1. Purpose of the Site
The Site presents the Hermes Project framework — including its governance, regenerative finance, coherence-science research, decentralized infrastructure, and intentional community design concepts — for informational and educational purposes.

Not legal advice. References to private-jurisdiction structuring, UCC filings, PMA frameworks, or similar legal concepts describe Hermes's own organizational approach and are not legal advice for your personal situation. Consult a licensed attorney before relying on any such framework.
Not medical advice. Content referencing coherence science, bioresonance, or wellness practices is educational and not a substitute for professional medical or psychological care. Consult a licensed healthcare provider for medical concerns.
