. Basis: Charter; S00 revision.

R21 / Make Health And Care Real Constraints

Type: Value commitment. When: When a plan depends on additional hours, risk or unpaid labor.

Action: Document sustainable hours, caregiving coverage, accessibility and effects on others. Decline plans that require unavailable capacity.

Exception or boundary: A less profitable option can be preferred for health, dignity or care. Financial arithmetic cannot decide those values for the household.

Check: Hours available, care coverage, access requirements and self-defined limits. Basis: Charter; case C03.
