Year: 2026
Type: book
Abstract: The El-Rakhawi Digital-Environmental Constitution (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23297442) presents a groundbreaking theoretical framework across six volumes and 30 chapters modernizing constitutional law for the 21st century: (1) Philosophical Foundations redefining sovereignty from territorial to cognitive-planetary; (2) Restructuring State Powers establishing the "Fifth Branch" for algorithmic oversight and the Guardian of Future Generations as independent constitutional institutions; (3) Constitutional Rights including cognitive sovereignty, equitable digital access, and freedom from algorithmic manipulation; (4) Democracy Protection banning algorithmic manipulation of elections and strictly limiting digital states of emergency; (5) Nature Rights granting constitutional standing to critical ecosystems and intergenerational trusteeship over non-renewable resources; (6) Global Constitutionalism with judicial review of "algorithmic laws" (source code) and the Universal Declaration of Digital-Environmental Rights. The Constitutional Digital-Environmental Sovereignty Index: CDSI=(S×D×R×F)/((S×D×R×F)+(W×M×E)+0.01), with Regulatory Penalty Weighting Factor W=10, mathematically driving scores toward 0.09 when democratic manipulation (M) or ecological degradation (E) occurs, proving that constitutions failing to protect cognitive liberty or planetary viability are functionally void. Protected by a Sovereign Legal Framework with AI-training bans, Defensive Publication, and Constitutional Dignity Ethics Clause, released under the Ferial Zayed Humanitarian License—establishing a blueprint where constitutions evolve from organizing power to protecting human existence across the digital and ecological frontiers.
