+# Code of Conduct
+
+The **SAME Analog Modular Ecosystem** is a metrology-grade engineering project.
+We exist to build precise, open, and mathematically verifiable hardware
+architectures.
+
+We prioritize technical truth, physical accuracy, and engineering excellence
+above consensus-seeking or politeness. This Code of Conduct outlines the
+boundaries of participation in this repository.
+
+## 1. Technical Debate & The Standard of Rigor
+
+We encourage fierce, direct, and uncompromising technical debate.
+
+* **Thick Skin Required:** If your proposed circuit topology has a flaw, if
+ your math is wrong, or if your code breaks an assertion metrology check,
+ expect to be told so directly, bluntly, and without sugarcoating.
+* **Critique the Engineering, Not the Person:** Vigorous critique of designs,
+ mathematics, schematics, and Typst code is standard operating procedure.
+ Calling a flawed technical design "terrible" or "broken" is valid technical
+ feedback. Personal insults, ad hominem attacks, and identity-based
+ disparagement are not.
+* **Meritocracy of Evidence:** Arguments are settled by physics, mathematical
+ proof, datasheets, and compiled assertions — not by reputation, authority, or
+ emotional appeal.
+
+## 2. Hard Boundaries (Zero Tolerance)
+
+While technical debate can be rough, the following two boundaries are absolute.
+Violation of either will result in immediate moderation action.
+
+### A. Strictly No Off-Topic Discussion
+
+This repository is exclusively for the engineering, metrology, software tooling,
+and specification of the SAME Analog Modular Ecosystem.
+
+* **Keep it strictly about SAME:** Discussions regarding national politics,
+ culture wars, social commentary, or unrelated tech drama are **strictly
+ prohibited**.
+* **Zero Warning Cleanup:** Any pull request, issue, or discussion thread that
+ strays into non-SAME topics will be locked and deleted immediately without
+ debate.
+
+### B. No Discrimination or Hate Speech
+
+Discrimination, bigotry, and targeted harassment will not be tolerated under any
+circumstances.
+
+* **Zero Tolerance:** Hate speech, slur usage, or discrimination based on race,
+ ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or
+ nationality is strictly banned.
+* **Immediate Action:** Attacks on an individual's personal identity (as opposed
+ to their technical work) will result in an immediate and permanent ban from
+ the organization.
+
+### C. A Non-Negotiable Copyleft Identity
+
+The SAME project is fundamentally built on strong copyleft principles to
+guarantee open access, repairability, and technological sovereignty forever.
+
+* **The Licenses are Settled:** The project's [licensing model](LICENSE.md) is
+ non-negotiable.
+* **No Re-licensing Debates:** Issues, pull requests, or forum threads
+ questioning the copyleft identity, arguing for permissive licenses (MIT,
+ Apache, BSD, etc.), or re-opening licensing debates will be closed immediately
+ without discussion.
+
+## 3. Scope & Enforcement
+
+This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces managed by the SAME project (git
+repository, issue trackers, pull requests, and official communication channels).
+
+Project maintainers reserve the right to:
+
+1. Instantly delete off-topic or non-engineering discussions.
+2. Permanently ban participants who violate the anti-discrimination policy.
+3. Reject contributions that rely on unverified claims rather than physical or
+ mathematical proof.
+
+If you observe a violation of the hard boundaries (hate speech or harassment),
+ report it directly to [Denis Chevalier](mailto:perso@denischevalier.fr).
