PURPOSE OF THE SXS

The SXS serves a number of functions which are critical to both the day to day operations and the long term success of the international synthesis movement. The foremost purpose of the SXS, and the ultimate and most comprehensive statement of its mission, can be found in the Xenophyte Code. The first and most important element of the Xenophyte Code states that: "A Xenophyte believes that maximizing the survivability of the human species is the highest value." Towards this end, the SXS is tasked with identifying, compiling, and promulgating the most functional ideology, or the social, economic political, legal and theological philosophy that will prove maximally conducive to the survivability of the species.

The SXS is further tasked with recruiting and organizing supporters of the Xenophyte philosophy; helping these supporters get elected to public office, or appointed to government posts; establishing governments on the basis of this philosophy; instituting social, economic, political, legal and theological reforms based upon this philosophy; drafting and passing legislation which is consistent with this philosophy; drafting, instituting or reforming constitutions to bring them into closer accord with the party's natural law doctrine; or in order to bring them into closer accord with other elements of the party philosophy; providing technical assistance and funding for members who run for office; soliciting funds and conducting all necessary business for the above functions.

The SXS also clarifies and promulgates matters of doctrine; it communicates information that is critical to the party's mission, it distributes organizational directives; policies and procedures governing Synthesis Parties and affiliated organizations; it serves as the source of standard interpretations of the party doctrine, and it serves as the arbiter of last resort in settling disputes over the party doctrine.

The SXS is also tasked with chartering, denying, or revoking the charters of Synthesis Parties and affiliated organizations around the world. As such, it either affirms or denies the status of these organizations as official representatives of the SXS. In addition, as the de facto headquarters of the International Synthesis Party, the SXS performs the following functions:

1) To keep records and chronicle all major developments and events within Synthesis Parties around the world.
