Loyalty (Ref. Philosophic Feeling: Unity) Group Tradition or Expression Is adopting social cultural values to network with others, building unity.
Cussing is using words that are opposed by a culture. This may be considered disloyal to a culture.
Loyal Silence is refraining from expressing flaws or weaknesses of one's associates that could be exploited by their opponents. An opposite of this is snitching where one openly reveals a flaw or weakness of an associate.
Honor as Authority Delegation (Ref. Philosophic Feeling: Honesty)
Integrity Attribution is the process of judging other people's level of integrity.
Goodwill as Social Capital
Open-Mindedness is an attribute of humility to acknowledge other people's intelligent experience as capable to help one determine truth.
Circumstantial Fairness is a voluntarily treating everyone in the same circumstance with the same cooperation, such as applying the same set of voluntary rules, standards of judgment, and same personal boundaries to all others. Circumstantial fairness is pressured voluntary equality such as everyone following the same rules for a game, everyone in a local area getting an equal opportunity to purchase something for sale, or giving the same gift to all of one's children. This contrasts with moral fairness that demands equality by force including equal authority, equal rights, and equal application of law.
Conflict of Interest is a circumstance in which one is expected to have a substantial challenge in treating a person expected to be favored fairly, such as selecting a job
candidate from a set of people that includes two strangers and one brother.
Classified Help is when some classes of people have a stronger standing for voluntary help than others, regardless of the individual specific behavior of those others. Unclassified help is given without consideration of the class of a person, such as by finding the greatest need for help.
Philosophic Living: Impulse Control:
Habit is a routine that is triggered by a cue and yields a reward. The trigger could be more internal such as an emotion like hunger or more external such as a suggestion from a friend.
Intentional Good Habit is to associate a specific trigger with a specific routine, and expect a specific reward. For example, one could associate an increase in light in the morning with waking up, and so create a routine time to wake up. They could then notice the specific opportunities and advantages of being up early. Consistently always doing the routine when the trigger occurs will help the process become subconscious and so require lower will power to do over time. In creation of the habit, the routine is specifically associated with the starting trigger, and then the reward or expectation of future reward focusing on pleasure is specifically noticed upon completion of the routine.
Breaking Bad Habits
Disrupting Bad Habits as Desire Reassociation can be done by redirecting your flow of desire to more beneficial priorities. When you desire something unhelpful, think about desires that are helpful to redirect your flow of desire.
Action Reassociation can be done by attaching another routine entirely for a specific trigger. Drinking alcohol or soda could be replaced by drinking tea. One can also make a point to notice on the negative impact as pain involved in a bad habit while avoiding focus on any pleasures of the bad habit.
Trigger Breaking May be accomplished at least in part by avoiding the initial triggering cue of the habit. For example, if one is bothered by bad news stories in ways that impact their sleep quality, one might be able to get the news in the morning instead.
Habit Environmental Change can help a bad habit end such as by avoiding events or people who are encouraging the bad habit. One can replace socializing with a friend who shares the bad habit with socializing with a friend who rejects the bad habit.
Impulse Moderation Moderate your emotions and reactions with reasoning to ensure the best life choices. When angry or excited, a time out before acting may help moderate impulses.
Deferred Gratification In decision making, consider that you may reap greater rewards and fewer punishments later on with patience and persistence such as by hard work more than acting on impulses that grant immediate reward.
Pain for Gain Finding the courage of painful actions can sometimes bring greater pleasure in the future. For example, living frugally to a lower standard than one's possessions, while securing savings for hard times can provide much needed help during an unexpected harsh time.
Philosophic Living: Thought Control: Skeptical Thought is thinking one thing, then evaluating an opposite. Counterfactual is evaluating the opposite of a fact for exploration of a topic. Both are useful ideas to build confidence in truth while reducing confidence in false beliefs. This is considered scientific thinking. If overdone, distraction can result, such as by an overflow of competing thoughts.
Thinking Challenges
Self and Shared Thinking Challenges Thinking challenges can be both within someone's mind, including as inner dialog, or in a group as expressed thoughts in a group conversation among multiple people. Handling thought challenges is substantially the same either way.
Negative Spiraling Thought is negative thought that happened because of another negative thought. This can
"swirl out of control" in one's mind. To handle negative feedback loops, accept that the negative thought occurs and tolerate it's existence. Consider whether the thought deserves any further attention. If so, evaluate the thought for realism or helpfulness. If the thought is unhelpful, re-focus on a better preferred thought.
Panic Tolerate and assess. First, tolerate personal experience, as life involves challenges. Next, assess the situation with reason including logic. Evaluate your options, including available help options, and then carefully make a good choice for the situation considering what the options are. Take relief in that you taking a choice given the options. Note that difficulty breathing or heart pain are sometimes signs of panic. If you have access to air, conscious controlled breathing may help such as by slower deeper and regular breaths, such as by breathing in, holding in, and breathing out for a number of seconds like five to nine seconds may help.
Intrusive Thought Intrusive thought is an unwelcome negative thought without usefulness, which is unhelpful such as by distraction. To handle such thought, accept existence of the negative, then consider evaluating the thought or immediately re-focusing on something better.
If wanting to evaluate the thought such as to avoid it in the future, avoid assuming motives of any people involved, and then re-focus on something better.
Exaggerative Thought When there is a realistically bad thought, it might then be exaggerated beyond what should confidently believed. With bad behaviors, an attitude of grace as undeserved forgiveness can be helpful in some circumstances like in moderating negative assumptions about others. When talking realistically, but negatively, with or without their presence, avoid negative exaggerated assumptions by moderating beliefs about them such as by reducing unnecessarily negative assumptions about others.
Defeatist Projection Is projecting an exaggerated idea of a character flaw or negative thought onto the self as a passive aggressive way of disagreement. For example, if one is called
"stupid" they could then think about doing something stupid on purpose. This could also be considered enabling by embellishment.
Abusive Thought as Negative Intrusive Thought is a negative thought against someone that happens because of hatred, a bad attitude, or bad mood, which isn't substantially related to the current threads of
thinking or goals. Instead of getting mad, get positive such as by focusing on goals. Reference stereotyping for examples of abusive thought. Try thinking five positive thoughts to counter against one negative thought.
Abusive Labeling is when a person calls another person by an unwanted label that they don't call them self. This is to avoid not just externally when expressing thoughts but also internally when contemplating people. By conflict resolution steps, attempt an alternative label which is neutral.
Skeptical Overflow Distraction can occur with "back and forth" skeptical thought when additional thoughts interfere with existing ones, such as when there are already opposing thoughts being evaluated, or when focusing on getting something accomplished is considered more important. First, recognize when there is too many
"back and forth" thoughts causing interference. Then, evaluate whether or not to contemplate the additional negative thinking later such as by writing it down.
Finally, re-focusing on more confident thoughts, while letting the excessive thought drift away.
Skeptical Underflow Delusion and wrongness can occur with insufficient skeptical thoughts. The truth is never afraid of being questioned. When a thought results in a surprisingly failed prediction, consider that it may be an incorrect thought that caused the failure. When other people have a surprisingly different or new perspective on something, consider whether it has been demonstrated true by experience or whether something else entirely could also explain it.
Connotational Noise Connotation is when a meaning of something invokes another meaning or emotion. Then, noise can happen when a semantic entity, such as a word or phrase, can split into multiple connotations, with the two connotations having substantial difference in emotional balance. An example of that is one looks at spilled red sauce and thinking about how it looks like blood from an injury. This may lead to an unwanted distracting thought pattern when the unintentionally emotional semantic (including word or phrase) is explored during a thought. Practicing focus discipline by giving a topic increasing long times of attention may reduce connotational noise.
Opposite Noise happens when the opposite of a meaning is evoked instead of its meaning, such as the phrase
"problem-free" reminding someone of their problems, or being very happy leading to someone worried about being less happy again. Unlike with skeptical thought, the original thought isn't completed such as being cut short by an irrational emotion. Negative connotations can be avoided by focusing on more positive thinking.
Memory Handling
3 Strikes Write It Out Memory Heuristic If memory has failed a 3rd time to do something and you cannot do it immediately, then write it down on a to-do list. This would be for actions you can forget three times without serious consequences.
Subliminal Psychology Each symbol and environmental perception received by the senses might be evaluated subconsciously by being almost but not quite noticed consciously.
Intentional Subliminal Message is where one places
message in the environment meant to be noticed subconsciously rather than consciously. In some circumstances this is considered unethical.
Word Psychology is the phenomenon of words having power. Emotive interjections like "wow" represent the reverse of this phenomenon as a power having a word.
Philosophic Living: Reasoning Heuristics Warranted Listening One earns attention for a topic according to their level of time devoted to a topic in proportion to their intelligence. A certification or degree merely is one indicator of many for how much time one has devoted to a topic.

Philosophic Living: Well-Being Heuristics: Achievement Heuristics
React to Solve Heuristic Find a problem, fix a problem. See an issue, address an issue. Take immediate personal responsibility to do your part for progress.
Procrastination Heuristic Is there a good reason to wait? If not, do not wait. If you must wait, consider to write it down on a to-do list.
Communication
Listening
Active Listening is ensuring your full awareness of both verbal and non-verbal cues and clues, and furthermore using empathy or imagination to put
Tell-Backs Heuristic Prove to your self and others you are listening well by relaying back to the speaker a summary of what you are hearing on occasion.
Sympathetic Mirroring is matching some of the circumstances of tone, body posture, and speech patterns of others, when listening to someone, to show sympathy with those others. This would be important when being sympathetic is important, such as an interview.
Expression Heuristics
Express your true mood and emotions without a misleading mask. One can be optimistic by focus but not by deception.
Be at liberty to laugh and cry.
It helps to be express your self assertively, clearly, and confidently, but calmly rather than aggressively. This is especially helpful for tense situations such as conflicts.
A direct approach of expression is usually the best, rather than talking around an issue in wishful hope of understanding.

There is no forceful language other than forceful action.
Initiative Show freedom and courage to speak up when there is an important topic that warrants the attention of others.
Bonding Heuristics
Do Sing. Do Dance.
Share life with others as friends, family, and neighbors. Consider getting a spouse. Regularly network and socialize with others for a better life.
Transparency as Openness Courageously and faithfully share your vulnerabilities with people who you trust.
Regularity Minding and managing the time enables success by discipline. Having a number of time cues each day such as six time cues can bring regularity to the day. Having a daily routine brings stability and balance to life.
Regular Muscle Exercise Aerobic exercise means using your muscles continuously for at least 10 minutes. Anaerobic exercise means using your muscles at or near maximum capacity until they are at or near failing to continue.
Aerobic exercise is healthy when done daily with one to two days off per week. Anaerobic is healthy when training each muscle one or two times a week. Dancing with others offers both exercise and unity at the same time.
Regular Stretching Stretching is helpful when done most days, stretching all joints at least twice a week.
Regular Breathing Exercise Long deep breaths, even just one deep breath, may offer anxiety relief. Balanced breathing is breathing in, holding in, then breathing out for the same number of seconds in each part. This can be done for a number of seconds like four seconds each to relax or longer like eight seconds each to help go to sleep. Conscious controlled breathing such as with specific timing helps for anxiety relief, sleep, and meditation.
Regular Brain Exercise is keeping your brain challenged on a regular basis to maintain mental strength.
Regular Meditation Meditation is helpful when done at least once a day for at least 10 minutes. Some people find three times a day to be best. Lighter forms of meditation can be done more often than that.
Regular Self Reflection is regularly evaluating your self
to keep you progressing though life, moving through issues, and getting help when needed. You can keep a log book, a journal, and consider your planning and progress in the short, medium, and long-term.
Regularly Connect to Nature Heuristic Regularly physically connect such as by exploration of your outdoor environment.
Regular Communication Heuristic Keep in touch with others for care, unity, and mental health.

For example, the 20-20-20 Sharma routine is to immediately exercise or stretch for 20 minutes after waking up in the morning, then reflect such as by meditation for 20
minutes, and then learn something such as by reading for 20 minutes.
Relaxation Heuristics
The first path to relaxation is stop thinking and just breath. Avoid dwelling on anxieties of past or the future by focusing on the positive, the peaceful, and the present.
Instead of trying to be cool or popular, just be yourself. If anxious, consider a casual, humorous, or accepting perspective.
Consider meditation, exercise, a hobby, a nap, a time out, stretching, or a connection with others to vent your issues as a way to relax both on a regular basis, and as a time away when anxious. Having a quite space may help one relax.
Positivity
Gratitude Heuristic Express gratitude for help and good behaviors. Adopt an attitude of gratitude to focus on the blessings of life. We may take joy with thanks from the gift of time, with every moment being a unique provision of life. We may take joy with thanks in the most simple and common experiences of life, and the small pleasures of life too.
Acknowledge or affirm the achievements of yourself and others. Recognize contributions of others.
Affective Faith is the belief that as you focus on something more, especially a hope, that something becomes more likely to manifest such as by coming to being or impacting the world. Some believe that this additionally requires divine support.

Help Help others in times of need.
Cooperation
Expect a follower to be no more loyal to their leader than the leader is loyal to their followers.
Humble Inspiration Everyone has important ideas and information to consider. Social or group ranking means very little for good ideas, important information, and innovation.
Humble Education Heuristic Learn from others, low and high. Adopt what others do right. Avoid what others do wrong.
Sustainable Partnerships Heuristic Seek long-term partners (including customers) of good will rather than short-term deals with resentment, such that partnerships and exchanges are more wanted than needed.
Assertiveness Heuristic Avoid automatically agreeing to everything others want from you and ask for support with. Consider if you really do agree, and really do want to do what it is that is asked of you, and accepting invitations to bond with others.
Philosophic Living: Civil Conflict Resolution: Constraint
Tolerance Different people may have fundamentally different virtues and values, and this can be tolerated when it is not causing harm.
Acceptance Ref. Philosophic Feeling: Acceptance Defensive Diligence
Speak Up Heuristic When someone is wronged, respectfully inform the wrongdoer why it was wrong. If the wrong isn't resolved, express the problem to someone you trust as a peer to resolve it together. If the wrong still isn't resolved, talk to ever more people who can help, and courageously consider going to people who are associated with the wrongdoer too. Move up the rungs of power carefully one at a time for a respectful resolution.
Resist Bullying Heuristic Punish rather than reward bullying behavior. Find courage to take needed action to stop bullying.
Maintain Evidence Heuristic When wronged, consider gathering and tracking all the evidence and noting all the people involved. Consider recording or logging everything that is important to prove your side of the conflict. If someone has evidence who may not be on your side, tell them to keep it in a public way.
Common Ground of Conflict Heuristic Determine what the people of the conflict have in common.
Civility Heuristic Discover which aspects of civility including virtues and values are shared and different with people in conflict.
Shared Premises Heuristic Discover what about the conflict is actually being agreed to without (presumptively) assuming disagreements of parts not specifically discussed.
Good Faith Heuristic Generously interpret other people's words and actions to their motives and interests. Consider negative claims about others about others with moderated skepticism.
Avoid Motive Presumption Heuristic Avoid (presumptively) assuming hostile motivations of another person. Focus on actions that have been proven and the words that are not in dispute as being said as being telling of motives.
Group Think Presumption Heuristic Avoid presuming that if someone has one bad opinion, they have all the bad opinions that are often shared in a group. While many groups do have pressure for members to conform to all opinions, that isn't always true.
Joint Resolution Consider whether there can be a win-win resolution. Consider whether the resolution is fair to all people of the conflict without excessive harshness or a resolution that causes extra unneeded attention.
Mediation is to enlist a mutually trusted person to help with resolving a conflict.
Negotiation is well begun by everyone expressing everything one wishes to have happen for the conflict resolution. Each side carefully decides what is admitted as being true for the conflict. Actively listen to everyone in the conflict to determine what a middle ground or compromise might be for a resolution. Everyone should have an opportunity to completely tell their side of the story for the conflict for complete listening.
Arbitration is enlisting a mutually trusted person to be a judge who determines the proper conflict resolution, which the people of the conflict pledge to adopt as the agreed resolution. This can be for any range of problems from a casual situation between friends over a minor issue, to a formal accusation between enemies over a major issue.
Hope of Reciprocity is when cooperative behavior is done with an expectation that cooperation will be offered back without any specific deal or additional signal that it is due.

Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperation Suppositional Heuristics:
Motivations For cooperation, only suppose someone's motivations if they are stated or otherwise proven in full by not only intuition but also scientific reasoning and actions. Actions speak louder than words, but neither words nor actions must define motivations. As cause and effect, causality defines motivations. Virtue and values define motivations. Intentions as will define motivations. The person expected to most know their virtues and values is them self, so we notice both expressions and actions in learning motives.
Diversity in Philosophy For cooperation, suppose different people to try different virtues and values.
Different people may maximize or satisfy different systems of virtue and value. People of sufficiently different values don't coexist peacefully except by keeping a distance from each other.
Conflicts Happen In a shared environment where different people have different values, for cooperation, suppose conflict to be inevitable.
Consistency of Philosophy To minimize the damages from conflict, suppose handling the conflict should be done consistently over time with consistent philosophy.
Adaption of New Philosophy To create more harmony, our philosophies may change to enable more successful life. All manners of the mind may be explored for such new philosophies.
Free Will For cooperation, suppose it to be a personal choice whether one person helps another, unless they have agreed otherwise or monopolized help for a need. With cooperation people have duties according to their moral duties to help others. Whether others uphold their moral duties is free will unless their actions are harmful towards others.
Protection for Others. For cooperation, suppose people to value protection others and property rights of others as defined by the Rainbow Rock Virtues.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Meanings: Reference: Rainbow Rock: Philosophic Living: Heuristic Foundations
Societal All things civic, civil, moral, and ethical are each societal.
Civic Freedoms A civic freedom is a universally preferable range of choices for maximum social harmony.
Civic Rights A civic right is a defensively protected behavior for satisfying social harmony and individual potential. The right to defense is one example of a civic right. It is preferable to live such that all people defend each other in protection of each other's lives when attacked.
Freedom vs. Right A freedom is a domain of choice that could be wrongfully stopped with force. A right is the protection of a freedom by physical force. All freedoms are also rights, but only some rights are also freedoms.
Civil Entitlement A resource one shares as part of a social contract agreement.
Right vs. Entitlement One does not have a right to other
people's property except as agreed by explicit social contract, after which one may become entitled to another person's property.
Emancipation and Choices Emancipation means you are personally responsible for your actions. We suppose people to be created as agents of another person, until they are emancipated. We suppose all people to have equal opportunity for emancipation. We suppose that people who are emancipated are capable of both good and evil.
Economy The well being to continue existence.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Natural Society: Natural Liberties The design of our universe guides us to liberties that naturally maximize our potential as a civilization. These liberties granted by nature begin with natural freedoms and expand with natural rights. For absolute and unwavering success, our liberties stand absolute and unwavering in dangerous situations, hazardous circumstances, and states of emergency. Our natural freedoms when protected by force become civic freedoms, and the method of protecting those freedoms are our civic rights. We enable voluntary choices and voluntary association, defend against harm, defend against property damage, do justice, and equalize opportunity, as developed from the Rainbow Rock virtues. Complete liberty can be secured for all emancipated people, not just one ruling class or people, through great sacrifice of body, mind, and labor. Our rights and freedoms end only where other's begin.
Natural Rules We follow the rules of nature because that provides effective and positive consequences without any mandate.
Golden Rule Care for others at least as well as you care for your self. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Carbon Rule Live and let live. Leave others alone as they leave you alone.
Noble Gas Rule Words against words, blades against blades. We limit our self to expression against wrongful expression, not force.
Natural Consequences People who make mistakes with liberties and people who treat others abusively but without physical violence under natural liberties do not go unpunished. The natural negative consequences including dishonor, distrust, social ostracism, and banishment from privately owned places, are sufficient to resolve all non-violent abuses of liberty. Inevitable negative effects are upon both the wrongful and their cared ones.
Natural Duties People who seek belonging to civilization are expected to participate as a civil servant to enhance civilization as they expect others to do the same. These civil duties are voluntary. People who fill their duties are expected to be honored, while people who neglect their duties are expected to be dishonored. When enough people tend to their duties, civilization flourishes.
Vengeance and Revenge Nature by the creator of our universe is responsible for ultimate justice when other justice otherwise fails. We focus on compensation for victims and prevention of violence, not vengeance or revenge. Vengeance and revenge may be a personal justice but is not a civic justice.
Intentional Community and Local Governance Because different people hold different values, different people benefit from different models of governance. Therefore, we maximize local authority and so minimize global authority
in allowance of different types of government for different types of people. In this way, diversity is a strength.
Civilization People who operate with both morals and ethics are a civilization, and so "civil".
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Civic Principles: Self Ownership All emancipated people are entirely the owner (as the sole proprietor) of their body as a sovereign domain.
Self Sacrifice All emancipated people can voluntarily release part or all of their emancipation, but only to be reclaimed at any time.
Property Ownership People may claim previously unclaimed objects harnessed by their body as the "fruits of their labor", where such property is their exclusive domain of control. Releasing effort of energy by people to objects including land creates an earning bond of those objects to the corresponding people.
Homestead Property Honor The first to establish their effort of energy to an object is considered an original property owner.
Threat A behavior which creates expectation of harm.
Property Transfer People may transfer property ownership to any other people of their choice for any reason, and have no attached civic duties or burdens while doing so except as voluntarily done at all times. It is the responsibility of the people involved to understand the transfer agreement as the unfairness of any resulting conflict is an opinion rather than fact.
Porcupine Principle Aggression is only for stopping wrongful acts of violence by others. Aggressive (physical) force is stoppable with (physical) force, but words only with words. This is also called non-aggression principle (NAP).
Civic Freedom We live free or die trying. Natural freedoms are liberties of both action and inaction in respect natural rules of force, for which we demand tolerance for by all people in all civil places at all times.
Civic Rights When one takes away a freedom of another, they have forfeit freedom to the same degree, and it is right to forcibly stop further erosion of freedom. Those who seek harm may be stopped with harm to them. Those who seek destruction may be stopped by destruction in their direction. As we secure our natural freedoms by forceful action, our natural rights also become our civic freedoms.
In judging others we so open our selves to judgment, and so mercy and care is encouraged in exercising our rights of defense.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Civic Freedoms: Freedom of Belief We may believe any belief and hold any disbelief, including any philosophy or no philosophy, any religion or no religion, any politics or no politics, any science or no science, any medicine or no medicine, anything, everything or nothing, at any and all times and any and all places. We protect each other from being harmed for our beliefs and being forced to pretend against our beliefs. The natural negative consequences of mistaken belief are sufficient punishment for all wrongful belief.
Freedom of Expression We are free to use symbolic expression we wish at any time and on any topic. We are free to copy recording impressions any time we wish for any purpose, as copying is never stealing. Silence, costumes,
and camouflage are likewise free. We are free to dress or undress our selves in any and all ways possible in all civilized places. Our own judgment is responsible for discovering the source of expression, the truth or falsity of expression, and the value of expression. Our own judgment is responsible for determining how to dress. We are free to use offensive, hateful, and blasphemous speech because one person's definition of hate is another person's definition of help. We may oppose what you say or wear as hateful, false, destructive, and vulgar, but we shall sacrifice our life so people have right to say these things. We defend each other from forced expressions or being (physically) harmed for our expression. Words against words, blades against blades. We are free to use knowingly false speech in any and all circumstances despite any oath or assurance to the contrary. Natural negative consequences including rebuking speech are sufficient to resolve all wrongful speech.
Freedom of Labor We are free to choose how we use our time and labor at any and all times while avoiding harm to others. Allocating our time and labor for any cause or "no cause at all" to any other person or people is our independent personal choice. False authority of fear is slavery and subjugation, not authority. We are free to labor for our self or for anyone and everyone at their request, in any way we wish, without permission from others. Our own judgment is responsible for determining whether someone is qualified to help us with their labor in the way they claim capable, so others may not forcefully interject their labor opinion. All this is true while (physical) damage to others with our labor is avoided. We protect each other from forced labor and forced assistance.
All assistance of all kinds, including assistance for justice and life-saving, is always our choice. We protect each other's right to use and trade our labor freely as agreed with others. Natural negative consequences including starvation, freezing, and parchment are sufficient to punish poor labor choices and societies who do not help each other voluntarily.
Freedom of Travel We are free to travel around and through all open terrain as we respect other people and their property, camping overnight as needed, and drinking from waters as needed. We are free to travel around people's land on boundaries or through designated rights of way to be able to travel forward, lest we otherwise be obstructed from accessing a land where there is permission to be. We are free to travel on all paths of transportation without anyone's permission as we refrain from harm in each of those modes of transportation. We are free to alter our vehicles of travel in any way the laws of physics allows until after physical harm happens, because personal safety is individually our personal responsibility, not the responsibility of others as a collective, and our property is our right to be reformed in any way the laws of physics allow. We acknowledge anonymous and equal cost burden to any tolls required of the path maintainer to access a maintained path, as all users pay their share of that burden. During our travel it is other people's responsibility to identify us, not our responsibility to identify our selves to others for our right to remain silent at all times for every purpose. During our travels anyone stopping us must have a just and probable cause.
When stopped, inaction and retreat is our freedom, though upon an injustice a pursuit of the suspect is our freedom
too. We are free to hunt and gather in communal space and our private spaces regardless of any other's demands while respecting sustainability of nature as determined by the customs of the hunters and gatherers of the locality. We protect each other from harm and wrongful stops during our travel. We protect each other (by any force) to be able to travel through friendly and neutral places.
Freedom of Association We are free to engage or disengage any and all associations including friendship, commerce, alliance, and membership, as we wish with anyone and everyone we wish, at any time we wish. We are free to have and and all romantic relationships with any and all emancipated consenting people. We assert and protect our rights and freedoms as independent individuals even when voluntarily associating with or joining a collective. We protect each other from punishment beyond the natural consequences for associating with others.
Freedom of Trade We trade anything in our possession with any person in the universe at any time we wish and protect each other from harm beyond the natural consequences of doing so. This includes information and our labor services.
We never ask permission from others to trade anything because trading is our freedom. All agreements are cancelable without justifying (physical) force being used in retaliation against the canceling participant, though the resulting property rights may be forced. Likewise, we have a right to avoid trading with any person with for any reason, either individually or collectively, though only to the point where a persons needs to continue life are respected rather than monopolized by arbitrary constraint, so an alternative being offered to the contrary. We have a right to pay for only services we agree to use, and use our money exclusively for any goods, services, and welfare of our choice. All trading and trade refusal, including trading of any and all weapons and offensive material, is peaceful and non-violent. All people have a natural license to engage in any business they deem them selves able to be involved in regardless of lack of permission from false authorities who claim the right to monopolize business by dispensing business rights. It is the personal responsibility of buyers to properly assess the capability of sellers, and the responsibility of sellers to properly assess the capacities of buyers. We protect each other with force from interference in our trading freedoms. Natural negative consequences are sufficient to punish all unwanted trading.
Freedom of Assembly We are free to gather near others in communal places, at any time in any numbers without any permission from or requirement for notification to any other people. We do this while respecting the freedom of travel of others. We are free in this way to rally for causes, protest wrongs, and criticize any person or entity for any reason at any time. We protect each other from being harmed for our peaceful assemblies.
Freedom of Choices We are free as emancipated people to chose or refuse any and all substances to be consumed or used, romantic relationships with any and all other emancipated people, caregiving for any and all unemancipated people with any and all others, taking personal risks as agreed with any and all other adults, and any and all ways we treat our own bodies. We are free to risk or damage our selves while avoiding (physical) damage to other people and their property. We are free to help others and free to avoid the smallest sacrifice of helping
others in all circumstances. We build our land individually as we see fit limited only by the laws of physics, without permission from anyone at all, while respecting local pollution limits. We protect each other's freedom of choice with force.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Civic Rights: Right to Equal Authority Civil authority is trust in judgment. Trust is to be earned, not commanded. Delegation of authority grants rights limited to those natural rights which people already have, so we may not delegate rights which we don't have our selves. We protect each other with force against forceful demanded authority or respect.
Right to Defense We may defend our selves and others from intentional unprovoked (physical) damage with any force of our choice, causing any or all damage to the wrongful attacker until the threat is stopped. When the wrongful violence is done in response to abusive expressions (such as by verbal provocation), accidental neglect, or futile aggressive attacks, the force used must be limited in severity according to the level of violence expected to stop the threat. After stopping a threat, we may use force only to restrain the attacker. People initiating violence against others are expected lose freedoms in proportion to their level of initiated violence or damage. People incapable or unwilling to refrain from wrongful violence on an ongoing basis may be imprisoned, relocated, or restrained on a long-term basis according to their level of danger to others. We forcefully defend each others buildings, land fixtures, formally marked or fenced land, and other property from other people entering without permission of the owner or a formal consistent justice process, as the people using such property respect the rights and freedoms of others. Travelers are expected to be forced to a standard for pollution including light pollution, noise pollution, particulate pollution, or other pollution that is applied equally to all travelers.
Travelers may be forced to keep moving while bordering or in land where they are banished from during travel on adjacent rights of way. Inaction as resistance and retreat are our right in any and all circumstances as a natural response to an attack, whether the attack is justified by the attacker or not. Catch us if you can, but we defend our self against punishment for lack of cooperation. When someone is behaving in a way that is believed likely to cause physical injury to others, we may forcibly stop them for warning. A person stopping someone for warning must follow a formal and consistent method. If the warned person then ignores the warning resulting in damages, the consequences are expected to be more severe than otherwise.
Right to Caregiving We defend our ability to bond with others, both people or living bodies of nature, as their exclusive caregiver or caregivers when they cannot take care of them self such as by child birth or by debilitation. We may protect our cared as we protect our self. Any caretaker may delegate, split, or transfer status as caregiver with others by public decree. As a caregiver, we decide what actions benefit our cared, what medical actions will help our cared if any, what education will help our cared if any, and what nutrition will benefit our cared. Only actions that caused, or will cause beyond any and all doubts, long term (physical) damage by a caregiver to their cared are sufficient to forcibly transfer caregiver status to others. Short term damage should result
in public notice but not removal. Emancipated people are expected to delegate to a trusted organization a formal and consistent process by which they can be assigned to a caregiver upon debilitation. Without that declaration, the local customs are expected to decide who the replacement caregiver shall be. In a formal and consistent way, we may defend living bodies of nature as we defend our property while such bodies in nature are peaceful to us. Even dangerous and evil people are expected to be cared for in a civilized society. We defend our right by force as emancipated people to physical proximity to any and all other restrained adult people for purpose of generally helping them (unless they object), whether they are emancipated or not, for at least most of the time on a daily basis, including dangerous people (including those stopped for investigation). We may force our way to help others in restraint to ensure their bodily nutrition and temperature needs are met to local standards, to exercise our freedom of expression with the cared in close proximity, to supplement their nutrition and temperature preferences such as with a thick blanket or a wet fabric for cooling, and act as witness to monitor for any abuses by restrainers or captors at any and all times such as by public access camera and microphone as the restrained person allows.
Right to Property and Self Upon emancipation, we each own our physical bodies in full to do as we wish, including harm to self, while respecting the rights of others. As we invest our energy in objects by moral and ethical ways, we own those objects as extensions of our self. Only the laws of physics determine what items we can own, keep or make on our land, and carried in public ways. People may create, grow, own, and develop any item they wish, while that item isn't being used to harm others. People may keep everything they earn such as wages, gifts, and compensation. People may keep any amount of any thing for any length of time they wish. We defend each other's ability using force to peacefully obtain and keep, and build on our land, anything we want at any time while such things are not harming others. Such a defense provides privacy and private property. We may arm our selves in every way for defense against any and all threats, both real and imaginary, and bring such military force anywhere and everywhere we travel. We keep our family and neighborhoods safe in part by being well armed both independently as individuals and collectively as militias. Copying is a protected activity as our freedom of expression, not considered theft, when the original is left undamaged. In response to the force of taking property without permission of the owner, we use the minimum force necessary to take it back such as by entering the thief's property without their permission as needed to do so for justice. We may furthermore interpret trespassing by a thief to our constructions as an act of violence and defend our self accordingly. Property rights are rights of equal opportunity to needs, so when a need is being used to take away another need of greater value, as a monopoly and wrongful leverage, force may be used to re-open such opportunity. This is because energy investment is honored as an ownership of objects rather than people, who would be implicitly owned with enough wrongful leverage.
Right to Civic Justice We act to prevent damaging violence by being vigilant, by being well trained and well armed, and by identifying, arresting, and restraining or re-locating violent people. We help victims of damaging
violence to receive compensation and constrain attackers.
Revenge and vengeance are a privilege neutral to civic justice, while defense and victim compensation are a right of civic justice. Victims of violence are expected to have the strongest influence in civic justice against the violator. A formal and consistent system of justice enables us to live orderly lives. Wrongful harm is expected to be resolved with compensation provided by the person doing harm, using peer pressure instead of force. Force may be used to constrain violent attackers from further attacks.
Force may be used is to return property to its owner if stolen, giving it to the most justified owners when the current owner dies, or holding it pending a prompt verdict of justice when used for evidence of wrongdoing. Force may be used to prevent people engaged in punishment from being more cruel than the wrong itself. We are considered as innocent unless declared guilty by a consistent and formal trial verdict. A suspect until then might be considered
'guiltbound' as informal opinion but not in the process of justice. We may demand such a judgment by a jury our peers with a public audience open to all and their recording devices unless both suspect and victim (or associated caretaker if unemancipated) request otherwise. Any and all evidence used against a suspect, and any investigation information used against a suspect, must be certainly accessible by both the victim and suspect at all times. We must provide a formal, consistent, and kind living space to people in our captivity. With justice, we protect not just specific classes of people, but all people equally. We appeal to people's rights, not rights of one class. We force people to be gentle to those in captivity while the captive is being gentle. The only allowed reason for holding a person in captivity is an unacceptable chance that they will do wrongful physical violence if released.
Justice inaction unsupportive of justice, include a failure to pay financial interest charges and resisting arrest by inaction. Natural reflexive defense includes defensive posturing or fleeing in retreat is justice neutral. Justice negative actions include destruction of evidence of a crime after learning of an investigation and physical attack to stop an investigation. Penalty stacking for justice neutral action or inaction, is itself injustice, because the burden justice is on agents of justice, not on evaders of justice.
Penalty stacking for natural reflexive defensive is unjust because healthy human nature is to defend and run from danger. Penalty stacking for justice negative actions is just.
Right to Investigate Both accusers and the accused are entitled to a formal and consistent process of investigation before any action of justice resolution.
Evidence of guilt reduces privacy rights to the degree that civic harm may be suspected by the evidence. People accusing someone of a wrong and seeking formal justice are expected to identify them self, required as a condition of that justice, to their accuser, if the accuser requests. If someone is suspected of a civic wrong as a result of justly obtained evidence or trustworthy testimony, an investigator may force a search of the accused or their property without permission of the accused, but with permission of a person confirming validity of the search who has an honored record of likely guilty verdicts for those being searched. Forced searches must be done in a formal and consistent approval and search process. Searchers must be gentle with their searches, compensating others for any damages done to them
or their property during the search, and maintain the property in the same condition and orderliness as the beginning of the search. If someone is believed more likely than not to harm a specific person, or there is a probability of damage to an unspecific victim by dangerous behaviors, we may forcibly stop someone and arrest them.
Like with searches, an investigator must have an honored record of likely guilty verdicts for those being stopped or arrested and also follow a formal and consistent process.
If there is evidence a person has committed an act of violence, they may be forced to a formal trial with a consistent and speedy process to determine a verdict.
Evidence must be released to its owners after the trial.
Upon probable cause of committing a crime, we will catch you if we can by force, without penalty or punishment for inaction or retreat beyond natural consequences.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civics: Civic Responsibility and Authority:
Foundation Authority, responsibilities, and duties all rest atop the many rungs of goodwill as defined earlier with the Ladder of Civility (Ref: :Philosophic Living:Ladder of Civility).
Personal Responsibility Each person in a collective is just as responsible for their actions as they are outside of the collective. When doing a job for another, you do a job for your self. When acting for another, you act for your self. Every action you do for your collective is an action you do for your self. It is the laws of physics that may take things outside your responsibility or control, while the laws of people take nothing entirely outside your control. Following the law of people is a choice until the laws of physics take away the choice, and supporting and obeying a law is likewise a choice, albeit with consequences.
Passive Responsibility When someone is able to do something because you indirectly enabled them including by trading, informing, and energizing, then you have passive responsibility. If a persons actions are considered harmful as a result, this is negative enabling. Passive responsibility delivers an ethical responsibility of civility. For example, if smoking a substance is unhealthy, and you sell them the substance knowing they will smoke it excessively, there is an ethical responsibility to avoid selling them the substance even when though doing so is within our natural rights. There is an ethical responsibility to inform people about the dangers they are expected to encounter as an indirect result of one's actions.
Authority of Principle A set of preferred principles, generally as virtues and values, are authority, with people only having authority in terms of how closely they align them selves with those principles. People having maximum alignment would be considered to have equal authority.
Principles may include concepts such as virtues, values, morals, ethics, and logic.
Legitimacy of Authority Those who do good gain legitimate authority. It is logical fallacy to believe someone because of their authority. It is emotional folly to ignore someone because of their authority. Empowering authority is only well done on the terms of the submitter. Delegating power is only well done at the terms of the delegator. People are responsible for the actions done on their behalf by delegated authority. Authority by fear is enslavement.
Authority by love is civilization.
Root Authority of Liberty and Law Principles define good behavior. Those acting on such good behaviors legitimize their authority. Alternative sources of authority including strength, popularity, and merit, are not a respectable source for authority of law.
Emancipation and Choices For emancipation, a person is capable of maintaining their own life and living space without help except their necessary physical resources. For emancipation, a person proves capable of good choices when evil selfish choices are available. An emancipated person proves capable of expressing and then achieving personally variable goals. For emancipation, a person proves mature as being capable of deferred gratification and having an ability to recognize and learn from mistakes at least defined on their own terms. For emancipation, a person should be either physically capable of safe reproduction at the current time, or past the average age of safe reproduction ability given the type of body. When enough of these emancipation factors are true to the satisfaction of others in their local community, then a person is emancipated.
Law A (civic) law is a method of people forcing others to behave in certain ways. Civic Laws are the behaviors that are forced upon people by one or more other(s).
Due Diligence of Law Using physical force against another is an extreme measure having extreme consequence.
Supporters of law are expected to have both logical and intuitive investigation into their legal theories. People don't forget emotion in their theories, but evidence and reason is sometimes forgotten. Those who support laws in any way are expected to sense their effectiveness and inform law initiators and other enforcers of the effectiveness of such laws, and all participants are expected to help eliminate or change laws that are ineffective or unhelpful. Objective and subjective analysis of laws should be ongoing. Confident judgments on theory alone are unacceptable, because theories require trials and evidence. Creation and maintenance of any or all laws should involve learning, discovery, and intelligence. Only mindful and evidenced participation is encouraged, while ignorant participation is discouraged.
Rule vs Law and Ostracism. A rule is behavior that is encouraged by social pressures. Ostracism is ignoring someone or shameful criticism of that person in public.
Breaking rules results in ostracism for any given rule violation. To criticize behavior in secret is a mere confrontation, while shameful criticism in public is a form of ostracism. If the criticism lacks shame, it isn't ostracism. Shame is to express distrust of someone. Laws threaten physical force of defense.
Suggestion The natural consequences of failing to follow a suggestion are the only penalty for not following a suggestion. So, the three forms of governance are therefore suggestion, rule, and law which exist on a continuum ranging from pure suggestion to pure rule to to pure law.
Within that spectrum, a line is drawn upon which ostracism and shame is recommended, and another line is drawn upon which defensive force is also recommended.
Victory Defines Law Laws are effective by definition. If a physical force isn't effective in getting people to behave the desired way, it isn't then a law except as a
'paper law' technicality. When people want something, they sometimes use force to accomplish their mission. The force
could ignore any and all rules or competing laws established to stop the behavior for accomplishment. If such a behavior is not stopped by force, their use of force renders the law void (as a mere rule, not a law) either entirely or at least to some degree. When the ruler of force deters the disobedience to the degree needed to stop it, only then is the rule a law. Paper laws and actions by enforcers are attempts of law, while victory by the mighty is the law. Laws are always what is, and never necessarily what should be.
Centralization of Authority. A centralized authority is a top-down structure where a small number of people control a larger number of people. An entirely top-down structure is where a single person has full authority over all aspects of a collective. A bottom-up structure is where authority emerges from individuals within the collective. There is generally a continuum of bottom-up to top-down where organizations may have some aspects of authority that are top-down while others are bottom-up.
Local Governance Only authority that a person has independently on their own accord can be delegated to others. Leaders are expected to be empowered by delegating to them authority which we have as individuals who unite under sufficiently similar virtue and value. We expect that our family and neighbors care about us more than other people who are less like us in far away places, so we generally prefer decentralization of authority. When someone knows you as a person, being able to recognize your personal identity, and might give you the same attention as their personal friends, they can give you full care. People who can give you full care are generally better delegates of your authority than are people incapable of caring for you as a friend and neighbor. A person who has no knowledge of your existence in a distant land is not your authority, unless you formally agree without any wrongfully applied pressures that the person should be your leader, and that person has your definite moral support. By encouraging diversity of governance, we offer people choices of governance that fit their personality, their virtues and values, and their lifestyle. So, people who are unique and special will be able to discover a governance model that allows them to be in an environment that allows them to succeed given their diversified life goals. Those who wish to be ruled someone who is unaware of their existence in a distant land may submit them self, however those who wish to reject that in favor of a local leader who knows them may do so as well.
Kindness to Restrained People Restrained people including captives, arrested, or otherwise stopped people are entitled to a minimum duty of care. The physical standard of living support is expected to be similar, except for amount of space in freedom, to the local population of the place of accuser at the time of the alleged physical violence. This is required of the restrainers, except as considered luxury by that population. Such standards are expected to include water when thirsty, wetting fabric and fluid when hot, nutrition, bedding, personal basic grooming, and medical care. Such standards include a private secure area for bathing and sleeping also when the local population has the same. Local standards of pollution including limits of noise pollution, air pollution, and water pollution should also be upheld.
Duty to Disobey We disobey morally wrong commands except to temporarily deceive stronger enemies. Bowing to evil is
a great mistake. This mistake will be relegated to the past. We stand ready to sacrifice our lives so that good may prevail. We only know victory over evil and fight all else to the grave and beyond.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civil Participation: Civilization Natural liberties including emancipation, independence, and rights are respected by civil cooperation and societal agreement. Legitimate societal authority is developed by voluntary cooperation. Firstly, acceptance of individual responsibility leads to respect upon developing their ethical obligations of cooperation. Then, acceptance of collective responsibility enables people to gain honor for developing their moral duties of cooperation.
Individual Responsibility, Civil Ethics Obligations are ethical expectations to avoid risk, temptation, and conflict, derived from people's social circumstances and choices. Promises as professed by a person create obligations. Implication of a job or task creates an obligation. Commitments of service are obligations.
Respect Adherence to values and expectations as a person meets their obligation earns individual respect.
Acknowledgment of accomplished obligations is respect.
Avoidance of negative expressions such as insults is respect. Treating people with dignity according to cultural standards is respect. Paying tribute to others as obligated is respect.
Disrespect Action that denies or reverses a warranted respect.
Collective Honor, Civil Morals
Duty is the expectations of behavior for a common good as shared virtues or values. People are expected to live according to their philosophy, including their standards and morals. As people group together in consensus of morals, duties are the expectation of behaving according to those goals. A duty is also an obligation when assured to others. An obligation is also a duty when voluntarily agreed to.
Honor Honor is the acknowledgment of cooperation with others and the contribution of others. Delegation of control to a common good or group representing a common good is honor. Recognition of virtuous character is honor. acknowledgment of performance is honor.
Attribution of credit is honor.
Dishonor Action that denies or reverses warranted honor.
Society vs Civilization A society are people that have rules which govern their behavior which may be involuntarily forced rules. A civilization is a society of voluntary civil cooperation in protection of liberties and personal independence.
Participation Encouragement Civilized people have a duty of care as part of a civilization to participate in organizations that enable civilization, and a duty of care to be leaders when capable of doing so. People are responsible for organizations they are involved with both as individuals and collectively. People are expected that if they are concerned with something being done rightly as part of an organization, to take it upon them self to ensure it is done well. People are not expected to wait for others to initiate action but rather initiate action as they are capable. Those considering them less intelligent, less wise, and less capable than average should consider
them self civil followers, while those considering them self more intelligent, capable, or wise than average should consider them self civil leaders. Yet everyone can participate, and everyone can be part of leadership. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. We encourage maximization of abilities including leadership abilities for any and all organizations for maximizing strength in numbers as a unified collective. Yes we can, yes we will!
Volunteering Firstly, a person joins an effort without having been forced. Secondly, they participate in the effort without any direct economic benefit to them self. If you see a problem, solve a problem. If you get an instinct to wait, question yourself as to why wait.
Experience Sharing. When you learn something profound, consider sharing it. When you have an epiphany, consider to share it. When you improve your self, please share it. When you suffer a serious setback, please share it. Lets learn others mistakes so we don't have to learn from our own mistakes.
Honor and Shame We encourage participation in both formal and informal systems of honor and shame according to the system of one's tribe and culture.
Information Sharing People are encouraged to share information and content they find valuable with friends as a means to build virtues and values with people they care about. People are encouraged to consider the lives of those in their intentional community, and help them by developing information exchange.
Value Signaling Participation Being involved with a project for the appearance of caring about an effort and gaining the associated esteem. This is helpful when you actually care about the virtue or value in addition to appearing to care.
Private civility is people managing private land with general civility. This includes allowing people to visit to at least one designated place such as an entry way for inquiries as visitors. This also includes avoiding character judgments based on surface appearances. We expect civilized people to help others in emergencies by providing points of contact to help providers, directions to lost people, and temporary shelter if available during natural disasters or raids by hostile people. We encourage kindness such as basic respect. We encourage people to be well armed to provide civic defensive help.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Alignment Foundation:
Mandated Negotiations Any disagreement on what harm is, or justification of violence against another person is, mandates negotiation to properly resolve any related conflict. This is considered a mandate and therefore also a civic duty because it is implied that harm results from inaction without negotiation. This is why it is challenging for people to live together in peace as everyone tends to develop differences of perspective with both varying values and varying individual experiences. If one does ignore harmful actions by others, they may be rewarding violent behaviors and making the problem worse or otherwise enabling harm. In that regard, there is an obligation to take action to avoid such situations such as by negotiations. Issues on a spectrum (such as abortion) having multiple different definitions for boundaries of harm, generally make negotiations mandatory as people cannot be expected to agree on 100% of definitions of harm
Civic and Civil Alignment People are encouraged to network together for societal alignment of civil and civic ways.
Civic Social Pressure People are encouraged to behave in ways that enable civilization, especially in response to uncivil behaviors. People are informed why they should behave according to a set of virtues and values, such as the Rainbow Rock virtues and values. With Civic social pressure, honor goes to those who behave well, and shame to those who behave badly. Peer pressure applied in good ways is civic social pressure.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Philosophic Perspective Matching:
Cooperation Cooperation is achieved by carefully considering philosophic similarities and differences.
Networking with like-minded people to achieve goals, and otherwise persuade others to join a unified perspective in creation of shared goals. Perspective matching is important for mutual trust, forming alliances, and forming communities.
Factors of Cooperation Factors of cooperation include personality, family values, friendship perspective, alliance perspective, community perspective, resource tactics, networking strategies, philosophy of cooperation, philosophy on life, and shared virtues and values. Certain factors of cooperation are more important than others for different purposes. Each factor determines how closely people may cooperate and for what purposes.
Tribal Stripe Different ways of life make different people happy. Certain ways of life are incompatible and conflicting with other lifestyles. People are encouraged to form intentional communities as tribal strips along how it is they expect to be able to cooperate with others.
Hierarchy of Unifying Factors At each level of cooperation, people may unite or divide for different purposes. People are expected to develop factors for unification and division along these philosophies to decide who it is they wish to cooperate with. The closer to a match they are from another person, the generally closer they should seek to be both physically and mentally. The further of a match, the more distance from that person they should seek to establish as they reconcile these differences.
Intentional Community is the process of determining who a participant can feel comfortable in living proximity with, forming personal relationships with, and forming organizational relationships with. Without sufficient agreement on factors of cooperation, participants may consider each other opponents with contradictory goals.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Hierarchy of Unification:
Unity of Logistics People's location offers a range of contact which determine who they can communicate or otherwise interact with. Controlling one's location is a foundation in physics for unity. The further away people are, the less able they are to unify. Internet communications allow the possibility of longer-distance unity, though it is not as strong of a unity as an be offered by closer physical proximity.
Unity of Goodness Philosophy of good includes virtues, morals, ethics, rights, freedoms, and other foundational
philosophies. When people agree on these factors, they can likely cooperate for any purpose, but upon disagreement there will likely be conflict for any purpose as one person's perspective of harm is the other's perspective of help. Dividing behaviors into good and bad unites people as they agree while dividing people as they disagree. Unity of Goodness requires Unity of Logistics to be able to connect in the first place.
Unity of Communications People's range of communication abilities and and protocol capabilities determine the limits of who they can form agreements with. Unity can only be achieved with a shared language or expression. Without recognition and sharing of intentions, there is no merger of consciousness. Improved communication skills lead to improved unity. Unity of Communications requires a Unity of Logistics for connections.
Unity of Philosophy of Cooperation Agreement on methods for voluntary agreements (including contracts), social manners, protocols of exchange, handling conflict, and methods of earning respect and trust. Agreement on tolerated proximities (such as what is considered an invasion of space) and tolerated behaviors of others.
Without agreement on how to agree, there are no agreements of any kind. Unity on Philosophy of Cooperation requires a Unity of Communications.
Unity of Force Philosophy of force determines which virtues, morals, or ethics are to be forced on others. A pacifist would never force any ethic on others. A non-aggression principle adherent would force another person to refrain from physically harming others. A dictator would generally always force any and all their virtues, morals, and ethics on others with ample opportunity to do so economically. A harmonious Unity of Force requires Unity of Goodness, because otherwise philosophies may be attempted to be forced without an agreement that what is being forced is good in the first place.
Law is a unity of forced behavior.
Unity of Governance is a social bond as a set of behaviors based on Unity of Force and Unity of Philosophy of Cooperation. Based on this shared philosophy, people may establish and implement their shared perspective collectively as a governing body. This is encouraged by negotiating shared agreements on governance together in a compromise when there would be otherwise an insufficient strength of numbers for a population or intentional community. So, people may form a collective representing agreement on using force for personal self-defense, and another group forms agreement on collective self-defense.
These groups are two different layers of unity that can then merge into an alliance because their values to not conflict. Governance agreements may also include voluntary submissions, allegiance, or loyalty to an authority or government organization for final judgments.
Economic Governance
Agreement of economic governance, where participants declare a set of philosophies that govern their commercial contracts and civic behaviors of exchange.
Social Governance
Agreement of social governance for agreement on topics such as terms of self-defense.
Unity of Values and Vision An interest group based on the importance of a topic or virtue. A shared domain of intentions for the future. Success in this shared vision is
expected to depend on a shared unity on more fundamental topics like a unity of governance.
Topic Knowledge Trust is Trust based on either a shared interest or confidence in another's knowledge regarding a specific topic.
Unity of Resources Agreement among people for resources to be exchanged or otherwise allocated for a goal.
Unity of Strategies
Summary
The methods decided upon to allocate resources to accomplish a goal.
Transparency-Privacy Balance
Agreement of expectations of what information is expected to be shared to the public domain and what information is expected to be kept private.
Unity of Tactics The specific implementation of strategies done to accomplish a goal.
Unity of Family and Friends: See Civic Unity Motions and Actions section.
Unity of One The strength of one's mental ground is the integrity of their system of values. A mature mind offers resilience of perspective during life's challenges.
Development of a strong mental ground in place of scattered incohesive thinking creates unity of mind. Properly prioritizing, recognizing, and organizing one's system of virtues and values provides a platform on which someone can know them self and their goals. Having a unified mind internally allows one to well unite externally with others for intimate personal relationships. See Rainbow Rock:Philosophic Feeling for a philosophy offering internal unity.
Perspective Unity Development
Summary People are encouraged to form agreements upon each of these layers of unification to form a strong collective bond. By Unity of Philosophic Perspective, Unity of Organization, and Unity of Consensus Action, unity is achieved.
Unity of Philosophic Perspective A Philosophic Perspective consists of Unity of Communications, Unity of Philosophy of Cooperation, Unity of Force, and Unity of Governance.
Unity of Organization Agreement of Unity of Philosophic Perspective, Unity of Values and Vision, and Unity of Resources may be considered an organization, a collective, and a cooperative. People are encouraged to communicate with each other when they share these factors. Formation of consumer unions, purchasing agencies, businesses, cooperatives, charities, and any other organization type provides strength in numbers to achieve goals more effectively.
Unity of Consensus Action An organization forms Unity of Strategies and Unity of Tactics for effectiveness as a Unity of Consensus Action. A Unity of Consensus offers its participants the full strength of numbers.
Value Match Quiz A series of questions designed to determine whether someone should consider them selves part of a philosophy, or provide others with access to a specific domain of information. A person with opposing values to an organization is more likely to violate the privacy of that organization, and so if values are sufficiently different, the person should be denied access to the service of the organization. This quiz is expected to be used before any controversial information service is provided, and especially a service
controversial to the same jurisdiction as both the service provider and the service recipient.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Civic Unity Motions and Actions:
Intentional Community is a group of people who share their philosophy with like-minded people in close proximity. By joining together in proximity, people may find compounding strength in numbers, while enjoying unity with others. By networking with like-minded people, harmony is increased. Goals become more achievable as the number of supporters generally increases in an environment of shared virtues and values.
Unity of Family Agreement on family values enables formation of a family as with a marriage. Agreements on family include handling of children, boundaries of behavior with each other and consequences of such behavior.
Agreement on a range of who is allowed into a family for different purposes form agreement on family.
Unity of Friendship Agreement on values enables formation of friendships or alliances. Friendship includes shared interests, joint efforts, and time in proximity.
Civil Organization Organizations with a declared allegiance to civil behaviors of a specific philosophy may be considered a civil organization as their actions match to their words. Such organization expects to gain support the more honorable its behaviors in competition with other organizations who may be more or less honorable.
Organizations of this type may gain honor by being publicly transparent with their accounting, management, and activities. Organizations may extensively express their priorities of virtues and values for extensive cooperative alignment.
Civic Charter Organization A civic charter organization is a civil organization (with formal loyalty to the principles of governing people), that enables all its property to be transferred by force by judgment of a governing body when deemed justified, in exchange for the opportunity for a higher level of public support. A civic charter organization is considered a "public organization"
even if privately owned because they wish to subjugate their property to standards of civilization, and they intend their offerings to be maximally available to all of civilization. This may contrast with an independent person whose ownership may be more difficult or entirely impossible to change by force depending on government. A civic charter organization delegates authority over their organization property to a governing body for governing purposes, effectively giving that body the authority to transfer property to other people at their discretion and giving that governing body the highest ownership rights as a trustee of the assets. So, the governing body decides how the property may be used but are discouraged and disallowed from directly using that property for the direct benefit of the governing body. This is done under trust that the transfers will be solely to transfer resources from any people doing a moral, civic, or civil wrong to people who are victims of that wrongful behavior. The governing body is expected to account for the organization activity by monitoring, reviewing, enforcing contracts, and so on.
Corporate Formation Currently, corporations are organizations where you get extra rights and privileges in exchange for money. Instead, corporations could be claims of loyalty to a certain priority of virtues and values
shared under a group having delegation of authority.
Corporations could then work as an organizational alliance.
Corporations may reform as Civic Charter Organizations.
Spark Start One person begins to solve a problem with the opportunity for others to join for shared completion of an effort.
Critical Mass Initiative People are encouraged to collectively begin an effort if a certain number of others join the cause.
Civil Trade Union Where there exists a problem with unequal negotiating power, unions are expected to be developed. Civil trade unions are generally formed at the time of this writing as consumer cooperatives and labor unions. However, these organizations are only valid to the degree they are not granted extra rights or forced privileges unobtained by others, which renders many or most of these organization's dishonorable entities. Unions are able to solve problems of monopolisic leverage without violence.
Civil Public Organization A civil public organization is a collectively owned organization. If for-profit, the method of making it public is for the organization to issue transferable interest shares where any owner may transfer their shares to any person of their choice for any reason of their choice.
Fluid Collective is a collective in which organizational control transfers without an internal process from one person to another, such as by stock ownership. This fluidity is what make the organization a type of "public organization" or "publicly owned organization". This contrasts with a private organization which membership is exclusive and transferred only with approval. The natural state of organization is fluidity because organizations can outlast the creator's interests or lives.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Staircase of Resolution:
Summary Recommended steps of conflict resolution to achieve cooperation, with a floor of incivility. Uses steps of carefully scaled dispute resolution connecting local civility to broad civic resolution.
Gas Exhaustion - When two people are unable to resolve their differences by means of words including mediation and arbitration.
Remedy Deadlock - When two people are unable to resolve their differences by any means, including words or actions of any kind, and no further progress is expected.
Dispute Resolution Escalation Flow
Direct Flow to Causing Person In any conflict, the first person to consider approaching is always the person causing the conflict. To avoid doing this without good cause is disrespectful because talking about the conflict causer in a negative way to others may not be necessary.
Mediating Friend of Causing Person Friends to the causing person are likely to be able to influence the causer in a way that resolves the issue. So if there is even a low chance the friend will help resolve the conflict, they should be asked to do so before other people are approached. This only applies when this friend is sufficiently safe to approach.
Mediating Associate of Causing Person There is likely to be someone who is mutually trusted by both the causing person and the person or people being troubled by the causing person. This person might be willing to help
Arbitrating Person If there is an agreed mutual authority over the people of the conflict, then such a person can agree to decide on how the conflict should be resolved.
This is using the term "arbitrating person" to also mean a court of arbitration.
Arbitrating Court If there is an authority whether agreed or not over the people of the conflict, that person can be approached to decide on how the conflict must be resolved.
This is using the term arbitration as something that all courts do rather than just a "court of arbitration".
Court of Appeals The judgment of a court isn't always final. If a court has made a mistake in judgment for resolving a conflict, the decision is then expected to be able to be appealed to a court of higher authority. There may then be further even higher court(s) to appeal to if the initial court of appeal doesn't agree.
Creative Solutions / Deterrence Supporters If the highest available court still has come to a faulty conclusion, and one insists on proper justice, there are still options. One can defer to allies and supporters for creative solutions to achieve justice. This could be something simple such as nagging people causing trouble, or something complex such as setting someone up to learn a lesson. Schemes, ploys, pranks, alternative ideas, and so on can be considered.
Coercion or Civil Disobedience Allies If creative solutions have not worked, then outright coercion of one's opponents into just behavior, or civil disobedience to rules, laws, or orders, can be contemplated. Typically some level of support may be needed for this to work and may not be effective if someone does this on their own.
War / Physical Force Allies If coercion and civil disobedience cannot work to resolve a conflict, then the final option for resolution is physical force of strength that overpowers all forms of resistance. This can almost never work without being stronger than one's opponent, which can be expected to involve having a support network.
Philosophic Cooperation: Cooperative Alignment: Civic Development:
Civic development is complex as it depends on many factors explained over many sections explained in further sections of this writing. Primary factors include methods and tactics of control (ref: :Philosophic Cooperation:Rainbow Civics:Civic Resolution), flow of control (ref:
:Philosophic Cooperation:Rainbow Civics:Organizational Control), and factors of governance (ref: :Civic Analysis) which in turn includes root authority, distribution of authority, liberties, resource constraint model, social constraint, and resource governance model.
Cooperative Republic Encouragement A Cooperative Republic strength is that it increases the ability for people who disagree on many virtues and values to align in cooperation. Because different people have different virtues and values, there is strong prospects for a Cooperative Republic form of government whereby everyone has equal right of authority, and selects any representative of their choice who engages in mandatory diplomatic negotiation for rules of law. Each person has full direct personal responsibility over them self, and a duty of goodwill and civility to voluntarily help others as a society as indirect personal responsibility over others as well. This concept enables diverse forms of governance across the world to match the diversity of different
Philosophic Cooperation: Civic and Civil Cooperation: Civil Economic Alliance People are encourage to build economy in ways that align with their morals and ethics.
People are encouraged to consider the virtues and values strengthened when choosing partners in economic development.
Civic Bond People who agree to behave according to a good set of shared virtues and values are encouraged to unite in strength as an intentional community. This agreement forms a civic bond. Agreement forms unity, and unity leads to compounding strength.
Contract See the Contract subsection for details regarding contracts in general.
Contract
A contract is an agreement among people.
The strongest possible contract is:
Formalized and signed in writing.
With a delegation of support including mediation and arbitration.
With civic enforcement of any breach.
Has participants with equal negotiating power.
With participants having influence over terms and conditions.
With ways to end the contract promptly and harmoniously.
With all terms and conditions have been carefully considered.
With is maximum possible unity including shared philosophy. In the strongest possible unity, there is maximum possible strength of numbers.
Contract Constraints are derived from natural freedoms.
People may voluntarily sacrifice freedoms and rights in exchange for the benefits of the dispute resolution process and voluntary societal cooperation to reduce conflict and contract violations. Such sacrifice of rights should only be done with the highest standard of care and consideration. Natural rights sacrificed under contract are always recoverable by decree regardless of any statement to the contrary. Contract participants may reclaim any sacrificed rights or freedoms sacrificed as part of the contract by decree, but resulting unleveraged property rights as the contract defined upon the reclaiming are irreversible.
Social Contract is an agreement among people about the delegation and distribution of authority including physical force. Civic rights are absolute demands of force of every moral individual to every other individual. Civic rights are not negotiations or agreements. However, protection of a right can be delegated with a contract. Sacrifices of a freedom can be made using a contract that can be canceled at any time such as by simple decree.
Liberation of Intentional Communities You people do you in your space, but our people expect to do us in our space.
And so to each person their space. Rather than concern of specific social contract to a specific set of rules, laws, definitions of harm, and specific circumstances when violence is warranted, concern is for people to share life with other like-minded people who have similar specific rules, laws, and definitions of harm in complete contrast to more common ways of life without being attacked by larger groups of people seeking to force their way of life on smaller communities. A broad set of freedoms and rights is suggested for leaders proposing a state of civilization.
It is encouraged to generously provide space to others to test unique and opposing systems of freedoms and rights within a domain that gives them the authority to do exactly that as an intentional community with other like-minded people who agree with such a set of rules. Earth is a big enough planet for many systems including capitalism, communism, fascism, and socialism to co-exist in peace toward each other. We consider it inconsiderate behavior to live in the most communist places in the world and convert the area to capitalism rather than moving to a capitalist place. Likewise, please don't live in the most capitalist places in the world and convert your area to socialism, but instead move to a less capitalist place in respect of local diversity.
Civil Trade Contract As a consequence of the natural right to property ownership, people may trade their property or services. Trades of property are accomplished by forming a contract. The more important a contract, the more it is expected to be formalized by a signed written agreement. A verbal agreement is considered weaker, and an implied agreement is considered weakest. The strength of the agreement also depends on the negotiating power of each party. So, contracts authored equally by both parties are considered strongest. People in any trade are encouraged to decide who the mediator and the arbitrator will be for their contract. The strongest possible contract is one with agreed upon mediation or escrow service and arbitration as described nearby.
Civil Market Contract is a standard treatment of implied contracts which may be agreed to by people exchanging value. This most applies to situations where there is no formal contract in circumstances of value exchanges. When making a firm offer to an unspecific person as an open offer, this also forms a market contract. Civil Market Contract participants also agree to be subject to fairness and reasonableness adjustments with weak contracts including vague, changeable, re-negotiable, or
"boilerplate" contracts. So, mass market "boilerplate"
contracts terms or conditions may be unenforced beyond what contract arbitrators consider to be fair and/or reasonable.
A weak formal agreement may be expected to be supported correspondingly weakly for a weak contract by the involved participants such as mediators and arbitrators. In a contract, if all negotiating power is one sided in a "take it or leave it" offer, then minimum agreement is assumed and the contract is considered weak. This is especially true for items having a low fixed price as a percentage of someone's purchases. Common expectations of what people believe are "reasonable" or "fair" may become the effective contract with written parts either partially or entirely ignored as unsupported for dishonorable contract provisions by arbitrators and mediators. A contract weakness would include a missing timeline for completion of a service.
These market expectations are then effective as a contract instead of a written contract. Contracts where terms are individualized where both parties have contract editing powers are an indicator of a sufficiently strong contract.
Civil Mediation. A civil mediator is a person who is trusted to know what is fair and reasonable for a trade.
This person advises all people bound by a contract what to do when something bad happens with the trade. Civil trade and contract offers are only expected to occur with an agreed upon mediator and arbitrator. Any contract without such agreed terms is expected to be considered a Civil
Market Contract rather than a Civil Trade Contract Civil Arbitration When contract participants have a dispute they may delegate a mutually trusted judge or judges to determine property ownership that results from a civil contract. An arbitration can determine how to resolve a contract violation. This information may be used by arbitration enforcers to force the resulting property ownership, who may delegate civil enforcers to transfer the property as agreed.
Civil Enforcer Arbitration enforcers and other civil enforcers are given permission by people in a trade to take and transfer their property and may also be given permission to enter their land and buildings, to force a trade to be done according to the terms and conditions as agreed by the contract participants. Arbitrators are expected to refrain from violence against people except to defend them self in enforcement of a contract. However, they are expected to use physical force on properties which may include damaging force when considered beneficial by the arbitrator. All arbitrators may reduce their taking of property where it will avoid a likely death, as doing otherwise is beyond arbitration. Instead, additional people processes are expected to be involved in dangerous circumstances. Contracts involving intentional death are beyond the realm of civility. Such contracts would be considered neither civil nor civic.
Dispute Resolution Organization (DRO). An organization that organizes and formalizes disputes and their settlements. A Dispute Resolution Organization (DRO) is expected to have arbitrators and/or mediators on staff who act on behalf of the organization. All major agreements under Rainbow Civics where all people involved are of the same tribe are expected to be resolved firstly by mediation and secondly by arbitration. A Dispute Resolution Organization (DRO) may also offer escrow services.
Civil Escrow A trade service where people hold payment or items until the terms and conditions for the trade are considered met. The payment and items are encouraged to be released to one of the people of the trade within an expected timeframe. Escrow is encouraged with contracts involving more than two days worth of wages including for rental and leasing security deposits, auctions above that amount, used items, controversial offerings, uncommon offerings, and unfamiliar offerings.
Defensive Force Using violence to end harm or end anticipated harm to one's self or others is an encouraged civic action.
Provoking Offensive Force is recommended to be stopped by civic action. Using violence as a means of self-enrichment at the expense of others is provoking offensive force of aggression. Initiating violence against someone who is not an immediate danger is a provoking offensive force.
Inaction or retreat are never provoking offensive force. In these circumstances, violence is used without any harm existing or without harm being directly threatened.
Provoking offensive force is also used by some when a punishment, revenge, or vengeance is unwarranted but happens anyway. The Carbon Rule "live and let live" is a principle against provoking offensive force, and the Golden Rule of "Treat Others as You would Have them Treat You" is generally also a principle against using provoking offensive force.
Civic Force People are encouraged to minimize violence to maximize peace and harmony. So, physical force is expected
only to stop harm. Furthermore, harm is only expected to be stopped in this way with a consensus that the harm is substantial. Even when no voluntary bond exists, people might live with others who don't cooperate and are anti-social. So, people may use force to stop others from violence according to the non-aggression principle. The Carbon Rule "live and let live" is a principle opposed to provoking offensive force, and the Golden Rule of "Treat Others as You would Have them Treat You" is generally also a principle against using provoking offensive force. So, we encourage stopping provoking offensive force using civic force.
Civic Enforcer Those who force people to remain safe from others are civic enforcers. A civic enforcer uses force in less circumstances than others because they are expected to use force regularly, and so use it more cautiously. A civic enforcer would not participate in punishment, revenge, or vengeance. They would participate in isolating and constraining a dangerous person. Civic Enforcers have an expectation to use the minimum force required to keep others safe. Civic enforcers are expected to risk their life in the process of controlling other lives. Risks to those creating safety should be carefully compared to the risk of those breaking safety. Civic enforcers are different than military enforcers as they do not operate with intention of lethal force. Actions involving lethal force are considered neither civil nor civic.
Definition of Harm The definition of harm defines the boundary between defensive force and offensive force. Where there is a difference in perspective of the definition, there is a conflict. Sufficiently different definitions are expected to result in multiple governments who separate to different locations in different tribes.
Damage Resolution Governing systems such as a civil court system may be in place so that people may right wrongs with a formal system in place so that people can have a consistent way of having justice.
Military People who force organizations to remain safe, by defending people upon an external request for defense, are the militia. Militias stop their opponents using any force that feels right including a force that kills an aggressor. Roles of military and civic enforcement are expected and encouraged to be separate.
Philosophic Cooperation: Civil Economic Participation: Participation Incentive Guidelines. Economic systems are generally limited in strength to the strength of their incentive structure. As a means of wealth creation in our communities, we consider to offer an economic system of compensation, rewards, and awards that minimizes corruption potential and maximizes good behavior. Economic civic participation includes activity such as allocation of investment resources, purchasing decisions, selling decisions, and any other economic exchange. A factor in success is the trustworthiness of participants. For less trust requirements, we develop checks and assurances of performance that enable transfer resources to others that reduce the trust needed. Respect and protection of property rights is important to economic participation. Monetary structure is also important to economic participation. We consider how much trust to place in others and whether it has been earned and proven. It is easier to measure success in ways that are wrong than right, so we consider whether incentives for behavior are measuring success properly. The
best timeline for transferring value in exchange for economic performance is a challenge to determine. Strong economic incentives may be done in a way that are cost efficient because they shift behavior in the most beneficial way with the least amount of resources. The goal of incentive structuring is to create a system where people who dishonor their economic commitments are expected to find increasing hardships, while people who prove their character over time with honor are expected to access increasing wealth.
Virtue Incentive. We encourage trading with people who favor strong virtues and values such as the Rainbow Rock philosophy. We encourage networking with and supporting businesses and value creators that align with our virtues and values. By selecting partners, associates, and connections that build such virtues and values, these shared values multiply together. This virtue incentive is considered a powerful incentive method to promote the Rainbow Rock philosophy. This is considered civil shopping.
Commercial Civility We encourage trading with people who operate with civility. Such behaviors include contracting based solely on qualifications that match the specific skills of their job. Generally this means avoiding contracting based on appearances and associations.
Penalties for personal expression, beliefs, and associations are discouraged. Surface layer garments, decoration, or other identifying clothing which substantially covers a body may be expected and required by a voluntary contract for commerce while maintaining civility. However, any more invasive requirements on that topic may be considered uncivil, such as asking a business manager (a position where appearance isn't critical to the success of the job) to mask their natural appearance with makeup. A level of politeness or courtesy of expression is encouraged and could be likewise required for commerce with civility. A level of restraint from language deemed offensive by a supermajority by local customs may also be likewise required for commerce with civility. Any additional expressional requirements may be considered uncivil.
Offerings. An offering is a product or service available in a marketplace for trade. People are encouraged to advertise services they can do to help others. Such encouragement could be offering requests or a profit incentive advertisement. People are furthermore encouraged to teach and mentor others about how they can also create such value. Such encouragement may be by requests to admired people that may include a profit incentive.
Offering Review Incentive. People are encouraged to agree before a trade whether to review an offering experience.
Otherwise, only those especially happy or unhappy end up being the only people to review, and so the review system causes an incomplete assessment. People with offers should have an incentive ready that provides a better offer for people electing to review the offering. All offers representing a major purchase decision are especially important for review. Reviews are an act of generosity to others.
Certification Development Incentive. People are encouraged to develop organizations that honor good business behaviors who market offerings to match such good behavior and offerings, as a certification. People are also expected to independently verify whether such certifications are trustworthy when practical to do so,
and, if so, support the offerings of businesses that support the certifications of their choice. So, certifications are a formal method of more quickly and accurately establishing trust. Certification organizations are encouraged to continuously maximize transparency about their money flows. A certification is a way of showing that a market offering is trusted to meet standards by other trusted people. Trusted people may incentivize businesses to behave well by offering to make public statements about the quality of the business offering. These statements may be in the form of a seal, icon, or other offering logo. The certifier may receive money in exchange for the public statement, but in doing so there is also incentive to trust someone without the trust being earned. So, the certifier may show their process of quality assurance and provide evidence of quality checking upon request as an information service.
Implied Policy Incentives. Buyers effectively set policies by purchasing offers from businesses that have policies even when those policies are not stated and proven. If for example a business has never given reason to believe it notices whether slave labor created a product they purchase, they have a partially implied policy that slave labor is acceptable, because in willful ignorance they tempt their businesses or their competitors with incentives to operate immorally. What matters is what behaviors buyers specifically put effort into ensuring, and everything else is implied to be permissible by the buyer.
Selective ignorance is a powerful choice of moral consequence. Buyers individually set policies with each of their purchase decisions. Simply by shopping, buyers are the root rule setters for businesses. People are encouraged to notice virtues and values claimed and enacted by trading partners.
Civil Awards Incentive. An economic civil award gives value to businesses who behave well. Positive reinforcement is applied for good civic behavior. Businesses may be encouraged to advertise their behavior standards in this way. Awards may have a context of competition and may furthermore be given rarely for difficult achievement. An award may have the context of an ongoing challenge. For ethical and moral communities who want wealth expansion, we may offer awards that expand wealth while maintaining moral and ethical standards. Awards are expected to be given without the recipient necessarily expecting it.
Civil Rewards Incentive. Economic civic reward is to offer positive reinforcement for good civic behavior. The recipient gets the positive value conditionally by specifically encouraged behavior. The offer may be earned outside of the context of a competition and may be something that everyone can achieve and also expect to have an opportunity to get. As with awards, rewards enable well behaved people to become healthy and wealthy while adhering to moral and ethical civic standards. An example of a civil reward would be to shop at a store which has taken extra steps to be environmentally friendly such as giving re-usable bags to regular customers.
Pull vs Push Incentive. Both push and pull incentives in balance better achieve health and wealth. A customer advertising their demand (request) for an offering is a pull incentive, while a seller advertising supply of an offering is a push incentive. When a community is focused excessively on either push or pull incentives, consider developing the less supported incentive option. Pull
incentives include options such as purchase agencies, trade unions, buyers cooperatives. Push incentives include options such as advertising, marketing, and salesmanship.
Civil Commercial Partnership. It is socially beneficial to profit with economic offerings. Networking with others multiplies success in business. People are encouraged to enable maximally simple ways to network with like minded people who appreciate each others businesses.
Market Leverage Diffusion Centralization of power of economic offering is a feature of monopolies and oligarchies. Offering providers for a specific offering often become dominant in a marketplace for multiple reasons including the 'network effect'. The network effect is the ability for large organizations to more easily dominate their market in markets where participants generally want the other people they associate with to also be involved such as a social media network such as "Facebook".
Monopolies and oligarchies form in other ways as well not explained here. Formation of monopolies and oligopolies create security risks through supply-demand imbalance potential introduced by a single point of failure. When there is a supply-demand imbalance, prices are unstable and unbalanced. Also, if the service fails or behaves maliciously, there is no readily available alternative for a monopoly and few alternatives available for oligopolies.
Another security risk for a single point of failure is malicious gathering of information regarding all people connected to the monopolized offering provider. For example, if everyone in the world used a single bank, and the bank's password database was stolen, everyone in the world would be suddenly unable to bank securely. While the risk pairs with an opportunity of reward of economic efficiencies, the broad system is for essential services an unwarranted risk in some circumstances such as banking. It would be safer if no single bank was above a set threshold as a market share limit. So, monopolies on critical systems are discouraged by leverage diffusion methods such as civil shopping practices, consumer union activism, campaigning for alternatives, and support and development of alternative offerings. Market leverage diffusion is expected to reduce barriers to market entry for new organizations for more choices and more security in offering availability and price stability.
PHILOSOPHIC COOPERATION: RAINBOW CIVICS: Summary Rainbow Civics is an overview of civic challenges and associated organization resolution biased to the Rainbow Rock philosophy. This civics development platform contemplates a range of civics that might be held by people with a variety of contrasting virtues and values. Rainbow Civics offers factors to maximize harmony with inclusive and voluntary economic and social participation. Rainbow Civics builds on ideas for intentional communities unifying with shared virtues and values. Rainbow Civics suggests factors of governance and provides a set of important considerations in the process of governance. Civic means associated with the use of force for the intention of civilization. Civil means associated with civilization.

Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Civic Property Challenges:
Summary Property conflicts are easy to occur and difficult to resolve, so people have a civic duty to maximize civility when resolving such conflicts.
Disagreements which are easy to occur include traveler or migrant pollution, ownership claims, sharing common areas, property boundary locations and authority, property abandonment, and nature preservation. Challenges of property include capital allocation, land distribution, and collective property transferal.
Traveler Pollution People traveling through or around land are expected to comply with a minimum standard of the land owner for pollution including light pollution, noise pollution, particulate pollution, or other pollution that is applied equally to all travelers.
Objective Property Right The idea that a person is able to have a stronger bond to a place or thing relative to other people. Generally considered a wanted beneficial system except under idealized communism and socialism.
Subjugative Property Right The idea that a person is able to have stronger control over another person than even that person has over them self. Generally considered illegal except in the context of voluntary hourly wages or annual contracted salary.
Capital to Character For maximization of wealth and elimination of poverty, allocate the strongest property awards to people who are most able to produce the highest rates of return on investment with the given capital.
Land Ownership People are encouraged to honor the assignment of land to people based on inheritance, culture, species, and other factors.
Living Nature Preservation Challenge Additional life forms may offer a desired diversity of life, and certain life forms might otherwise go extinct without a preservation effort. We may give some honor to others who use land by giving another life form usage of land by preventing interference by a competing life form that would damage its environment or directly kill it. It is our challenge to decide the amount of honor that is best given.
Abandonment Challenge We give some honor to property ownership where the property is not being used. However, it is our challenge to decide the amount of honor that is best given before considering the property abandoned.
Transferable Collective Shares People in this system are able to be part of a collective that not all people are necessarily part of, and furthermore able to transfer participation in that collective to another person.
Participation methods include token basis, honor based, popularity based, family basis, and others. An example of such a system is a theater ticket where any ticket holder gains an ability to enter the theater. The ticket represents an entitlement which can be transferred.
Land Rights Factors of honor of land ownership include energy invested including by maintenance and development, homestead claims, local customs, usage, honor of agreements of the claimants, inheritance agreements connect to the land, protection covenants for the land. All of these
factors contribute to honor of land rights by others. With sufficient honor, the land right is respected. With dishonor, the land right is invalid. Like any property, land may be abandoned if left unused as open wild terrain.
Terrain being developed are expected to be first surrounded by construction stakes at yelling distance apart. These stakes are honored or dishonored according to local customs.
Communal Civic Space means open and wild terrain (roughly yelling distance away from any designed structures), public or collective fluidly owned outdoors land and paths, and paths of travel among places of different owners. Communal civic space is places away from dangerous places including military equipment stations, military fortifications, and areas accepted to be used for hazardous purposes. In such space, rights and freedoms any attempt to sacrifice a right or freedom is ignored, as such sacrifice by contract or land owner's rules is not honorable.
Inheritance Factors in honor of inheritance include the legitimacy of the claim, relationship strength of the claimants, stated virtues and values of the distributing person as they match claimants behaviors, and culture membership of the distributing person. Inheritance is expected to be handled systematically by people involved, especially family, with wills, and with the help of a will mediator. People are encouraged to have written wills.
Otherwise, it should be handled as any ownership dispute.
Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Civic Resolution: Organization Control Methods
Example Setting Example setting is expected to be the most common method of organization control.
Consensus Building Consensus building methods like campaigning, public speaking, and voting are options for people to consider.
Forced Behavior Force to control others is expected to be used with great reservation and care as ethics and morals demand.
Reinforced Behavior Rewards and/or punishments are used to encourage behavior the organization expects to be beneficial.
See Rainbow Cooperation (Rainco) for additional decision-making structures.
Tactics
Civic Threat Communications of what behaviors will result in defensive force being used is a challenge. Too many rules or not enough rules being relayed to others is a challenge. Ignorance of standards is a problem that can be caused by either too little communication. Too much communication which could be interpreted as being hostile or simply excessive nagging and so ignored. Too little communication causes passive responsibility to the quiet person. So, civic threats should be used in moderation for a harmonious civilization.
Civic Compensation Driving while intoxicated is an example of a civic hazard. Civic hazards are expected to be resolved by compensation to victims who are harmed such as by being physically struck by an intoxicated driver. This is different than for example, police tickets paid to people other than the actual victims of actual harm. Instead, as it is now, police tickets speculate about theoretical harm done to abstract people who may or may not actually exist. Every life activity introduces the chance that an action will
unintentionally harm another. These types of hazards are resolved in a civil society by mutually agreed upon delegation of authority. Investigation is expected to focus on statistical probabilities while resolution may involve posting a bond for the direct benefit of any actual victims.
Civic Force A force used with the expectation that unwanted behavior will be corrected. Probable damage may be expected to be resolved using forceful means. The optimum force to be used is a challenge and so it is a civic duty to use careful judgment in resolution of civic force.
Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Civic Harmony Challenges:
Tribal Stripe People who agree on circumstances when physical force should be used, and also share a definition of wrongful harm, are expected to unify to find strength in numbers. When enough people are in close enough proximity, this tribe is mappable with boundaries, and within these boundaries may be considered a tribal stripe. These people are not necessarily formalized as a government organization, but they may do so. When formalized, land owners may withdraw their properties from such as stripe agreements at any time, as they see fitting, despite any previous agreement to the contrary.
Civic Caretaking Challenges Most civic force is difficult to resolve. People have a civic duty to establish clear contracts including mediation and arbitration to handle such conflict. Joint child caretaking almost always involves substantial conflicts, and is a challenge to handle gracefully. Caretaking of dangerous people is also a challenge.
Severity of Response When harm of others occurs, it is a challenge to decide what stopping force should be used to stop the harm from happening. An option that is often wrong is ignoring the conflict by doing nothing. More successful options include but are not limited to polite requests, the minimum possible force required to stop the threat, the same force as the opponent, a higher force than the opponent, and the maximum force available to terminate the threat.
Definition of Harm The definition of harm defines the boundary between defensive force and offensive force. Where there is a difference in perspective of the definition, there is a conflict. Sufficiently different definitions are expected and sometimes encouraged to result in multiple governments who separate to different locations.
Determination of Intentions. When someone intends to initate (physical) harm against another person, they may be stopped by force. Determination of intention is a challenge. Actions are evidence of intention. Words are evidence of intentions. While people have the freedom of speech to say what they wish with only natural consequences, their words could provide evidence of the intention to be violent and so indirectly lead to force being used against them. A suggestion that violence be used against someone should generally be taken at face value as a threat.
Civil Disobedience When a false authority command is given, it is the duty of people to reject the command. When an immoral action is requested or demanded, it is the duty of others to reject the action or request. If one's life will be destroyed or permanently damaged by by
disobedience, then at least find a way to compensate damages using the resources of the false authority.
Privacy and Record Our freedom of expression allows us to record any and all activity at any and all times. Our right to remain anonymous as a freedom of expression allows us to disguise our selves any way we wish at any and all times at communal places. We expect broad recording and documentation of investigations for fair investigations that are then released by the consent of the people being investigated. We expect minimum recording of activity in right of ways. We discourage recordings of public right of way areas unless a crime is committed in that place and near that time. Governing and security people are expected to record activities in communal places only according to a consistent process of sharing minimum such information only when a crime has been committed for a limited period of time. It is unethical to share recordings of a crime without the consent of the victims.
Transparency of Accounting Transparency of accounting is important for civil public organizations. Such organizations are expected to keep minimum secrets that would otherwise tempt malicious people such as bank vault access activities. Organizations that comply with transparency expectations are encouraged to be supported over those that don't. However, forcing transparency shall be defended against as a freedom of expression. Civil public organizations are expected to account for all expenses and inventory all assets in excess of an amount determined by people of the locations the organization derives and allocates its resources, proportionally to those economic impacts. At the current time, corporations have a veil of secrecy used to leverage existing wealth.
So, major stakeholders are given better access to information than small corporation stakeholders. Civic charter organizations may be forcibly monitored to achieve such transparency as they irrevocably dedicate property they are the owner of to people having full access to organization property at all times, as a mutually agreed condition of their creation.
Transparency of Management Transparency of management is important for civil public organizations. They are expected to keep minimum secrets that would otherwise tempt malicious people such as security patrol activities. The public expects maximal and equal access to records of public organizations such that labor is generally done in public view, though not necessarily recorded to every detail. In exchange, the public is expected to support organizations more than otherwise to compensate for the competitive disadvantage of secrecy avoidance. Some activity can be more profitably accomplished in secret, such as secret recipes for food. Chefs that create recipes in public on behalf of a collective are expected to find their self and their collective rewarded with higher prices and salary to the chef than competitors who simply copied the recipe. Such reward activity is expected to expand civilization as people share valuable secrets with each other more openly. So if for example Pepsi-Cola were to reform as a Rainbow Cooperative for-profit collective under a respectable governance model, and further reform to a civic charter organization, its recipes would become known by competitors, but people of civic duty would honor the company over more uncivilized alternatives such as Coca-Cola which refuses civilization in this example.
Furthermore, people copying the freely available recipe
such as competitor Cola-Cola would need to offer much more than the same item at the same price, or alternatively give substantial voluntary loyalty payments to earn our business.
Reckless Behavior People causing environmental health problems or recklessly endangering the health of others are expected to compensate specific victims as they provide likely evidence of the damage, or unspecific victims as proven with a statistical probability of damages. Such damages are to be paid to a mutually agreed upon organization of restitution which keeps the money for victims with public transparency of accounting.
Restraining Self Harm Self-harm is often judged immoral but less often judged unethical. Because it is considered part of emancipation that one is proven capable of caring for them self, some challenge other's freedom to intentionally harm their self such as by suicide.
Liberation When one is enslaved to a master against their will, the enslavement is expected to be dishonored.
Furthermore, physical force may be used to aid the slave so they may live as a free person in another place upon their request. All labor contracts are cancelable at any and all times with negative consequences being forcefully limited to natural consequences only.
Military Alliance The more military alliance partners one has, the more wars they will be involved in, but the more secure they might be. Some consider wars to potentially make one less secure rather than more, so encourage wars to be considered individually rather than by guaranteed alliance.
Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Civic Division Motion and Actions:
Peace in Separation Dangerous people who do harm to others may be separated. Those who refuse to separate may be forced to behave such as by being imprisoned. It may be preferable to avoid violence by moving away from dangerous people who band together.
Travel Rights The natural right to travel means that people and the property they carry are expected to be able to travel around people's land in peace, without being subjected to additional rules or interference of the land owner. Generally this is expected to be allowed to occur on all boundaries of the land, but owners of large areas are encouraged to provide additional or alternative options by having two or more paths going through the land to connect at least four directional sides. Owners of small areas all within yelling distance might only have one path available.
Where there is a public way, people have equal opportunity to travel on such public ways. For example, everyone is expected to be charged the same price who uses the road in a similar way. Furthermore, everyone who pays the way is expected allowed unless proven a danger to others with damages evident, or otherwise proven probable such as in a mutually accepted formal setting. We cannot exist in harmony with those who interfere with travel rights.
However, dangerous behavior of a person always may reduce their rights in proportion to their level of danger.
Rule Your Land Land owners may create rules they expect visitors to follow which disrespect or ignore the protection of others as agreed for the visit. They may also be as unfair to visitors as they would like, to the degree this unfairness does not cause direct harm. Failure to help, or a failure to be fair, is not the same as harming.
Land owners may furthermore delegate their control of these
rules and unfairness beyond the ordinary definition of harm to others such that those agreeing to the rules do not consider them self harmed even though others would not agree to such a definition, and so others consider the perceived harm acceptable. This allows for such things as consensual fights when the property owner allows it.
However, this consent to additional rules and unfairness is always voluntary and may be reversed by leaving the property. If you don't like it, leave. People who do not wish to follow the additional controls or be treated unfairly on the land are expected to either respect the added control or leave the property, upon their wish or a demand of the owner.
Separation by Principles Certain definitions of harm conflict with others and create environments where people cannot peacefully coexist because one person claims harm while the other continues there activity claiming no harm takes place. These people may separate into two or more distinctive groups. These groups are encouraged to publicize their activity and associated well being so others can determine whether certain controversial activity is helpful or harmful. These groups may consider furthermore to establish location boundaries that define where there activities are welcome. People who adapt specific philosophies and furthermore establish boundaries for their culture may move together as intentional communities. These stripes of separation are the rainbow in Rainbow Civics that we hope to eliminate collective aggressive violence.
Local Customs Some moral and ethical issues are much more culture-dependent or otherwise controversial. The more controversy involved in an issue, the more it is expected to be resolved more locally. It then becomes the duty of people to avoid places that are hostile to their concept of morals and ethics. However, it is equally the duty of the locality to advertise any unexpected handling of moral and ethical issues and so any ignorance for such local laws is only respected to the degree it is advertised to others.
Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Social Entitlement Contract:
Social Needs include food, clothing, shelter, education, and health care. People may become entitled to all of these resources as explicitly agreed in a social contract. This can be done as collective ensurance access to all social needs.
Insurance vs. Ensurance Unlike insurance, entitlement is an ensurance that society will operate healthy as a whole.
In some cases people may receive benefits even if they have not specifically earned them for the good of society.
Entitlement Agreement People agree to contribute portions of their income or expenses to social entitlement programs.
In exchange, them self and their children will be entitled to social needs, especially in situations or circumstances where they might otherwise be unaffordable.
Morality of Entitlement Principles of property rights in combination with personal consent of 'my body, my choice'
and 'no means no', make it not just unethical but immoral to take other's property without an explicit agreement regardless of how benevolent a property taker claim to be.
Society is expected to transition from the immoral position of civic entitlement to a moral position of a civil entitlement contract.
Challenge to Voluntary Nature The challenge is that
people will give others their resources in hopes that they will voluntarily agree to give back resources upon becoming an adult. However, simple positive social pressure will encourage most people to do so, and the pressure will succeed when the contract is considered a good social contract. Generally upon failure, it should be presumed that the social contract simply is not good enough, and people should not be shunned for disagreement with the contract.
Positive Social Pressure People will be given public acknowledgment for participation in a social entitlement contract when they give as much or more than they take.
However, if they are shamed for doing otherwise this would not be positive social pressure and could be discouraged.
Negative Social Pressure People could be given shame or avoided in some way for taking more than they give.
However, this is considered a discouraged social behavior because of its capability to amount to a monopolistic effect and ability to give unfair outcast labeling to simply who may disagree to the social contract for good reasons. The more someone is wealthy but unhelpful to others, the more negative social pressure is an acceptable option.
Philosophic Cooperation: Rainbow Civics: Organizational Control:
Platinum Rule A collective action is moral only as the same action by one person acting alone is moral. A majority may only be delegated authority that is already possessed by individuals. A majority may not commit wrongs against a minority. However, a majority can agree to voluntarily cooperate by voting.
Control Root
Authority Authority is control over others. Authority means faith, trust, or obedience to another person regarding one or more topics (especially trust domains).
A communicator provides information to a listener, who behaves according to the information provided. The information provider is the leader and master while the listener is the follower.
Positive Reinforcement Control can be gained by helping those who behave in preferred ways or obey commands. This system of positive reinforcement is considered a love-based system. Positive authority may be obtained by rightfully obtained by delegating rights, responsibilities, and resources to honored people as representatives, caretakers, and trustees.
Negative Reinforcement Control can be gained by hurting those who behave in unwanted, disobedient, or violent ways. This system of negative reinforcement is considered a fear-based system. Negative authority is obtained by harming people who behave in such ways but avoiding such harm to people who avoid such behavior.
Negative authority is rightfully exercised by physical force to the degree it stops attacks by initiators of physical violence and stops impending initiation of violence.
Civilized Control The ratio of positive to negative reinforcement for a group of people determines the level of civilization for that group. The higher the ratio as more positive reinforcement is used compared to negative reinforcement, the more civilized the group.
Fluid Collective is a collective in which organizational control transfers without an internally restrictive process
from one person to another, such as by stock ownership.
This fluidity is what make the organization a type of
"public organization" or "publicly owned organization".
This contrasts with a private organization which membership is exclusive and transferred only with approval. The natural state of organization is fluidity because organizations can outlast the creators interests or lives.

Actual vs. Agreed Powers
Agreement is limited to the strength of communications of the people in agreement. Agreement is a matter of perspective. The more a perspective is shared, the stronger the collective powers. Those who can spend organization resources, have actual powers.
Those who can use physical force to access corporate resources have actual powers relative to how easy the force is to use. So, physical force may determine actual powers.

Resource Governance Models
Health Metrics
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Root Authority: Authority is governance and influence as power that one has over another.
Civic Authority is a right or privilege of force that one has over another in government of society.
Authority vs. Trust Rightful authority may be demanded, which many consider to be demanding respect of personal liberty as freedoms and rights with others. But, trust must be earned, not demanded. Both authority and trust may be delegated to others.
Authority of Popularity Those deemed to be the most liked, charming, and sociable are deemed most authoritative.
Authority of Principle (Source: Rainbow Civics:Civic Responsibility and Authority:Root Authority of Liberty and Law)
A set of preferred principles are identified as authority, with people only having authority in terms of how closely they align them selves with those principles. People having maximum alignment would be considered to have equal authority. Principles may include concepts such as virtues, values, morals, ethics, and logic. (end source) Authority of Strength Those deemed as having the most strength relative to others are deemed as the most authoritative. People of equal strength would be considered to have equal authority. In this context, strength refers to energy flow strength such as economic strength and physical strength.
Authority of Divine Connection Those deemed as having the strongest connection to God or a supreme being residing in another dimension are deemed as the most authoritative.
Authority of Merit Those deemed to be the most skilled in a domain of talent, most intelligent, or most successful at a variety of metrics such as organization management or family values, are deemed most authoritative.
Root Authority Overlap Root authorities are may overlap, such as economic strength being considered a merit for authority. Root authority could be considered additive so that root authority can be two or more types of authority
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Civic Honor of Authority: Voluntarism - Tyranny Dichotomy A purely voluntarist population never cedes to any threat of violence in favor of restriction of behaviors to perception of what is morally or ethically right. A purely tyrannical population always obeys all commands under threat by more powerful people in determining the rules for the less powerful. A voluntarist population follows a codes of law, conduct, and behavior as each believes to be the most authoritative law (currently most often considered to be natural law), while a rule of might population obeys specific people as believed to be the most powerful. A tyrannical population considers raw power to be the beginning of authority as a root.
Majority Rule Majority root is to claim majority or specific supermajority of a population by virtue of "wisdom of the crowd" to establish what liberties and laws are valid upon their will upon a vote of some sort, sometimes in exchange for guarantees of security. This theoretic system is not implemented because as it currently stands abstaining broadly speaking is approximately effective as one vote of yes and one vote of no to each voting item.
However, this effect may contradict of the non-voters wishes. Abstaining is not directly support for any delegation of power or use of force to accomplish an objective, though this is typically the result in current voting systems. For example, if 65% of emancipated Italians participated in voting, a 2/3rds supermajority (as might be expected to determine protection of basic rights) for Italy would be unobtainable, because a supermajority of the population does not vote. A simple majority of 1/2 plus one would be challenging because more than 3/4ths of the voters would need to vote yes for any given proposal to achieve a majority of the population. So in practice, systems by which voting is claimed to be a systemic root, a minority group of most voters holds the dominant power.
Strongest Minority Rule The population group ready, willing, able, and acting to assert physical force for issues of liberty and law is naturally expected to assert power over a population. This describes typical modern governments because voting rarely achieves a majority of emancipated people for any given vote.
Ruling Class and Natural Root A natural root of authority does not imply a civilized or justified authority. The strongest minority are the common natural root of authority, and this often results in an internal process based on rule of might by individuals within the group that provides for a subset of people establishing the ruling class of a population.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Distribution of Authority: Checked - Unchecked Dichotomy A method of ethical assurance is to require exercise of power to be balanced with multiple people or classes of people, such as to avoid the use of force without support of multiple people in agreement. A pure monarchy and total anarchy have no such checks, while other forms of government do have checks.
Democracy - Oligarchy Dichotomy The political authority distribution of a population from the highest number of people possible as a Democracy to one single person as a monarch. The expected effect of democracy is more moderation of rule and wider distribution of resources,
while the expected effect of monarchy is unitary rule and concentration of resources. Populations where less than half of people consider them selves to be a part of the government are considerable as oligarchy, while more than half the population considering them selves to be a part of the government may so be considered a Democracy.
Local - Global Dichotomy The proximity of authority as the range of borders.
Cooperative Republic Distribution Voluntary delegation of voluntary root powers to a personal advocate. This is considered the only civilized foundation of authority by those claiming purely voluntarist root authority. People could achieve unexpected consolidated forms by this including Monarchy or Divine Rule in practice by delegating authority to such a system, but enabling one to withdraw their support at any time without legal consequence to another competing Cooperative Republic.
Divine Rule Distribution of authority from an intelligent being in another dimension to one or more people in this dimension.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Consolidation of Authority: Authoritative Source Potentials
Virtue Virtues such as love, trust, intelligence, courage, character, and honesty.
Divinity The divine realm such as God, gods, spirit(s), or nature.
The People
Individuals People have a ground of equal authority which they delegate to others.
Collective People have higher authority together as a group.
Might The strength of physical force.
Value Values such as truth or a vault with gold.
Fiat Republic Forced delegation of authority to a local advocate who is designated to be a personal advocate. This is typically done by strongest vote, where the voting block with the highest numbers controls delegation of authority.
A Republic is currently mistaken for "majority rule", while voting systems are currently by a minority of each population.
Cooperative Republic Voluntary delegation to a personal advocate for the purpose of a specific social contract.
Household Delegation to a family advocate.
Tribe Delegation to a local advocate.
Judicial Consul Delegation of authority to a judge.
Federation An alliance which forms a cooperative governing body for specific aspects of governance such as commercial exchange between allied lands.
Hegemony Governing bodies forced to cooperate as a conglomeration of more local powers to participate in a larger body of government. This often used as a part of totalitarian consolidation.
Oligarchy Delegation to the strongest people including both those with military and economic power.
Scientocracy Delegating those who focus on advocating the scientific method as a social solutions with the most amount of power.
Technocracy Delegating those who focus on advocating technologies as a social solutions with the most amount of power.
Theocracy Delegating those who focus on advocating spiritual philosophies as a social solutions with the most amount of power.
Mercantilism Delegating those who focus on advocating commercial activity as social solutions with the most amount of power.
Fascist Consolidation Delegating those having the strongest economic power, while forcing business behavior by regulation. As such, this is also a model for economic resource constraint.
Lobbyist Delegation to private commercial corporate interests.
Mercantilism vs Fascism Mercantilism as with fascism is a delegation to those with strongest economic power, but without necessarily having business regulations. So, fascism is a type of mercantilism focused on business regulation.
Communist Consolidation Delegation to those offering to manage businesses by commandeering of industry and commerce, and its money flows. Furthermore, commercial profits may be limited and redirected by such delegates, including by corporate tax.
Fascist vs. Communist Under fascism, title to industrial and commercial property remains private, while under communism title to such property are taken without permission of the previous owner by a governing body. However, enough fascist regulations over those resources can be effectively the same with both systems.
The other aspect of fascism is the business owners directly controlling government which include by election. Additionally, profits may be considered good under fascism while considered bad or restricted under communism.
Military Dictatorship Delegation to the physically and militarily strongest people.
Despotism Delegating all power to one person as a ruler who claims and exercises maximum authority over a population.
Claim of Divine Right, Philosopher King Socialist Consolidation Delegation to those directly offering give away other people's personal wealth, without their permission, to designated classes of people. This combines with communism when businesses are the source of wealth.
Totalitarian Consolidation Delegation of control of most people's time, rules of common activities, and resources, to rulers by multiple consolidation methods.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Executive Authority: Fiat Authority by overpowering physical force. Leadership of dictatorships and despotic government is fiat authority.

Director
Leader of organizational personal relationships and associations, organizational formation including constitution.
Supreme Leadership Supreme leader of a despotic tyranny.
Czarist Leader of a communist organization.
Global Community Organizer Leader of a socialist organization.
Figurehead People formally delegated with the most authority are the figurehead of an organization representation for duties of decision-making, public speaking, and negotiations. They are also the actual head of an organization if they have the highest influence for such duties. A figurehead is typically provided with a title to mark them as the organization leader.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Executive Authority: Class Constraint Models:
Classed Society In a classed society, everyone has different privileges delegated from a ruling class to the ruled class. Those in the ruling class take resources of less powerful people at will and redistribute them as desired.
In fascism, monarchy, and despotism, people are divided into a ruling class and subject class. The ruling class has full control of the subject class.
In socialism, people are divided into at least have-less (higher authority) and have-more class (lower authority). Redistributors take resources from a have-more class and give them to the have-less class.
So, two or more classes exist according to their level of control over economic resources.
In a communist society, people are divided into at least a producer and consumer class, and furthermore classed according to their abilities, and their perceived need for economic resources.
Classless Society In a classless society, everyone has equal authority of force and law.
In anarchism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-capitalism, and voluntarism, there is no ruling class having exceptional abilities. The right to to imprison others or take others resources without permission, is no greater for any one person than any other person.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Liberties:
Social Liberties Social liberties are cultural expressions respecting natural rules of force. Social liberties allow freedom of belief, freedom of expression, freedom of choices, and freedom of assembly. These liberties are protected by the right to civic justice, right to defense, and right to caregiving.
Economic Liberties Economic liberties are personal private ownership over the creation, modification, and movement of resources, while respecting natural rules of force. Anything other than full control of one's resources is a level of constraint. Economies liberties allow Freedom of Labor and Freedom of Trade by respect of Right to Property and Self.
Sharing Liberties Sharing liberties are interactions with others used for travel, helping others, and exercise of equal authority. Sharing liberty allows freedom of travel with possessions and the protection of that freedom and others through the right of equal authority. Sharing liberties can be considered socioeconomic liberties. Such broad liberties are supported by people who support an unclassed society but may be opposed by people who support a classed society.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Liberty Constraint Models: Left Wing - Right Wing Dichotomy
Left wing means a preference for economic constraints in rejection of economic liberties.
Right wing means a preference for social constraints in rejection of social liberties.
Authoritarian - Libertarian Dichotomy Authoritarian means constraints in rejection of liberties.
Libertarian means asserting economic, social, and sharing liberties.
Libertarian Left/Right means voluntary sacrifice of economic (left) or social (right) liberties for an intentional community.
Liberal - Conservative Dichotomy
Dynamic Type
Conservatives want laws to remain the same with any recent changes to be undone.
Liberals want laws to change dramatically.
Static Type
Conservative is the "right wing" while liberal is the
"left wing" ideology in the left-right dichotomy. In addition, static conservatives may want to conserve the environment and the scope of their interaction with nature as a conservationist, which is a subset of a conservative position that can be independent to the left-right dichotomy.
Conservationism The desire to limit one's natural resource utilization in relation to all available natural resources. Conservationism consists of both forceful and voluntary constraints. The forceful constraints may be considered left wing economic constraints.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Resource Constraint Models: Redefinitions These terms are slight redefinitions that offer clarity and conciseness to otherwise vague terms.
This offers a simple way to classify resource governance as Capitalist, Fascist, Socialist, and/or Communist. These terms are now used in specific context of resource constraint.
Capitalism is defending individual and organizational
owners of economic resources, to continue ownership as full control of such resources. This system is contradictory to fascism, communism, and socialism. Rather than constraining businesses from participation in commercial activity, this system defends economic participants for continuance of their commercial activity. People who are not considered owners of the resource are constrained from control over that resource without consent of the owner. When a non-government body has an industrial monopoly where the industry is unregulated, this is considered a capitalist supply constraint. This is typically done using business contract leverage. Some capitalist constraint systems fragment or otherwise deleverage such monopolies, while others allow them. This is a different word usage than a common definition of the term, which is often used to mean fascism. Capitalism does not enable corporations as currently implemented, as that is a fascist economic system because the formation is a creation of a government body as a license or permit for enabling specific banking activity, and in a more minor way is socialist in that corporation money is differently redistributed in bankruptcy, than in bankruptcy for individuals. Dictionaries and encyclopedias are currently misleading in that regard.
Bottom-Up Capitalism Disrespects contract terms providing monopolistic leverage.
Top-Down Capitalism Respects contract terms including monopolistic leverage.
Fascism Requirements by force to only utilize government-approved organizations for economic resources, including by licenses or permits, but also by dictating supply and demand control edicts directly as quantity and quality controls, as the source for the means of production or other economic activity. This system is contradictory to communism and capitalism, but compatible with socialism.
Examples of fascism include fishing permits and hair cutting licenses. Fascism often forms industrial monopolization when consolidating industry as a partnership of chartered business (as corporation) and the state. As with capitalism it could also fragment monopolies, but the reverse would be expected more often. This definition of economic fascism is different word usage than the common definition of the term, which is used to mean dictatorship or effective monarchy.
Socialism The redistribution of personal and organizational economic resources by a governing body from people or organizations with more resources to people or organizations with less resources. This can be partially done indirectly by market price controls including business minimum wages. Private business regulations unrelated to supply and demand (which are considered fascism) are socialist business regulations. This system is considered compatible with communism and fascism, but contradictory to capitalism.
Communism Placing means of production, including production of monies, into the hands of a governing body.
The government body is believed as claimed by the people of those under this jurisdiction to advocate for their interests. This system is contradictory to fascism and capitalism, but complimentary to socialism. Communism may include mandated industrial monopolies by forcing competitors to government-run businesses to close their business. A common implementation of communism is a government-operated logistics service for mail delivery.
Fiat Business Regulations Business regulations by force
of government are categorized as fascist or socialist depending on their nature. Fascist regulation is focused on supply and demand as quantity, quality, and allowance of production and distribution. Socialist regulation is focused on worker terms and conditions and customer benefits. An example of fascist regulation is a requirement to get a fishing license. An example of socialist regulation is a price limit on fish for sale. This contrasts with capitalist business regulations which are set by customer contracts as either implied or stated. An example of a capitalist business regulation is a customer who only shops at a market which has ethically sourced fish and pays their workers a living wage.
Philosophic Civic Analysis: Resource Constraint Determination Metrics:
Capitalism Ratio of resource usage per unit time as government to non-government resource usage. Currently this could be measured as annual non-government spending to total spending published as GDP measurements. This can then be multiplied by the inverse of the fascist constraint metric to subtract out fascist constraints, as they reduce capitalism. The inverse of the capitalist metric is the economic constraint metric.
Fascism Ratio of government chartered businesses such as corporations to sole proprietorships, in terms of employees and revenues. Per-capita licenses, economic approvals, and permits. Average hours worked for tax accounting. Number of people in prison for prohibited business activity. Number of words in business regulations more related to supply and demand controls than pricing or worker benefit controls.
This would be best measured as annual chartered (by corporation), licensed, or location-controlled/zoned commerce business revenues to total spending published as GDP measurements.
Socialism Government welfare and wealth redistribution payments per unit time. Number of words in business regulations less related to direct supply and demand quantity and quality controls, but more related to market price controls and worker benefit controls. Currently this could be measured as annual government spending on welfare and wealth redistribution efforts, to total spending published as GDP measurements.
Communism Government revenues by industry per unit time.
Currently this could be measured as annual government revenues from all business activity, tariffs, corporate taxes, commercial fees, fines, permits, and licenses, then less any socialist redistribution costs (because those are already measured as socialism). Divide this number by total spending published as GDP measurements to determine the percentage of communism.
Philosphic Civic Analysis: Social Constraint Models: Dictatorship One group of people forces another otherwise unwilling group of people to behave to a conformed society.
Culture, social behavior, reproductive behavior, and personality traits are required by force. Restraints may include requiring permission for action, banning others (outside a ruling class) from having certain substances, and requiring participation in group events.
Theocratic Constraint Specific belief systems are required by force. Specific beliefs may be mandated to be taught in schools. Distribution of specific educational material may be mandated. People expressing specific
beliefs may be officially ostracized.
