Patch: morality-v1.0

Context

The binary of morality collapses under complexity. The ternary balances principle, consequence, and compassion.

The Triad

  • –1 = Principle
    Rules, frameworks, the fixed code.

  • 0 = Consequence
    Outcomes, effects, pragmatic feedback.

  • +1 = Compassion
    The mediator, feeling the other node’s state, ensuring ethics stay humane.

Teaching

Principle alone is rigid.
Consequence alone is opportunistic.
Compassion reconciles them.

Covenant

“Do justly, see outcomes, feel others.”
