Chapter 4: Agreeing to Agree

   To establish peace, we look at the reasons peace might be broken.  Total peace is a state in which there are no fights and all potential causes of fights are addressed.
   It is to be deduced that to establish and maintain a state of peace, two things must happen:  a) we make and keep agreements so as to avoid disagreements, and b) where justice or peace is obstructed, we derive and enforce a logical consequence over the obstructer(s).
   The second requisite falls on the responsibility of authorities, but the first one applies to all.
   In other words, everyone must come to a common understanding (or agreement) before participating in acts that could be considered objectionable.

Formal Derivation:

4.0 - In order to establish and maintain peace: a) we make and keep agreements so as to avoid disagreements, and b) where justice or peace is obstructed, we derive and enforce a logical consequence over the obstructer(s).

Case B:  Suppose that, despite the implications of Karma, someone finds it fit to fight.

4.1 - To be at total peace, we must remedy all disagreements, misunderstandings, broken agreements, eruptions of chaos, acts done so as to dominate over another (unless agreed upon and exercised fairly), and senseless acts of violence.
   4.1.1.  To be at total peace is to have no fights or potential fights.
   4.1.2.  We want peace.
   4.1.3.  Suppose certain people want to fight
   4.1.4.  We are to bypass and eliminate all causes of fights
   4.1.5.  Fights are based upon disagreements, misunderstandings, broken agreements, eruptions of chaos, a need to establish dominance, and no reason - just because.
   4.1.6. In order to be at total peace, we must eliminate or remedy the factors (named in 4.1.4) that are considered to be the basis for fights and potential fights. 

4.2 - We keep peace a) by making and keeping agreements to avoid disagreements and b) by responding to obstructions of peace and justice by removing them and supplying whatever other logical consequences are derived.
   4.2.1.  By 4.1.5, to establish total peace:
       4.2.1.1.  We are to resolve our disagreements.  We do this by compromising and making agreements.
       4.2.1.2.  We are to resolve misunderstandings, and this is done by identifying misconceptions and coming to a common understanding (the definition of agreement).
       4.2.1.3 We are to keep the agreements we make, and for agreements broken (acting as a broken law) there is to be issued a logical consequence.
       4.2.1.4. We are to reestablish order during a chaotic outburst.  Since rationalization doesn't reestablish order during chaotic catastrophes, martial law would be derived as a logical consequence to reestablish order over the people contributing to the chaos.
       4.2.1.5. We are to detain those who fight to establish their dominance (except in the case of a competition).  
           4.2.1.5.a.  If a fight or potential fight is founded on the need for someone to dominate, the person is fighting to rise above the ones they are trying to dominate.
           4.2.1.5.b.  Unless a person can be rightfully determined as a superior to another, acts to dominate over another contradict the principle of Karma - the principle that ensures equality of all.
           4.2.1.5.c.  The person trying to dominate, by Karma, would be dominated by authority, detained until control is regained, and issued a logical consequence for obstructing peace.
       4.2.1.6.  We are to detain those who fight without a reason as this could be classified as chaotic (without reason or order), and we are to issue a logical consequence for obstructing peace.
   4.2.2.  Conclusion:  Clearly, by summarizing the deductions, to establish and maintain peace, we are to 1) make and keep agreements so as to avoid disagreements and 2) derive necessary and logical consequences over those who obstruct peace.
