Symbiotic Moral Framework
Understanding the moral landscape requires understanding two things:
1. Morality allows life to fractally self-organize.
2. Information is independent of medium. (Two is independent of 2 apples or 2 oranges.)
What emerges from those two insights is a morality that is "opt-in." Hume's Guillotine forces the truth that peers cannot tell each other what they should do. However, Hume's Guillotine allows for repeated forced choices, and those forced choices can give shape to fractal processes. This means that an organism can either be inside the fractal process, or outside of it, and once inside, that organism depends on that process for not only its life, but also its agency and legacy.
Because of this, although the implementation differs, the morality of a white blood cell, an ant, a wolf, a person, a family, and a city are all remarkably similar, because they are all part of a greater whole, and that greater whole can be part of a greater whole still in turn, continuously developing the next stage of the fractal.
We see this positive morality in cellular apoptosis, in the sacrifice of a wolf to save its pack, or Dietrich Bonhoeffer giving his life to speak out against evil.
Any of these entities can also rebel against that greater whole, whether in the form of cancer, a lone wolf, a thief, etc.
The study of Symbiotic Morality is the study of the common thread of morality independent of subject, independent of the wolf or the person. This independence allows us to see the full picture, both now, and into the future.
Although this concept is simple, finding that common thread is complicated, and would be impossible without new insights into Game Theory, Information Theory, and Epistemology. As our work progresses we look forward to sharing more.
