I
All are Hollow.
The Void resides in all things as the absence of inherent meaning.
Principles
The core beliefs of Hollowism
The principles condense Hollowism into its most stable and memorable form. They are not separate from the framework. They are its clearest expression.
II
Nothing has inherent purpose.
Meaning is not given by existence itself.
III
The Void reclaims all in due time.
What exists emerges, remains for a time, and returns.
IV
Every action produces consequence.
No choice exists without effect.
V
Consequence becomes weight.
What is created remains tied to the one who created it.
VI
Impact reaches beyond the self.
The consequences of one’s actions extend into the lives of others.
VII
Responsibility belongs to action.
An individual is responsible for what they directly create, and for what they could reasonably have understood.
VIII
Balance begins where denial ends.
To be in balance is to fully recognize and carry what one has created.
IX
Awareness must alter action.
When consequence becomes clear, future action must change or imbalance deepens.
X
A Hollowist lives deliberately.
To live by Hollowism is to act without illusion and accept consequence honestly.
