THE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE HIERARCHY OF LAWS 1) Laws of Nature: Equilibria: The DISCOVERY of which is the subject of physical science. We can know the first causes of the deterministically equilibrial universe – but we cannot sense them without extensive work. 2) Laws of Man: man is an expensive organism fighting the dark forces of time, ignorance, and scarcity, and must act to acquire, and in acting to acquire, acts rationally (to ensure returns – in the greatest return for the least effort, in the shortest time, with the greatest degree of certainty at the lowest risk); and in acting rationally, must conserve physical, emotional, and mental energy, and expend physical, emotional, and mental effort; and can choose to cooperate with others, prey upon others, or boycott others at all times; and may make use of violence, remuneration, or gossip(lauding/shaming), to do so. 2) Natural Law: Non-Parasitism, leaving Reciprocity as the only possible action, because only by non parasitism do we produce the incentive to cooperate rather than prey upon, retaliate against, or boycott. We can know the first cause of reciprocity through direct observation, and we do know it. We cannot implement reciprocity without extensive work (institutions) which allow us to concentrate our forces. 3) Natural RIghts: The methods of insuring natural law, by an insurer of last resort (militia, military, judiciary, monarchy). We cannot implement those institutions without rules by which institutions may enact processes, independently of subjective opinion. 4) Property in toto: the means of commensurability (measurement) between our actions: changes in state of property in toto exist in reality (laws of nature), limited by the abilities of man’s action (laws of man), violate or do not violate reciprocity (rule of law), and are insured or not insured by institutions (natural rights), and can be measured or not measured by changes in property in toto.

The Scope of Propertarianism
THE SCOPE OF MY WORK ON PROPERTARIANISM: Propertarianism’s Natural Law includes: Transcendence, Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Decidability, Markets for Association, Cooperation, Production, reproduction, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategies at all levels. Let’s look at that again as a hierarchy: 1) Transcendence (of man to human then to gods.) 2) Agency, (by the production of agency) 3) Sovereignty, (by the demand for sovereignty) 4) Reciprocity, (limiting us to reciprocity) 5) Decidability, (providing us with decidability) 6) Markets: (limiting us to voluntary markets) … Association, … Cooperation, … Production, … Reproduction, … Production of commons, … Production of polities, … Production of group evolutionary strategies at all levels. (and in the end producing eugenic evolution without intentional design) 7) Property (property in toto. The method of commensurability of changes in state via reciprocity.) 8) The Logic, Grammar and Syntax of Cooperation. 9) Testimonialism: the means of warranty of due diligence against error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. Western civilization has disproportionately raised mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, tyranny, and disease in short order in both the ancient and modern eras. We achieved this through the use of soverignty, deflationary truth and deflationary organizations, producing competition as the means of testing all possible ideas, information, services, and products. Because we rely on constantly changing markets we can respond to changes in markets, and our institutions must respond to changes in markets for violence, gossip, and remuneration. And we are able to do this because for most of our history we have incrementally expanded natural law – markets into all walks of life, ensuring that we can adapt faster than other civilizations to change – even if that means we have generation long wars in order to change between eras: but at least we change while others stagnate. So while some of us desire the experiential consumption made possible by the west’s civilization, and others desire ‘not to be defeated by evil’, others desire sovereignty, others desire clan, tribal, national, or racial persistence – others desire the transcendence of man. And all of these desires can be fulfilled under natural law as long as we are willing to prevent those who are unwilling and unable to participate in that effort from reproduction. The opposite view is simply the opposite desires across the same spectrum: current consumption, and persistence of one’s genes despite the evidence that they force costs on mankind for eternity. Natural Law completes the sciences up to sentience. We cannot solve sentience with the information currently at our disposal, although it appears that it is on the horizon of our abilities.

A Militia is the Answer
A MILITIA IS THE ANSWER. THE MILITIA IS THE SOURCE OF SOVEREIGNTY —“But how is sovereignty produced? What are the necessary substrates (material) and predicaments (relations and incentives) for the emergence and sustainable continuation of sovereignty?”—Simon Ström A condition of sovereignty, is produced by the *incentives* to produce sovereignty, which consist of a large number of men, in a militia, none of which produce or possess sufficient wealth to coerce others into the coercion of others; living in an environment where there are no capital assets of sufficient value with which to make possible sufficient wealth to coerce others into coercing others. Sovereignty is produced by a significant percentage of men, who deny power to any man or men, for any reason.

We Do Not Ask Permission of Man to Rule, But Forgiveness of the Gods if We Fail.
WE DO NOT ASK PERMISSION OF MAN TO RULE, WE ASK FORGIVENESS OF THE GODS IF WE FAIL. You do not ask permission to rule by natural law. You overthrow the current order. You rule. You profit from it. People Prosper. Agency Emerges. Man Transcends.

The Cost and Profit of Different Orders
Apr 27, 2017 9:56am THE PROFITABILITY OF DIFFERENT ORDERS, AND THE COST OF EACH (important) —“Curt: What is your opinion on feudalism?”—
- Sovereigns are more profitable than citizens,
- citizens more profitable than freemen,
- freemen more profitable than serfs,
- serfs more profitable than slaves, s
- laves more profitable than enemies.
One must educate and develop recipes (techniques), manners, ethics, morals, common law, natural law, institutions of cooperation (truth, contract, money, banking, interest, and sheriff, judge, militia, and army, and freedom of association, marriage, markets, markets for commons, and cities) in order to evolve from command(slavery) to feudalism(serfdom), to republic(freemen), to monarchy(citizens), to aristocracy (sovereigns). That requires a great deal of time, and effort. But civilizing man is a profitable enterprise. It is the most profitable enterprise we have yet discovered.
