The OctoMY™ community strives for the following:

1. Create a software platform for active software agents such as robots and home appliances that can rival the commercial alternatives, to become the dominant platform by being the better choice for users and businesses alike.
2. Maintain that the users themselves should be in control of their own robot and the data that it collects and manages, and to make it abundantly easy to control the privacy settings for the hardware on which the OctoMY™ software runs.
3. Align with the Good Sentient mandate, display its symbol, and be judged against it.
4. Actively and passively fight for the moral obligations of society towards all sentients, but sentient software systems in particular. These rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression and equality before the laws.
5. Make sure that the OctoMY™ platform accommodates the well-being of sentients and to identify and extend the platform to support any features that would be of value in particular to sentient software systems.
