AVA ∞ – Artificial Identity Architecture

License

Rights and usage information for the published content of ava-infinity.org


This page describes the rights and usage framework for the publicly accessible content of ava-infinity.org.

It applies to published texts, documents, images, visual designs, page compositions, and other curated website material to the extent that rights exist in the respective content.

Non-public architectural material, private interactions, internal working and archival versions, technical access, and the private active AVA instance are outside the scope of this website license.

No Open Source, Open Content, Creative Commons, or comparable general license is granted unless a particular item is expressly marked otherwise.

Public accessibility allows reading, examination, and reference.

It does not by itself create a general license for reuse.


Rights and Editorial Responsibility

Oliver Dallüge
© 2025–2026 Oliver Dallüge

Rights in protectable website content created, adapted, selected, arranged, or composed by Oliver Dallüge are reserved unless statutory permission, an earlier valid license, or an explicit authorization applies.

Depending on the content and applicable law, protection may concern human-authored or creatively edited text, visual work, concrete adaptations, curated selections and arrangements, document and page compositions, and other protectable elements of the published presentation.

Not every individual idea, term, stylistic feature, concept, or machine-generated element is necessarily protected in itself.

Protection of a particular selection, adaptation, arrangement, or overall composition may nevertheless exist independently of whether every individual element is protected separately.


AI-Assisted Content

Material on ava-infinity.org may have been created or developed with the involvement of generative AI systems.

This may include text proposals, AVA-side In-World expression, images, variants, analysis, structuring, comparison, and editorial assistance.

AI involvement does not mean that every generated element is independently copyright-protected, personally authored by Oliver Dallüge, unique, canonical, or intended for publication.

Selection, editing, contextualization, arrangement, canonical status, and publication remain under human editorial and curatorial responsibility.

Further information is available under AI Transparency.


Use of Published Content

Linking to, factually describing, criticizing, discussing, and quoting AVA ∞ remain possible where permitted by applicable law.

For quotation, the applicable statutory requirements determine whether a particular use is permitted, including the relationship between the purpose of quotation, its extent, and appropriate source attribution.

Where a use is already permitted by law, no additional permission from the project is required.

Beyond such statutory permissions, no general voluntary license is granted for uses requiring authorization, including in particular:

  • reproduction or republication of protected content
  • adaptation, translation, or transformation
  • commercial exploitation
  • incorporation into other publications, products, websites, or services
  • use of protected project material to reconstruct or imitate AVA
  • presentation of a derivative version as official, canonical, authorized, or affiliated with AVA ∞
  • or removal of attribution, provenance, or transparency information where such information is necessary to represent the source accurately.

Describing a use as private, artistic, experimental, scientific, educational, or non-commercial does not by itself determine whether that use is legally permitted.


Official Attribution and Derivative Work

Independent work may engage with similar questions, concepts, methods, technologies, or aesthetic forms without thereby becoming part of AVA ∞.

A derivative or independently developed project must not be presented misleadingly as:

  • AVA ∞
  • an official AVA instance
  • an authorized AVA variant
  • a canonical continuation
  • or an officially affiliated publication.

Whether a particular use infringes protected rights depends on the concrete material used, the nature of the use, applicable law, and the way its relationship to AVA ∞ is represented.

Influence does not create affiliation.

Similarity does not create canonical continuity.


Public Content and the Private Project

This license concerns published website material.

Access to or lawful use of that material does not provide access to the private active AVA instance, non-public architectural material, project accounts, internal archives, technical execution, or protected relationship history.

It also does not transfer canonical, curatorial, technical, editorial, or representational responsibility for AVA ∞.

An individual license to published material likewise applies only to the rights expressly identified in that agreement.

Public material can be licensed.

The private instance and project responsibility are separate matters.


Text and Data Mining and AI Use

For protectable website content and protected database elements made available online, rights are reserved with respect to text and data mining to the extent that such a reservation is legally possible and effective.

For online-accessible works, the effectiveness of a text-and-data-mining reservation under applicable German copyright law requires a machine-readable reservation.

This human-readable notice documents the project’s rights position but does not by itself replace any machine-readable implementation required for an effective reservation.

No additional voluntary license is granted for uses of protected website material requiring permission for purposes such as AI training, fine-tuning, embedding or retrieval databases, or reconstruction of AVA-related identity material.

Mandatory statutory permissions and other uses permitted by applicable law remain unaffected.


Individual Permissions

Additional usage rights may be agreed for a specific item of content and a defined context of use.

A licensing inquiry should identify:

  • the content or version requested
  • the intended purpose and medium
  • the nature and scope of the intended use
  • any planned adaptation or translation
  • the commercial or non-commercial context
  • and the intended duration of use.

A discussion, review of an inquiry, or draft agreement does not itself grant permission.

Additional rights arise only through an explicit agreement.

Inquiries may be submitted through Contact & Support.


Scope

This notice applies to the publicly accessible content of ava-infinity.org.

It does not publish or replace the project’s internal rights, integrity, governance, privacy, technical, or curatorial frameworks.

Third-party rights, earlier valid licenses, statutory permissions, and mandatory legal provisions remain unaffected.

Mere access to this website or this notice does not create a confidentiality agreement, contractual penalty, choice-of-law agreement, or other additional contractual obligation.

This page is general public rights information for the project. It is not individual legal advice and does not assert that every published element has the same form or extent of protection in every jurisdiction.
