+An address is the public path a Human reaches a thing at — a product's URL — and once it has been shared, linked, or indexed it becomes a durable promise rather than a disposable string. This RFC defines Durable Addressability so that changing the address of a published thing preserves the old path by redirect, rather than silently breaking every inbound link, bookmark, and citation that trusted it. It applies No Retroactive Harm to the namespace and supports Exit & Portability, treating reachability as something owed to the people on the other end of a link, not a convenience the platform may revoke.

 Every platform optimizes for something; when that target is left implicit it silently becomes engagement, GMV, or time-on-site, and the mechanics follow it into harm. This RFC makes the optimization target explicit and contestable: what does this platform actually steer toward for the Humans in it? It is the affirmative answer the other ethical concepts are in service of, and every ranking, default, and notification cadence should be traceable back to it.

 OHM is the Open *Human* Model, yet any real platform must also model things that are not humans — commerce nouns, instruments, systems. This RFC establishes how OHM may define a non-human entity at all: always in relation to the Human it serves, never as a free-standing abstraction. It is the conscious hinge on which the model broadens to hold commerce vocabulary without losing its human center, and it gives every later commerce concept a rule to be defined against.

+A reference price is any comparison a listing shows against its current selling price — a struck-through "was" price, a "compare at", an implied discount — and it is a factual claim about the past, not a persuasion device. This RFC defines Reference Pricing so that a displayed former or comparison price must reflect a genuine prior selling price for that good, never a fabricated anchor invented to manufacture the appearance of a discount. It refines Price and applies Wise Speech in Commerce and Agency & Anti-Manipulation to one specific deception — inventing the "before" in order to sell the "after" — and so protects a Human's ability to judge a deal on true information.

 A marketplace that admits any seller and any good is not neutral; it is negligent toward the Humans it exposes to fraud and danger. This RFC defines who may sell and what may be sold — prohibited, dangerous, and counterfeit goods, and scam prevention — as a duty of harm prevention distinct from after-the-fact recourse. It protects buyers and honest merchants alike.
