Number 5 is perhaps the fundamental you were thinking of.
If data on Autonomi becomes monetised then the web will end up not being free to browse. There will be broken links unless you pay the price, paywalls on every chunk. This would be a broken network.
Fundamental #5: The SAFE Network will let anyone browse content anonymously and free of charge.
It’s essential that the new decentralised web is built without barriers to entry. One of the most important foundations for a global, collaborative platform is that anyone can access public content for free at any time without having to create an account. In today’s world, you need to prove that you are authorised before you can access data: for example, if you want to set up an iTunes account, you first have to verify your identity before you’re able to use the service, plus you have to agree to their terms of service…(all 20,000 words of it). Not so on the SAFE Network. Here, everyone can browse public data without restrictions. That means public information is accessible to all, not hidden behind barriers and wordy T&Cs. Instead, it’s free to retrieve all data and information stored on the Network.
