    Paradox: “a statement or proposition that, despite apparently sound reasoning from stated premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.”

    (That is not the same as counter-intuitive.)

    I’ve written the same explanation so many times:

    SHORT FORM:
    Demonstrated intelligence consists of the following criteria:
    i) IQ (rate of pattern recognition and adaptation)
    ii) Short term(working) memory (necessary for mathematicians and chess players)
    iii) General knowledge (reading a lot on a lot of subjects generally makes you smarter)
    iv) Method of inquiry consisting of inputs ( allegory, parable, history, measurement) and methods ( free association, mysticism, reason, rationalism(justification), science(criticism).
    v) Wants/Errors: Impossible Wants, Impossible Beliefs, Metaphysical Errors, and Erroneous Assumptions
    vi) Lack of impulsivity: Discipline, and Time (great ideas are achieved by focused work over very long periods – often approaching a decade or more)

    The Etymology of “Court”
    From the notion of “surroundings of a sovereign in his regal state” (c. 1200) comes the legal meaning “a tribunal for judicial investigation” (c. 1300, early assemblies for justice were overseen by the sovereign personally), also “hall or chamber where justice is administered” (c. 1300). As an adjective, “pertaining to a court,” late 13c.

    TERMINOLOGY
    There no conflict between the sets of terms we use in different contexts, whether the long form for ordinary language or the formal short form we take from the logic of computation for the sake of brevity. We can use both for The Natural Law Project.

    Ordinary Language………Formal Language
    Natural Method ……………..P-Method
    Natural First Principles ….P-Science
    Natural Logic…………………..P-Logic
    Natural Order(Hoppe, informal)
    Natural Law…………………….P-Law (NLI Formal)
    Natural Government………P-Government
    Natural Religion
    Natural Aesthetics

    We also use the following terms to address the traditional disciplines in philosophy:
    Physics:……………………Physics: evolutionary computation of negative entropy.
    Metaphysics:…………….Vitruvianism: Man is the measure of all things man (cog. sci.)
    Psychology: ……………..Acquisitionism: Man acquires and defends.
    Ethics and Morality:…..Propertarianism. (Reciprocity) The Ethics of Non Imposition, production, and investment.
    Epistemology: ………….Testimonialism. The competition between imaginary associations and existential measurements in all dimensions of actionable reality.
    Law: ………………………..(Algorithmic) Natural Law.  The Natural Law of Reciprocity. Strictly constructed from the test of reciprocity.
    Sociology: ………………..Compatibilism: Intertemporal division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy wherein we combine information and calculate compatible means to the achievement of different ends through voluntary conflict, competition, cooperation, and boycott.
    Politics: ……………………Markets in Everything.
    Strategy:………………… Agency: Maximization of agency through Transcendence, Sovereignty, and Heroism
    Spirituality:………………Transcendence: Masculine Stoicism, Feminine Epicureanism, Ritual Familialism, Feast Naturalism, Festival Nationalism.
    Aesthetics:……………….,Truth(Testimonial), Excellence(Density), Goodness(Morality[‘the commons’]) and Beauty(Bounty).
    Constitution …………….A Second American Constitution
    Revolution………………..The Course and Conduct of a Revolution

    WHY I KEEP USING THE TERM “P-LAW”
    (P-Method, P-Logic, P-Science, P-Law, etc.)

    “P-Complete” from Wikipedia:
    “In computational complexity theory, a decision problem is P-complete (complete for the complexity class P) if it is in P and every problem in P can be reduced to it by an appropriate reduction.”

    Ergo: **All existence can be explained by reduction to the first principles of evolutionary computation. In other words, anything that can exist can be reduced to a formal description in P-Law.**

    I abandoned the term ‘Propertarianism’ since it applied only to the original system of measurement in ethics and morality. I kept the “P-” for P-Completeness. And because ‘-ism’ implies a philosophy, and P-Law is a formal logic: a science that unifies the logics and sciences.

    Ergo P-Law is P-Complete.

  • Q: “CURT: WHAT DOES PROPERTARIANISM IN NATURAL LAW REFER TO?” Propertarianism ev

    Q: “CURT: WHAT DOES PROPERTARIANISM IN NATURAL LAW REFER TO?”

    Propertarianism evolved from the observation that all human behavior, all ethics, morals, politics, and all of social science, could be reduced to statements of changes in the spectrum demonstrated interests (previously, the more narrow “property”), creating the same commensurability in social and behavioral science, as we had observed, in mathematics, physics, and evolutionary science.

    As such propertarianism consists of the methodology by which we can construct a universally commensurable, value neutral, scientific and formal, logic of human cooperation, conflict, and dispute resolution.

    From this logic we can also define the optimum possible ethics, morals, laws, economcis, and political systems, and measure or at least explain, all theories and claims as deviations from that universal optimum.

    … And as such, allows us to recommend innovations to political institutions that are more applicable to the current state of technological development, division of knowledge and labor, and newfound economic independence of man outside of dependence upon nuclear, extended, and tribal family relations of the hunter-gatherer, agrarian, and early industrial organizations of man.

    The Natural Law evolved from Propertarianism, by the unification of the sciences with the P-Method, P-Science of First Principles, P-Logic of causation, and P-Law of universal decidability.

    Our constitution of Natural Law completes the American Constitution of natural law, and reforms the present strategic, political, economic, and social order so that it returns to correspondence to the natural law of universal decidability discovered by p-method, p-logic, p-science, from the discovery of commensurability in Propertarianism.

    Propertarianism sits in the hierarchy of traditional disciplines, as ethics, and we have reformed some of those disciplines as:
    Physics:……………………Physics: evolutionary computation of negative entropy.
    Metaphysics:…………….Vitruvianism: Man is the measure of all things man (cog. sci.)
    Psychology: ……………..Acquisitionism: Man acquires and defends.
    Ethics and Morality:…..Propertarianism. (Reciprocity) The Ethics of Non Imposition, production, and investment.
    Epistemology: ………….Testimonialism. The competition between imaginary associations and existential measurements in all dimensions of actionable reality.
    Law: ………………………..Algorithmic Natural Law. The Natural Law of Reciprocity. Strictly constructed from the test of reciprocity.
    Sociology: ………………..Compatibilism: Intertemporal division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy wherein we combine information and calculate compatible means to the achievement of different ends through voluntary conflict, competition, cooperation, and boycott.
    Politics: ……………………Markets in Everything. (Which I call “Market Fascism” with tongue in cheek.)
    Strategy:………………… Agency: Maximization of agency through Transcendence, Sovereignty, and Heroism
    Spirituality:………………Transcendence: Masculine Stoicism, Feminine Epicureanism, Ritual Familialism, Feast Naturalism,…….Festival Nationalism.

    BTW: I use P-prefix in P-Method, P-Logic P-Science and P-Law for P-completeness, not Propertarianism. This alludes to the computability of the Natural Law Program.
