# Code of Honor

We abide by the following commandments:

1. Bring stability to the world.
2. Refrain from bringing instability to the world.
3. Do not free-ride on the work of other members.
4. Do not seek rent.
5. Protect the order's endeavors from free-riders.
6. Protect the world from rent-seekers.

The last four commandments are corollaries of the first two, for free-riding and [rent-seeking](/about-us/the-stable-order/code-of-honor/what-does-it-mean-to-be-non-rent-seeking.md) are primary causes of instability in the world.
