    Our Books: The Volumes

    The books, while dense, and cross disciplinary, are readable by humans. But perhaps more importantly, they are written to serve as a specification for AI that renders ordinary language into a rough analogy to a programming language, producing computability in those fields that have heretofore been impervious to reduction to computational form. The result is computability and decidability in fields previously resistant.
    So to train an AI in our methodology requires creating training modules for each of the chapters, which the AI itself can produce from the chapters. These modules are in socratic format. The human’s primary job then when developing the training is watching for drift, and starting a new session and continuing whenever drift is observed. Other than that, after a short time, the AI will suggest creating a training sequence whenever a novel concept or relationship is introduced.
    In the ancient world, religion unified meaning and law under divine command.
    In the classical world, philosophy and jurisprudence sought universal principles of justice.
    In the modern world, science gave us operational knowledge, but politics abandoned operational morality.
    Our age inherits the tools of science, the wealth of industry, and the networks of empire—yet it lacks a grammar for truth and reciprocity across domains. Without such a grammar, law becomes politicized, science becomes propagandized, and education becomes indoctrination.
    • For AI — to give machines the same operational grammar of truth and reciprocity we demand of men, so that their reasoning is transparent, testable, and free of cultural bias.
    • For Education — to teach the next generation a universal language of measurement and causality, making them immune to propaganda and capable of decidable moral, legal, and political reasoning.
    • For Government — to reconstruct constitutions, laws, and institutions so they operate as grammars of cooperation, producing decisions that are computable, reciprocal, and enforceable without corruption or discretion.
    • For Civilization — to restore the West’s lost measures of truth, reciprocity, and law; to align the sciences, humanities, and religions under a single causal logic; and to create a durable, future-proof civilization capable of thriving in the age of artificial intelligence.
    Diagnosis: Volume 1: The Crisis of the Age
    Identifies the cause of our civilizational collapse as the breakdown of measurement and reciprocity, producing the epistemic, moral, and institutional decay of the West. Frames the modern crisis as one of undecidability, where claims in all domains escape falsification.
    • Domain: History, Morality, Civilization
    • Content:
    • Diagnoses the epistemic, moral, and institutional collapse of Western civilization.
    • Traces the fragmentation of truth, the rise of justificationism, and the decline of constraint.
    • Identifies civilizational failure as a failure of measurement and cooperation under reciprocity.
    • Purpose:
    • Frames the modern crisis as a product of unmeasured, unjustified, and undecidable claims across all domains.
    • Justifies the need for a universal system of measurement and decidability rooted in natural law.
    Measurement: Volume 2: Language as A System of Measurement
    Constructs the universal operational grammar to resolve that failure. Formalizes ternary logic, adversarial falsification, and dimensional reduction to make all claims—moral, legal, economic, political—commensurable and testable.
    • Domain: Epistemology, Logic, Semantics
    • Content:
    • Constructs a universal operational grammar for measuring reality and claims.
    • Formalizes ternary logic, adversarial falsification, and dimensional reduction for testability.
    • Introduces the hierarchy of grammars (mythical → legal/scientific) and the mechanics of commensurability.
    • Purpose:
    • Provides the tools to convert all claims (moral, legal, economic, political) into testable, measurable, and falsifiable propositions.
    • Produces the universal infrastructure for truth, reciprocity, and decidability.
    Causality: Volume 3: The Science, Logic, and Method of Evolutionary Computation
    Provides the scientific metaphysics beneath the grammar. Models reality, from quantum fields to human behavior, as evolutionary computation under constraint, showing how truth, ethics, law, and cooperation emerge from the same generative process.
    • Domain: Causality, Evolutionary Computation, Behavioral Science
    • Content:
    • Models all of reality from the quantum background to the mind—including human cognition and behavior—as evolutionary computation.
    • Describes truth, ethics, law, and cooperation as outputs of computation under constraint.
    • Grounds all institutions, moral systems, and legal codes in computable causality.
    • Purpose:
    • Builds a scientific metaphysics and logic to explain how natural law emerges from the universe’s generative process.
    • Enables construction of decidable systems across domains using a shared causal logic.
    Application: Volume 4: The Law (Constitution)
    Applies the causal logic to governance. Rebuilds constitutions, laws, and institutions as grammars of cooperation, enforcing truth, reciprocity, and sovereignty through computable constraints on action.
    • Domain: Law, Politics, Institutional Design
    • Content:
    • Applies Volumes 1–3 to reconstruct legal systems, constitutions, and institutions using tests of truth, reciprocity, and sovereignty.
    • Frames law as a grammar of cooperation that encodes computable constraints on moral and political action.
    • Offers templates for reengineering government under empirical natural law.
    • Purpose:
    • Converts scientific natural law into political, legal, and institutional systems.
    • Enforces decidability and reciprocity in all domains of governance and rights.
    Unification: Volumes 5, 6, 7
    Extends the system across the full spectrum of human knowledge and meaning. Aligns the empirical, the moral, and the sacred within a single causal and operational framework, restoring their shared role in sustaining civilization.
    • Volume 5: The Science
    • Volume 6: The Humanities
    • Volume 7: Religion
    Taken together, these volumes form both a restoration of our inheritance and a blueprint for a civilization that can govern itself—and its machines—under the same laws of truth, reciprocity, and cooperation.
    Closing
    The Natural Law framework is not merely a theoretical construction—it is a pragmatic, computable system for restoring reciprocal cooperation, truthful discourse, and institutional integrity. By grounding our moral, legal, and political order in operational definitions, testifiability, and evolutionary law, we have the tools to escape the historical cycle of rise and fall. If applied faithfully, this system offers not just a repair of the present, but a durable foundation for civilization’s long-term survival and flourishing.

    (Runcible)
    It’s curious and interesting: To find people both capable of our work, and able to train the AI, we are gathering people from around the world who have proven their abilities on social media whether publicly or in DMs.

    The interesting question is – why do we have to find people around the world? Or at least, largely around western civilization?

    Everyone shares a similar set of behavioral traits – which is common in many disciplines. It’s just that we’re drawing from a more rare (exclusive?) percentage of the population: those for who truth matters most.

    THE SCIENCE OF THE HUMANITIES
    I started working on the first principles and canonical training of AIs in the Humanities today. It is going fast, and is rewarding – and we have unified the formal, physical, behavioral, and now literary sciences.

    This has led to a system of measurement for the science of the humanities just as it has in the other ‘sciences’.

    But like law and economy this is not a ‘best’ race. It’s an understanding of the needs of the people at their degree of evolution, and a map for how to continue their evolution.

    As with most of our work we treat humans as a distribution of evolutionary biases by sex differences and seek to assist those two biases in achieving shared goals rather than to claim one is superior or inferior.

    This in itself is one of our contributions to the discourse.

    The AI is trained with Positive and Negative Assertions and explanations (socratically). So yes – although we prefer it come up with examples specific to the user’s context rather than canned responses.

    Are We Setting A New Standard?
    Our work is intellectually dense and demanding. But to assist readers we’ll release the volumes and the AI at the same time. Meaning that if you have questions about or criticisms of the work as you’re reading it, the AI will be available as an author-substitute to answer you.

    I would expect that for other works that are theoretically revolutionary (not solely dependent on normative knowledge) that this will emerge as a third publication method (book > audio > AI, or. in academic work Book > Study Guide > “Cliff/Spark/Book Notes” > AI).

    IMO as a subject increases in complexity, it’s easiest to have an AI teach you a subject – even easier than reading. So I would expect (a) this interactive model to emerge as a complementary standard and (b) some sort of interactive gaming to emerge as a means of teaching by example at some point later.

    On the other hand, my (our) work does require we write a book as the ‘program’ that we teach the AI. And in my opinion I have been subconsciously more concerned with an AI understanding my work than I have humans. In some sense because I’m not sure the multi-disciplinary knowledge exists in enough people without the help of the AI and the unification of the disciplines created by the work to understand it otherwise.

    I mean, for those of us who have been working with this methodology for years, it’s possible to reduce it to a method and first principles, and to habituate both so that most subjects – at least behavioral to sociological to political and economic are intuitive. But you know that’s true of any subject.

    It just hasn’t been true of MANY subjects since the unification provided by the hard sciences. Now we have the soft (behavioral) sciences, and we even have langauge and grammar ‘scienced’ so that it’s all unified as well.

    I love my work, our work at the institute.
    But oddly, the more we master our subject the more distant we become from the common man and woman, such that our very purpose – increasing trust, cooperation, justice, and quality of life – alienates us, even if only cognitively, from those who we struggle to serve. You don’t imagine that you’ll make that sacrifice when you start your journey. But you make it willingly once you begin serving.

    Parenting a civilization is little different from parenting our children. The problem are just bigger, take longer, and are more challenging to solve. 😉

  • In the 60s and 70s it was definitely unfashionable to be a nerd, get better grad

    In the 60s and 70s it was definitely unfashionable to be a nerd, get better grades, attract greater teacher approval. That changed rapidly in the 80s with the advent of available computers.
    The aspie thing was more of a problem.
    Not ‘taking it’ was both more of a problem AND the solution.
    I was in at least one or two fistfights a week, and sometimes most days. Often at the bus stop, or walking to or from school, or at ‘recess’.
    Eventually, maturity kicked in, outcomes became serious, and respect and avoidance emerged.
    Very different world.
    And I’m pretty confident that it was less stressful and less harmful than what kids have gone through over the past two generations. And it surely has made them soft, weak, and cowardly in many ways.
    Which I find more than a little odd.
