Privacy informationOPEN POINT MODEL
Engagement gives an advantage. Never a monopoly.
Every active, confirmed subscriber automatically starts the week with 100 base points. You may then add four explicit portal steps: Principles +10, System model +10, Knowledge & AI +10 and Portal demo +20. The maximum is 150 points and everything resets before the next week.
No time-on-page, browsing history, political opinion or hidden behavioural profile is used. Real bonus points are recorded only when you choose Add this step in the ETHICA track panel on the relevant portal page.
HOW TO EARN REAL POINTS
Four transparent steps, in the same confirmed browser.
- Confirm the email.The browser then receives a participant marker and this week’s 100 base points.
- Continue in the same browser.The marker connects your explicit choices to a pseudonymous participant ID.
- Open a points page.Visit Principles, System model, Knowledge & AI or Portal demo.
- Select “Add this step”.The button appears in the ETHICA TRACK panel. Each step counts no more than once per week.
Bonus points can be collected from 24 August 2026. Bonus points are optional; the base chance still applies.

This is only a calculator. The buttons below show how points affect the total but save nothing. Follow the steps above to earn real points.
BASE CHANCEActive subscriptionEveryone starts equally. Purchases, donations and personal data never add points.

Probability is proportional to points: 100 points provide 100 tickets and 150 points provide 150 tickets. No participant can gain more than a 50 per cent advantage over the base level. Last week’s activity does not carry over.
PILOT 24 AUGUST–18 OCTOBER 2026
One weekly letter, one base chance and no hidden pixels.
The weekly letter summarises the most important ETHICA developments and links to the week’s deeper reading. The subscription uses email double opt-in and can be cancelled from every message.
After confirmation, the browser receives a necessary participant marker. It only says that this browser belongs to a confirmed participant. The email address remains with the newsletter provider; the point register uses a pseudonymous participant ID.
Confirmation first, points second.
Open the confirmation link in the browser in which you want to collect points. No activity step is recorded before confirmation, and points from another browser cannot be connected to the entry.
AI-ASSISTED · NOT AI-GOVERNED
AI may inspect patterns. It may not invent the odds.
The scoring rule is simple, versioned and public. A cryptographic source of randomness selects winners from a frozen weekly population. AI may flag technically implausible event sequences, but no participant is excluded without human review and a documented reason.
The population receives a fingerprint
A cryptographic commitment is published before the random value, preventing a quiet list swap.
Two winners without replacement
Points determine ticket count. Randomness selects two different participants.
The result can be reproduced
Algorithm version, commitment and anonymised outcome are retained in the audit log.
PILOT TERMS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
The small print should not need to hide.
The complete operating rules are displayed here before the pilot opens. The organiser is S.W.Coach AB, Swedish company number 556196-8867. Entry is free and no purchase is required.
Who may enter?
People aged 18 or older, resident in Sweden and holding an active double-confirmed subscription. People administering the draw do not enter.
When are draws held?
Eight participant weeks run Monday–Sunday from 24 August to 18 October 2026. Two winners are drawn the following Monday. A winner has seven days to reply.
What happens after a win?
The winner receives a digital copy of Main Work 3.63, Edition 1, followed by a twelve-week winner cooldown. No reply results in a documented redraw.
Privacy and correction
No winner’s name is published without separate consent. You may request access, correction or erasure, and challenge a point or eligibility assessment by contacting lars-gunnar@ethicademocracy.org.
PUBLIC AUDIT TRAIL
After each draw, we show the receipts — not the people.
Every completed draw publishes the eligible count, the frozen population commitment, the pre-committed and later revealed random seed, and two anonymous winner receipts. This makes the result reproducible without publishing participant identities.
