There is no more reason we should fear teaching testimonialism’s extension of the scientific method, than we fear teaching grammar, rhetoric, or newtonian physics. Because unlike mathematics, chemistry, and post-newtonian physics, testimony is a property of perceptions, experiences and limitations – not something that we cannot directly grasp.

1) TESTIMONIALISM

Experience (filling your mind)

Creativity (free association)

Hypothesis

Identity (property, method, relation, and category)

Internal Consistency (logic)

External Correspondence (experiment)

Existential Possibility (operationalism)

Morality (fully informed voluntary exchange free of negative externality)

Limits (falsification)

Parsimony

Evolution of Truthfulness (epistemology):

Experience,

Free Association,

Hypothesis,

Theory,

Law,

Truth,

Tautology

2) PROPERTARIANISM:

Morality: The necessity of cooperation: natural law: necessary for the construction of the voluntary organization of demand, invention, production, distribution and trade, and the formation of prices and incentives which inform our actions in the service of one another.

The basis of natural law of voluntary cooperation and the construction of the voluntary organization of production: The Productive, Fully informed, Warrantied, Voluntary exchange, of property-en-toto, free of imposition of costs by externality.

3) PROPERTY EN TOTO (Demonstrated Property)

I. SELF-PROPERTY

Personal property: “Things an individual has a Monopoly Of Control over the use of.”

3.2) Categories of Property, Rights and Oblications:

0) Non-Property (Bring under total control)

….YES: Constituo, Transitus, Usus, Fructus, Mancipio, Abusus.

1) Personal (Private) Property (limited control)

4) RIGHTS

1) Constituo – Homesteading: Convert into property through bearing a cost of transformation.

2) Transitus – Transit: passage through 3d space.

3) Usus – Use: setting up a stall.

6) LAW, JUDGE AND JURY

(obvious)Law is discovered by judges as the incremental suppression of parasitism that violates property en toto. While government may produce commons and it may construct contracts, all law must be discovered.

7) MONARCH(JUDGE), HOUSES (MARKETS), ADVOCATES (CITIZENS)

Decidability: Equidistribution of proceeds to houses. Economic Investment as ‘voting’. Legal Dissent prevents passage. Otherwise all legal contracts are binding.

Houses, chosen by lot, 90 days on. 90 days off:

8) WILSONIAN SYNTHESIS: LAW, MORALITY, PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE(TRUTH TELLING)

1) Morality: preservation of the disproportionate rewards of cooperation by a total prohibition on imposition of costs against property-en-toto.

2) Law: an evolutionary list of the accumulated prohibitions on innovations in the means of immoral actions: impositions of costs on property en toto.

3) Property Rights: The promise that third parties will warranty restitution and retaliation, and not retaliate for restitution and retaliation, for imposition of costs against property en toto in exchange for the same warranty from the defending party or parties.

4) Science: the discipline(technology) of laundering imaginary content, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deception from testimony, leaving only truth candidates.

5) Philosophy: The discipline(technology) of improving truthful testimony.
