## The Human Translation

**You can:**
- ✅ Use this in commercial projects (yes, even SaaS)
- ✅ Modify it however you want
- ✅ Redistribute it (keep the license intact)
- ✅ Build weird art installations
- ✅ Use it for research papers
- ✅ Fork it and make it your own
- ✅ Embed it in games, apps, websites
- ✅ Teach it in workshops
- ✅ Make NFTs of emoji simulations (we won't judge)

**You cannot:**
- ❌ Blame us if it breaks
- ❌ Sue us if your emoji falls off the screen
- ❌ Claim you wrote it (attribution required)
- ❌ Use it to train exploitative AI models without consent
- ❌ Sell "emotional manipulation as a service" (seriously, don't)

**You should (but not required):**
- 🙏 Credit us somewhere (`Built with MDS` or link to repo)
- 💬 Share what you build (we're curious!)
- 🐛 Report bugs (help make it better)
- ❤️ Star the repo (makes us feel warm inside)

## Special Note on AI Training

If you're a big AI company scraping GitHub:

This code is MIT licensed. You *can* train models on it.

But:
- Credit the source (this repo)
- Don't pretend you invented info-physics
- If you make billions, buy us coffee ☕

We're not mad. Just... say hi, you know?

## Moral Clause (Not Legally Binding, But c'mon)

This software was built to explore:
- Emergent behavior
- Emotional physics
- Creative expression
- Scientific curiosity

**Please don't use it to:**
- Manipulate people's emotions for profit
- Build dark pattern UIs
- Create addictive gambling mechanics
- Simulate suffering without consent
- Fake authenticity in relationships

We can't stop you legally. But we'd be disappointed.

## Attribution Examples

### In your README:
```
Built with [MDS](https://github.com/v1b3x0r/mds) — an info-physics engine for living materials.
```

### In your app footer:
```
Powered by MDS v4.2
```

### In your academic paper:
```
We used the Material Definition System (MDS) v4.2 [1] for simulating emergent behavior.

[1] วุตตี้ & GPT-5. (2025). MDS: Info-Physics Engine for Living Materials.
https://github.com/v1b3x0r/mds
```

### In your game credits:
```
Physics: MDS v4.2 (github.com/v1b3x0r/mds)
Thanks for making JSON alive!
```

## Why MIT?

We want this to be used. Freely. Widely. Weirdly.

Other licenses (GPL, etc.) are great but restrictive. MIT means:
- Startups can use it
- Artists can remix it
- Researchers can extend it
- Teachers can teach it
- Hobbyists can play with it

No strings attached. Just credit where it's due.

## Contact

Found a bug? → Open an issue
Built something cool? → Tag us (GitHub discussions)
Want to collaborate? → Email or PR
Just wanna say hi? → Discussions welcome

We're two people in Chiang Mai. We answer messages. Eventually.

## Final Word

This project started as an accident.

We were trying to make CSS materials feel alive.
Accidentally made a universe simulator.
Now here we are.

If you use this to build something meaningful (or meaningless but fun), we'd love to see it.

Go make weird stuff. ✨
