    DEFINITIONS:
    – Interest, Demonstrated Interest
    – Agency, Autonomy, Sovereignty
    – Self-Determination by Self-Determined Means.

    Interest: Expenditure or forgone opportunity, to demonstrate bearing of costs (investment) in obtaining full exclusive or shared partial control over a person, place, or thing.

    Demonstrated interests: Siezure of an opportunity to obtain an expectation of a monopoly of full exclusive or shared partial control over an interest, by bearing the cost of acting or not acting to demonstrate that interest(cost-return) without having violated a previously seized opportunity to obtain full exclusive or partial shared control over an interest by others in the same polity with whom we share the same agreement for sovereignty.

    Agency (re: self): Ability to use mind, body, actions, knowledge, Skills, Information, and Resources to act in fulfillment of wants and needs.

    Autonomy (re: others): Monopoly of control over mind, body, and actions, by the non-interference of others in doing so.

    Sovereignty (re: Institutions of Insurance):
    Institutional organization of reciprocal insurance by force of arms of one’s autonomy in the exercise of control of one’s demonstrated interests within the limits of one’s agency, without violating the demonstrated interests of others.

    Self-Determination by Self-Determined Means
    “Self-determination by self-determined means” requires complete autonomy in both the goals one sets and the methods one uses to achieve those goals.
    The requirements for this condition include agency (rational decision-making), demonstrated interests (access to resources), autonomy (freedom of interference by others, a set of rules an processes for judgment ( ethical considerations), and institutions of Reciprocal Insurance (a supportive legal and social framework, the absence of oppression).

    The Layering of Laws
    Had an insight this morning on constitutional ‘layering’ of rights obligations and inalienations (ROIs), such that we begin with individual self determination, sovereignty, and reciprocity but then climb the ladder of markets of production stating and explaining each layer’s ROIs, thus preserving decidability when goals conflict. The most important of course is that the family is more important than the individual. Because in fact, the family is the most important institution of all, because the famiily produces the humans that are the repository for the human capital that determines the condition of all in the polity, nation, civlization and man.

    MEETING NOTES: Why I love working with this team.

    –“Given these responsibilities of self determination and individual sovereignty (a) Some people do not have the ability, agency, competency for successful self determination (b) so it’s logical so many prefer serfdom, (c) it’s cruel not to offer it to them, (d) western civilization is organized to maximize individual responsibiity as a means of defense of the commons from free riding or privatization. (e) given the development of humans from infants to adults, and the window of each developmental stage, as the complexity of cooperation, the division of labor, and trade increase, the cost of investing training necessary for the production of agency of individuals increases. (f) and the convergence of that training with the laws of nature (the four sciences) produces the greaest possible human agency.  (n) therefore agency is a form of personal and common capital and any inhibition of the production of that ability, agency, competency, is a crime, to be outlawed – the result being a prohibition on falsehood and false promise and a constraint of political participation to those of demonstrated agency and competency.” — Brandon and Martin

    –“The speed of change unleashed by the sequence of industrial revolutions overwhelmed our institutions of the production of ability, agency, responsibility creating opportunity for the invention, distribution and sale of non-agentic or anti-agentic incentives narratives and justifications: the industrialization of lying to compensate for uncertainty and alienation by the Cathedral complex of Academy, State, Media, and Entertainment.”– Moritiz

    –“The more  abstract view is that we require not only due process in the resolution of disputes but due process in the production of the agency necessary to avoid them while cooperating at large scale” — Brandon

    –“The state has the duty to make itself as necessary as possible in the production of self determination by self determined means – because human capital is the most important capital with the greatest influence on the present and future condition of man.”– Martin

    The USA is a federation.

    This federation insures the sovereignty of other federations and nation-states and insures free trade for the benefit of all. In other words, the USA prohibits empires. (This isn’t obvious, but that’s effectively what the USA does: end the age of empires and force the age of nation-states.)

    The difference between a federation and an empire lies in the distribution of power. In a federation, power is shared between the central government and the states, with the states retaining some degree of sovereignty. In an empire, power is centralized, and the ruling nation or group has control over the conquered territories.

    Federation:

    … 1. Sovereignty: A federation is a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government. The individual states retain sovereignty over certain matters, while the federal government has authority over common interests (like defense, foreign policy, etc.).

    … 2. Constitution: Federations are typically governed by a constitution that outlines the division of powers between the federal and state governments. Changes to this constitution usually require the agreement of a significant proportion of the states.

    … 3. Representation: In a federation, the states or regions usually have representation in the central government, often through a bicameral legislature.

    … 4. Voluntary Union: The formation of a federation is typically voluntary, based on mutual agreement between the states.

    Empire:

    … 1. Centralized Power: An empire is a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government. Power is typically centralized, and the ruling nation or group often imposes its laws, norms, and language on the conquered areas.

    … 2. Acquisition of Territory: Empires are often formed through conquest, with the ruling nation expanding its territory by force.

    … 3. Hierarchy: There is often a clear hierarchy in an empire, with the ruling nation or group at the top and the conquered peoples or nations subordinate to them.

    … 4. Diversity: Empires often encompass a diverse range of peoples, cultures, and languages.

    You’re missing the point, but it’s understandable.

    The age of empires is over, and the age of nation-states replaced it. Even if Russia, China, and Iran disagree – and even if India is somewhat confused. 😉

    The entire purpose of the postwar order is to prevent another world war by the end of empires, the production of nation-states, human rights, and baiting the world into free trade (meaning the rules-based order) for the betterment of all – and the consequence has been incontestable in every single measure.

    SO moral equivalencies across ages don’t apply.
