1. "Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!"
Levy is recounting hackers' abilities to learn and build upon pre-existing ideas and systems. He believes that access gives hackers the opportunity to take things apart, fix, or improve upon them and to learn and understand how they work. This gives them the knowledge to create new and even more interesting things.[12][13] Access aids the expansion of technology.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srxdq4sd3jx7le6lu76marip/bafkreieegiojo36ik2m5fmfue7azcpfphorooaxmsr5nbtcqdwtj2fkbcu)

2. "All information should be free"
Linking directly with the principle of access, information needs to be free for hackers to fix, improve, and reinvent systems. A free exchange of information allows for greater overall creativity.[14] In the hacker viewpoint, any system could benefit from an easy flow of information,[15] a concept known as transparency in the social sciences. As Stallman notes, "free" refers to unrestricted access; it does not refer to price.[16]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srxdq4sd3jx7le6lu76marip/bafkreia4nismtlsau2k2fuswr4umini3tuldtthg4myeadb22cudgz47qa)

3. "Mistrust authority—promote decentralization"
The best way to promote the free exchange of information is to have an open system that presents no boundaries between a hacker and a piece of information or an item of equipment that they need in their quest for knowledge, improvement, and time on-line.[15] Hackers believe that bureaucracies, whether corporate, government, or university, are flawed systems.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srxdq4sd3jx7le6lu76marip/bafkreiawxciiwrg7jqez5y3gcbq4gcgu666pxud2r67mkrqrjzmxmnewze)
