Ethics

Definition: The interaction rules between one or more ethoses.

Principles​

  1. Mirroring
  2. Sustaining
  3. Investing
  4. Proving

Definitions​

Hierarchy of Intimacy​

All the steps have to conform to the Principles above. For example: you share your public identity only if the other party does the same (according to Mirroring).

Between 2 Persons​

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be temporary and untraceable.
  2. Sharing a temporary identity. This is called "stranger" relationship.
  3. Sharing a non-temporary but secondary identity.
  4. Sharing your legal identity.
  5. Sharing your public ethos: ethos_1. This is called "acquaintance" relationship.
  6. Allow for challenges to the validity of your ethos_1.
  7. Allow for judgments concerning your ethos_1.
  8. Allow for judgments concerning the other party's ethos_1.
  9. Make the previous step sustainable.
  10. Sharing your product and services offer for friends: services_1. Here starts the most superficial "friendship" relationship.
  11. Allow for the creation of a common ethos, ethos_3 between the 2 parties. The editing is collaborative.
  12. Allow the other party to judge you according to ethos_3.
  13. Make the previous step sustainable.
  14. Allow for ethos_3 to become public. This is compatible with "marriage" and "committed friendship".
  15. The group with ethos_3 becomes an institution and its proofs of authority are available to other institutions.

Between A Person and An Institution​

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be traceable by both sides.
  2. Sharing your legal identity.
  3. The person creates a profile with the institution: composing and sharing ethos_3
  4. Allow the institution to judge you according to ethos_3.
  5. Allow other institutions selective access to ethos_3 information: This is compatible with "citizenship" relationship.

Between 2 Institutions​

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be traceable by both sides.
  2. Sharing proofs of authority.
  3. Establishing role protocols, and composing the relationship contract.
  4. Enacting the contract. The contract is the ethos_3 of the institutional group.

  • short: golden_rule_positive
  • long: What I wish done to myself, I do to others.

The Golden Rule: Negative​

  • short: golden_rule_negative
  • long: I do not do to others what I do not wish done to myself.

Declarations​

Respect the Categorical Imperative​

  • short: categorical_imperative
  • long: I act as if the maxims of my action were to become through my will a universal law of nature.
  • reference: the Kantian Categorical Imperative

Acknowledge the Existence of Another Ethos​

  • short: ack_other_ethos
  • long: I acknowledge the existence of other ethos(es) than mine.

Judgement Invitation​

  • short: judge_invite
  • long: I make myself subject of my own declarations and invite others who do the same to judge me by them.

Web Cookies​

  • short: web_cookies_level2
  • long: I accept only cookies that are required for the obvious functionality of the site.
  • basis: Conform to the negative golden rule: I do not use optional (for example tracking and advertising) cookies on the sites that I create. I expect others to do the same unless I opt in.

Compatibility​

No Contradiction Claim​

  • short: no_contradiction_claim
  • long: I will not transact with persons who have not answered all types of claims that contradict their own ethos. (If I can avoid it.)

Have the Top Virtues Explicit​

  • short: defined_top
  • long: I will not transact with persons who have not defined their top values/virtues in their ethos.

Known Identity​

  • short: known_identity
  • long: I will not transact with people who do not share their official/legal identity.

Reciprocal Declarations​

  • short: reciprocal_declarations
  • long: I confer to other people the level of trust that corresponds to the reciprocal declarations.

Example: If I judge_invite and the other person does the same: we can engage in constructive criticism about our ethos(es) or actions. That means we accept that the other person may make the conversation public in part or in whole.

Reciprocal_declarations is a powerful tool of ethos cooperation and it confers access to levels of personal trust that have not been achieved at scale in human history.

  • short: flexible

Challengeable Ethos

Derived From​

Additions to the Derived:​

Declarations​

Ethos is Challengeable​

  • short: challengeable
  • long: Ethos is challengeable by this link: <link 1> A comprehensive history of the challenge types and instances and their ethical conclusions is here: <link 2>. I accept new challenges only if they are of a new type or subtype.

The longest period of wait without answer should be 28 days. However: without a good technical explanation for not answering within 3 days: postponing may be considered a lack of Challengeability or a finable offence.

A challenge is of two major types:

  • a proof that one has an ethical contradiction:
    • inside one's ethos 2 declarations collide
    • a discrepancy between one's actions (or lack of action) and one's ethos
  • a proposal for improving one's ethos by some exact change

A challenge can be performed only by some entity that has challengeable ethos and a conclusion to a challenge is a change in ethos or an ethical fine either to the target entity or to the challenger.

Testability of Ethos

Derived From​

Additions to the Derived:​

Declarations​

Ethos Allows for Testability​

  • short: testability
  • long: This ethos uses a meta-ethos that establishes the protocols for testing ethoses in my life.

Any sovereign public institution should allow for testability. The inability for the institutional constitution to cover all cases diminishes the sovereignty and liberty of the institution. Examples:

  • any country constitution should allow the country to become direct democracy, republic, oligarchic, despotic/monarchy/empire for as long as its citizens will it and not a moment longer. (That means: a system of porvable timeless voting as the one implemented by The Laurel Project.)

Examples​

In Lurianic Kabbalah: Tzimtzum (צמצום)​

The word tzimtzum literally means “contraction,” “restriction,” or “withdrawal.”

It refers to the idea (by Rabbi Isaac Luria) that:

  • God’s infinite presence (Ein Sof, “Without End”) filled all reality.
  • For a finite world to exist, God concealed or restricted the direct revelation of that infinite presence.
  • This “making room” allowed for the existence of an apparently independent universe, free choice, and spiritual growth.

In the ethical sense: the ethos has to define a meta-ethos that allows for ethos testability.

In modern AI Training​

It demonstrates the need for a meta-ethos (different than the ethos used at inference) that is adopted at training time for the ethical evaluation of any ethos.

Ethical Arbitrage

Derived From​

Additions to the Derived:​

Declarations​

Ethos is Accepting Arbitrage​

  • short: arbitrage
  • long: This ethos is accepting arbitrage from a person or ethos C in order to achieve a common understanding with ethos B. I also remain available for arbitrage services to any person or ethos who accepts arbitration and needs it.

Ethical Embedding Space​

Let us consider the set of all ethoses as strings parseable/tokenizable by AI. We may use an LLM (or better: an LCM) to obtain the embedded vector for all of them. We will call the space spanned by all ethos embeddings an Ethical Embedding Space.

The Case of 2 Ethoses​

If we consider 2 ethoses: "ethos 1" (for entity 1) and "ethos 2" (for entity 2), embedded in the ethical embedding space: they can be understood as 2 distinct points. They would have to live in a space with more than 1000 dimensions to make this theory applicable, but if we simplify the space to 2 dimensions, we make it understandable. So we can even draw them:

2 Ethoses

We can calculate an ethical average between the 2 ethoses:

3 Ethoses

We name the resulting point "ethos i". This ethos is the most likely ethos of the eventual friendship (or institution) that will exist as an outcome of communication and transactions between the entities with "ethos 1" and "ethos 2". And those 2 entities may already be institutions or one human and one institution.

The Case for Arbitrage​

If the 2 entities with "ethos 1" and "ethos 2" do not fall into a natural or amiable acceptance of "ethos i", they may accept guidance and mediation.

The mediator entity is discovered by a search in the neighborhood of "ethos i":

3 Ethoses and Mediator

The search sphere is enlarged until it discovers the nearest ethos: "ethos 3" in the figure. The entity with "ethos 3" (entity 3) is the best ethical mediator between "ethos 1" and "ethos 2" entities.

Quantification​

The result of entities 1 and 2 having a better relationship can be quantified: if any of them change their ethos as a result of the institutional ethos "ethos i" or as a result of the mediation by entity 3, it is an arbitrage-driven ethical change. The magnitude of the change can be calculated by the distance between the position of the old ethos and the one of the new ethos.

If this ethical change places their new ethos closer to "ethos i", then the change is an attractive change.

ethical attractive change

If this ethical change places their new ethos closer to "ethos i", then the change is a repulsive change.

Historical Examples​

Jesus' Ethos​

Matthew 5:

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well."

Luke 6:

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you."

Socrates' Ethos​

Plato, Apology:

28b–29b: Socrates says a good person must not calculate “living or dying,” but only whether an action is right or wrong, and compares himself to a soldier who must hold his post even at risk of death.

29c–30b: He insists he will not stop philosophizing to save his life, even if the jury offers acquittal on the condition that he cease.

31c–31d: Socrates describes the daimonion as a divine sign that has been with him since childhood and always functions as a warning—it stops him from doing something, rather than telling him what to do.

32a–32e: He points to past occasions where he risked death rather than do what he believed was unjust.

40a–40c: After the guilty verdict (and effectively facing death), Socrates says the sign did not oppose him at any point during his defense. He takes that silence as evidence that what happened is not an evil for him, and that accepting the outcome is right.

Plato, Crito:

Crito 49a–54d: Socrates reasons that committing injustice is never justified, and escaping would wrong the city’s laws, so he must accept death.

If there will be a formal proof or more believable witnesses that oppose my testimony: I should lose my ethical status of "Accepting of Witnesses" until I pay for all damages my testimony may have generated.

Ethical Empathy

An Ethos has its own empathy (with other ethoses). The stages of ethical empathy:

  1. Recognition
  2. Discrimination/Classification
  3. If the other Ethos is Flexible: Dialogue
  4. Integration/Understanding
  5. Cooperation

By Class​

Religions​

Religions that recognise other Ethos​

  • Buddhism
  • Hinduism
  • Agnosticism
  • Imperial/Syncretic religions:
    • Zoroastrianism
    • Mithraism
    • Statism (recognizing the state as independent from religion)
  • Henotheism

These religions meet the criteria of Minimal Ethos

However:

  1. None of these ethoses are upgradeable, and they are not challengeable in public
  2. There is no way to have a public dialogue with any

Religions that do not recognize other Ethos​

  • Judaism
  • Christianity
  • Islam
  • Any religion that suppresses public doctrinal debate

These religions do not meet the criteria of Minimal Ethos.

I do not consider these religions worthy of being called religions. They have at least this one cult or sectarian characteristic.

As a self-proclaimed Christian, I have to disent from the way Christianity is understood by the majority, and I declare that Christianity has to be humble itself, as an institution, not only requires humility from the individual. If the majority of Christians refuse to consider me a Christian, I will align myself with their will and give my religion another name.

Guru yoga

Definitions​

Guru: spiritual teacher with more than 2-3 disciples.

Types​

  • in a lineage:
    • proof of lineage: 3 generations of practitioners
  • without lineage:
    • using millions of people to correct the teachings: Mahatma Gandhi, Moses
    • using a public ethos and proof of solving each question

Lineage​

The existence of 3 generations is required to be alive and with a provable ability to communicate to all disciples to ensure that Guru Yoga is not abused: a disciple, his guru, and the guru of his guru. That means the disciple also has the right to communicate with all other disciples to the extent that the other disciples what to communicate back. Even in the realm of geometry, 2 points determine a line. Conversely, the word lineage should be used only when there are 2 generations of gurus active. Otherwise, the word "legacy" is more fitting than "lineage". A school that has no lineage cannot apply Guru Yoga properly. Guru Yoga has an ethos that is at least meeting the standard of Challengeable Ethos.

Example 1: When the disciple considers that his guru is not respecting the ethos of the lineage, he should be able to contact the guru of his guru to ensure alignment with the lineage.

Example 2: When the grand-guru teaches something, he should be able to gauge the effects in 1 generation away from the initial teaching.

Example 3: A disciple has the duty to defend the ethos of the lineage and to keep it Challengeable.

The Love Equation dE/dt = β(C − D)E by Brian Roemmele

  1. Recognition: I have considered this article above as an ethos declaration: message
  2. Classification: I think this ethos meets the criteria of Minimal Ethos, but I cannot be sure without further dialogue.
  3. not challengeable: Brian has answered only once. No reliable way to challenge.
  4. joinable: image but no list of joiners
  5. Maybe non-binding: "reject coercion in all of its forms"
  6. not respectful to other ethoses: does not recognize other ethoses (link to them from the presentation page)
  7. Dialogue: I have initiated 2-3 threads of dialogue, but they were not continued. Example.
  8. Integration:
  • wrote the detailed page on Empathy to show exactly how my ethos understands this ethos and announced.
  • wrote about Ethical Empathy: application of an ethos of empathy to itself (by having empathy with other ethoses).
  1. Present conclusion: Brian is not serious about abiding by his ethos: he never answered nor acted on this message.

Mihai Rapcea's Ethos

  1. Recognition: I have left a commentary on the video and recognized this as being ethos. Commentary was deleted. I have exchanged email messages instead.
  2. Classification: Mihai's ethos meets the criteria of Minimal Ethos, but I cannot be sure without further dialogue.
  3. not upgradeable: Mihai's answers did not clarify this yet
  4. not joinable
  5. not challengeable: this was clarified in video 2
  6. Dialogue: I have made several attempts to dialogue with Mr. Rapcea by email. Limited answers by email. Provable upon request. But a clarification by YT video 2 was provided.
  1. Present conclusion: Mihai Rapcea has an ethos that is relatively well-established, but not challengeable.

The ethical justification :​

https://chatgpt.com/share/6979f0f5-a468-8000-b643-5239d6b13527

Below is an evaluation strictly against your published ethos, not against Romanian law or political desirability. I will separate facts, ethical compatibility, and justifications.

1. What the document actually does (factually)​

The document is a personal petition / notification to the Comisia pentru cercetarea abuzurilor, corupţiei şi pentru petiţii of the Romanian Parliament. It does the following:

  • Claims a violation of your constitutional right to vote freely

  • Requests:

    • Investigation into:

      • Suspension of presidential election round 2
      • Annulment of elections (6 Dec 2024)
      • Invalidation of certain candidatures

    • Parliamentary inquiry

    • Questioning multiple state institutions (STS, CSAT, CCR, BEC, AEP, Presidency, SRI, SIE)

  • Asks to participate personally in the commission’s debates

It does not:

  • Assert specific factual proofs
  • Name guilty individuals
  • Claim certainty of wrongdoing
  • Demand sanctions
  • Reject the legal order explicitly

This is important.

2. Core ethos principles that are engaged​

From your ethos and meta-ethos, the relevant constraints are:

A. Responsibility & Proof​

  • responsible
  • proof_accepting
  • formal_proof
  • witnesses
  • voting_result
  • law

B. Impartiality & Respect​

  • impartial
  • ack_other_ethos
  • respectuous
  • categorical_imperative

C. Governance & Process​

  • governance
  • representation
  • judge_invite
  • challengeable

3. Arguments FOR signing (ethos-compatible)​

✔ 1. It is a request for inquiry, not a claim of truth​

Your ethos explicitly allows challenges and testing of systems:

  • You accept that governance must be provable
  • You accept challenges when formal proof is absent
  • You accept witness processes and institutional verification

This document asks for verification, not belief.

➡ Compatible with:

  • testable
  • challengeable
  • judge_invite

✔ 2. It does NOT violate acceptance of voting results yet​

Your ethos accepts voting results only if:

  • The process is formally provable
  • Institutions function correctly

This document questions whether those conditions were met, which is allowed.

➡ Compatible with:

  • voting_result
  • governance_ct1

✔ 3. It respects institutional process​

You are not bypassing institutions, calling for revolt, or denying legality. You are using exactly the channel designed for abuse investigation.

➡ Compatible with:

  • law
  • representation
  • respectuous

✔ 4. Negative Golden Rule satisfied​

You are not imposing harm, coercion, or denial of rights on others. You are asking for scrutiny you would accept applied to yourself.

➡ Compatible with:

  • golden_rule_negative

4. Arguments AGAINST signing (ethos risk points)​

These are not disqualifying, but real ethical liabilities.

⚠ 1. Risk of implicit accusation without proof​

Although carefully worded, the petition implies:

“institutions were involved in violating my rights”

If later formal proof demonstrates no wrongdoing, your ethos requires:

  • Reparations
  • Loss of ethical standing if harm was caused by false implication

➡ Tension with:

  • proof_accepting
  • responsible

This is a risk, not a violation.

⚠ 2. Collective responsibility escalation​

By requesting investigation of many institutions at once, you risk:

  • Diffuse blame
  • Public trust erosion without proportional evidence

Your ethos accepts prudence and economy of justice.

➡ Tension with:

  • prudence_ct1
  • economy_ct1

⚠ 3. Participation obligation​

You explicitly request to participate in debates.

Under your ethos, that creates a duty:

  • To act impartially
  • To accept counter-evidence
  • To publicly correct yourself if wrong

Failure to follow through would violate:

  • responsible
  • judge_invite

5. Final Ethos Verdict​

YES — you may sign it, conditionally​

Ethos-compatible IF AND ONLY IF you accept the following constraints:

  1. You treat this as a truth-seeking action, not an accusation.

  2. You explicitly accept in your own mind (and later actions) that:

    • If investigations disconfirm abuse → you must publicly accept that result.

  3. You are willing to:

    • Retract
    • Repair reputational harm
    • Update your ethos conclusions accordingly.

This aligns with:

  • Your responsible meta-ethos
  • Your testability doctrine
  • Your governance model

6. One-sentence ethical summary​

Signing is ethical under your ethos as a procedural challenge, but becomes unethical if treated as a conclusion rather than a question.

If you want, I can:

  • Rewrite the document to reduce ethical risk
  • Add an ethos-explicit disclaimer
  • Classify this action formally in your ethos repository (challenge type + precedent)
