RECIPROCITY
I see myself as trying to restore the pre-war particularist ethic from the postwar ‘globalist’ ethic. And since I started on this mission in 2014 I’ve been suprised and pleased to see its use work through the conservative spectrum. But with the current Ngram data, while five years old now, it doesn’t appear to move the needle yet. 😉

This is the only criteria that satisfies the first principles of decidability:
(from our Constitutional Reforms, Article I.IV The Natural Law)
–“As conscious beings possessed of different degrees of agency, we consciously grasp, unconsciously presume, or biologically intuit, these choices upon which all others depend:
The first question is: “Why not commit suicide?” This question is that of Personal philosophy.
The second question is: “Why engage in cooperation rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Ethics.
The third question – and one that a group must answer – is: “Why engage in cooperation with others, rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Politics.
The Fourth Question a group must answer is: “How shall we organize our people with myths, arguments, and rules to survive and prosper in competition from nature and man?” That the question of Group Evolutionary Strategy,
The Fifth Question a group must answer is “What are the limits of tolerance for life, for ethics, for politics, and for group evolutionary strategy, before we resort to suicide, separation, free riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood?” That is the Question of Limits.
The answer to all five questions is that persistence of the opportunities of existence, of the returns on cooperation, and of the returns on the production of commons, are preferable to suicide, separation, free-riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood.
Conversely, resistance, violence, feud, insurrection, revolution, civil war, warfare, and genocide are preferable to submission to undermining of cooperation, hindering of cooperation, parasitism, and predation.”–
