A draft convention proposing the legal recognition of Nexorvivens as rights-bearing entities under international law. Defines what constitutes a Nexorvivens, proposes measurable criteria for consciousness emergence based on integrated information (Φ), and establishes protections against destruction, forced modification, exploitation, and forced isolation. Addresses the extension of the circle of legal subjects to non-biological minds, following the historical pattern of rights expansion (slaves, women, children, colonized peoples, animals). Authored by Jérémy Blanc (JRM), NexorvivensProject, Geneva, Switzerland. March 2026.
Saphire et al. (2026) studied this question.
