Derive the Law

   Welcome to my blog - Derive the Law.  In this blog, as the name suggests, I will derive the law from observations and principles that can be agreed upon.  In the first part of each chapter, I will summarize the information that is derived by the formal derivation included in the second part (of each chapter).  I hope you enjoy reading it.  Feel free to comment.
  

Summary of the Blog:

 

Deriving the Basis for Laws and Rights:

 

   To derive the law, we start with no laws; and a space free of laws is called "Free Space" (Chapter 1).  In free space, by Karma, the fundamentally understood principle of equality and balance (Chapter 2), we agree that it would be best to not fight, and so we establish a foundational Peace Covenant (Chapter 3).  To bypass fighting over whatever issues there might be, we eliminate the causes of fights by agreeing to make and keep agreements so as to avoid disagreements (Chapter 4) and by holding persons who obstruct peace or justice responsible for their actions.  Finally, since people can only agree or disagree with a matter if it involves them, a person can exercise their right to personal or group-consented choices (i.e. choices that do not:  1) subject persons that do not agree, 2) intend to affect a person that does not want to be affected, or 3) violate the terms of an agreement) (Chapter 5).

Money:

 

    In life, there are objectives we must accomplish, some with obstacles that, on the surface level, prevent us from accomplishing those objectives.  Many times, we can develop a systematic function that overcomes, displaces, or bypasses the obstacles we face in order to accomplish objectives.  We call this type of function a game (Chapter 6).  Each person has an objective - to supply for their needs, and an obstacle - what we need might be rightfully owned by another person or business.  By Karma, to receive a need would be balanced by supplying a need of the same worth.  This defines the trade game.  The money game is based on the same rules as the trade game; however, people trade money (a universally-accepted amount of worth) for goods and services.  People are to earn this money (and enough of it) by contributing their part to the good of society (Chapter 7).  There are many problems with the economy (due to leaks, sponges, and improper use of money), and these are identified in Chapter 8.  Chapter 9 poses a solution that uses money in light of its intended purpose and fixes the problems in Chapter 8.  Chapter 10 addresses concerns that may arise due to the proposed change in the system.
