Any use of “Sounds Like” is an admission of ignorance and stupidity, rather than knowledge comprehension and intelligence.

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).

I think it’s funny that most of our staff that’s not speaking English natively has greater facility with the English language than native speakers, about a broader and more difficult range of subjects and in greater precision and detail.

A lot of words converts a ‘saying’ into an argument. 😉

“Q: WHY DO YOU DEFINE ALL TERMS IN A SERIES?”
(ordinal mathematics)
Do you remember in geometry class, the teacher explained how three points test a line? And the more points you test that appear on that line the more valid the formula for the line?
A line constitutes a dimension of measurement. Points on that line are definitions that are consistent with that dimension. In other words, we are certain that those points, all of which are on a line, share the same properties: the same properties of that dimension.
So, that’s why we use ‘disambiguation by enumeration (listing), serialization (putting them on a line in an order), and operationalization (describing them as actions, and actions as common properties), where those common properties define the dimension(s) we’re measuring.
So, in our canonical example:
|Moral|: Evil – Immoral – Unethical – Amoral – Ethical – Moral – Virtuous.
Given moral value refers to deviation from reciprocity.
Therefore we define the dimension of morality using four properties: Limits(Evil-to-Virtuous), Directness-Indirectness, Severity, and Intention(evil requires intent)
So instead of ‘cardinal mathematics’ (numbers) we call this ‘ordinal mathematics’. Meaning that we can use triangulation of terms to determine the order, producing an unambiguous series of measurements, and the properties we are measuring, so that we prevent ourselves and other from ignorance, error, bias, and deceit by denial, evasion, inflation and conflation.
So just as you decide 4 of something is greater than 3 and less than 5 of it, you decide by this same ‘triangulation’ (Sesame street game) that morality is more indirect(anonymous) than ethics, but less so than virtue.
So, while numbers are names of positions, and our terms are names of positions, in this sense, our terms like numbers, represent only an order in a measurement. Unlike numbers they do not necessarily require the same scale between them. And again unlike numbers, or more correctly, unlike numbers on the same scale, they are not commensurable any more than time (minutes) and space (miles) are commensurable: the second or third position on a given ordinal sequence does not reflect the second or third position on a different ordinal sequence. This is because we are measuring different *dimensions* and dimensions represent one or more causes.
I hope this helps

The Natural Law Program:
The Terms P-Method, P-Logic, P-Law distinguish our work from the current terminology for the scientific method, set logic, and arbitrary law. We use the P-prefix to indicate we’re using ‘unambiguous, universally commensurable, value neutral, first princples science and constructive logic of decidabilty’.
The Program Consists of:
The Method
The First Principles
The Grammars (including Lying)
The Demonstrated Interests
Reciprocity
Testimonial Truth
Decidability
The Natural Law
The Constitution of Natural Law (perfect government)
The Reforms
The Restitutions and Punishments
The Volumes (Books)
History
Philosophy
Science
Law
Reforms
The Prosecution
The Law of Europeans
The Natural Religion

@SRCHicks: I’m not just down in the weeds, but down in the quantum background on the spectrum of human communication (paradigms, vocabularies, and grammars): especially that of lying.
And from that understanding, it’s quite clear that just as the Greeks invented empiricism, reason, and testimonial truth given the indo european group strategy of aristocratic contractualism, the middle east, which began with mythicism between priests and peasants, and forged states later on, then upon encountering the Greek and later Roman, innovated in lying by social construction (mythicism) as profoundly as the greeks had innovated in truthfulness (empiricism).
Much of my work has resulted in a deep understanding of techniques of communication and in particular of lying. And oddly enough, via-negativa, it turns out we learn more about our nature from the study of anti-social behavior and lying (the diverse negative particulars) than we do from the entire history of studies of what is ideal, good, and moral (similar, positive, generalizations).
And yes I’m happy to do this drudgery outside of the academy – because it’s not safe for others to do so within it. 😉
Thanks for all the work you’ve done and continue to do.
