# Code of Conduct

## Purpose

Hypergravity Habitat is an interdisciplinary research documentation project. Good-faith critique is essential. Contributors are expected to challenge assumptions, sources, calculations, and framing while treating other participants respectfully.

## Expected Behaviour

Participants should:

- be respectful and constructive,
- focus criticism on ideas, methods, evidence, and documents,
- welcome correction,
- disclose relevant conflicts of interest when appropriate,
- avoid promotional, unsafe, or unsupported claims,
- respect scientific, ethical, and safety boundaries.

## Unacceptable Behaviour

Unacceptable behaviour includes:

- harassment, insults, or personal attacks,
- discriminatory language,
- knowingly misleading scientific or technical claims,
- pressuring contributors to support unsafe or premature human, animal, clinical, or commercial use,
- misrepresenting exploratory material as proven evidence.

## Reporting

For now, concerns should be raised with the repository maintainer through GitHub issues or direct maintainer contact if available. As the project grows, this document should be replaced or expanded with a full governance process.

## Scientific Disagreement

Strong disagreement is welcome when it is evidence-based and respectful. A well-supported argument that the concept should be narrowed, redirected, or stopped is a valuable contribution.
