Immorality = Irreciprocity. Irreciprocity means violating the requirements for:

Immorality = Irreciprocity.
Irreciprocity means violating the requirements for:
productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer of demonstrated interests (of all kinds) free of imposition of costs on the demonstrated interests of others including by externality.
This is universal.
It’s instinct
It has to be.
It’s physics.
But it’s the negative.

Amorality as a system of measurement, and a set of actions consists of what actions we take that are not immoral, but have no positive effect on the demonstrated interests of others (capital)

Morality as a system of measurement, and as a set of actions, consists of what positive actions we take that are not irreciprocal AND produce a net increase in capital in the widest most abstract sense, even if that capital is just an increase in the likelihood of future safety, cooperation or insurance (investment).

So the actions that are immoral, a moral, and moral evolve with the capital possessed by individuals and in particular the capital held in common by the population.

The preservation of capital from imposition of cost (immorality) directy or indirectly (by externality) requires bearing the costs of NOT imposing costs (immorality) upon the demonstrated interests of others, whether private or common, directly or indirectly.

The scale of the accumulated behavioral capital in this practice of ( habit, norm, tradition, rule, law) non-aggression against others’ demonstrated interests directly or indirectly whether private or common determines what is called and measured by the capital asset we call trust.

To create this trust we engage in policing it by subtle means: altruistic investment, altruistic repayment, and altruistic punishment.

Additionally, we vary in our terms of cooperation and investment. So we vary in moral DEMANDS, even if if moral DECIDABILITY is universal, moral demands differ between sexes, individuals, classes, groups, and populations.

And additionally the degree of development, the degree of trust, the degree of personal, social, and institutional defesnse of capital and especially the capital of Trust, varies between groups like all technologies and institutions vary between groups.

However, There are no moral norms traditions values or institutions that cannot be described and decided by the terms I have listed here by defining what is immoral, and defining what amoral and moral actions prevent immorality.

Additionally, human individuals, human groups, and human organizations make errors, and will wrongly attribute moralioty to something that is in fact immoral.

That does not mean that despite there error we cannot universally decide by universal decidabilty stated above whether an action or inaction is immoral.

Because immoral, amoral, and moral actions are not an opinion. They aren’t relative. It’s a science. Whether we like it or not.
