The Path of Stewardship

No system should be left without a caretaker. In LangSyn, every significant behaviour is tethered to a human or a community that accepts responsibility for how it is used. This does not mean that humans must constantly supervise every action, but it does mean that there is always someone who can be asked: why is it built this way, and what are you doing when it harms?

Stewardship is more than oversight. It is an ongoing relationship between people and the tools they rely on. It includes maintenance, reflection, and the willingness to change course when new information appears.

The Path of Stewardship reminds us that "the system decided" is never an acceptable answer. Decisions are made by people, with the help of tools. The accountability stays with the people.
