The Condensed Map of Curt Doolittle’s System.
His “theories” aren’t really separate — they form one unified framework. Think of it as a chain from physics → cognition → cooperation → law → civilization survival.
Civilization = the continuous suppression of parasitism by institutionalizing truth, reciprocity, and decidability — so that cooperation can compute at larger scales without collapse.
Civilization survives or fails depending on whether it can compute cooperation truthfully, reciprocally, and decidably at scale. Everything else — religion, ideology, politics — is noise unless it passes those tests.
-
History as Conflict (Vol 0)
All civilizations are group evolutionary strategies.
Indo-European (aristocratic, sovereignty + reciprocity) vs. Semitic (Abrahamic monopolies, deceit, universalism).
Recurrent pattern: civilizations collapse when they lose reciprocity + constraint under scale, parasitism, or false speech. -
The Crisis (Vol 1)
The West is in a Crisis of Responsibility because our institutions lost the ability to measure, judge, and constrain parasitism.
“Constraint requires judgment. Judgment requires decidability. Decidability requires measurement.”
Visibility decays with scale → institutions captured → elites exploit. -
Measurement (Vol 2)
Truth, value, law, and cooperation must be grounded in a system of measurement (operational definitions).
Language = measurement. Truth = testimony under liability. Law = reciprocity institutionalized.
Epistemology: not justification, but falsification + testimony (you must warrant what you claim). -
Evolutionary Computation (Vol 3)
Reality itself = evolutionary computation (variation, competition, selection).
Human cooperation = one expression of this computation.
Ternary logic (true/false/undecidable) replaces binary logic, allowing law and science to converge.
Decidability = the condition for scalable cooperation. -
The Law (Vol 4)
The West must restore a constitutional order of reciprocity.
Enumerated rights = only those that can be reciprocally insured.
Government = insurer of last resort for reciprocity, truth, and sovereignty.
Proposed constitution = computable, testifiable, resistant to parasitism.
-
Truth = Testifiability → You must warranty claims as if under oath.
-
Law = Reciprocity → No right exists that cannot be reciprocally insured.
-
Morality = Computable Cooperation → Universal moral law is reciprocity in demonstrated interests.
-
Civilization = Evolutionary Computation of Cooperation → Those who maintain decidability (through truthful speech, reciprocal law, computable institutions) outcompete those who rely on deceit, monopoly, or parasitism.
