IndisputableMonolith.Philosophy.EthicsFromJCost
The module derives an ethical framework from J-cost symmetry in Recognition Science. It centers on the golden rule J(r) = J(1/r) for recognition ratios r > 0 and defines EthicalFramework, harmony_zero, EthicsCert and related structures. Researchers linking physical recognition costs to moral principles would cite it. The module consists of definitions with no theorems or proofs.
claimThe golden rule states that $J(r) = J(1/r)$ for every recognition ratio $r > 0$, where $J$ is the cost function. The module introduces EthicalFramework as the structure built on this symmetry together with harmony_zero and EthicsCert.
background
The module belongs to the Philosophy domain and imports IndisputableMonolith.Cost, which supplies the J-cost function. It introduces EthicalFramework, frameworkCount, golden_rule, harmony_zero, EthicsCert and ethicsCert as the core definitions. The setting treats ethics as a direct consequence of J-cost symmetry, extending the Recognition Composition Law and the forcing chain landmarks (T5 J-uniqueness, T6 phi fixed point).
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the ethical interpretation of the J-cost framework and connects to the Recognition Science monolith via the Cost import. It fills the philosophical extension of the T0-T8 chain and the RCL without downstream theorems listed.
scope and limits
- Does not derive concrete ethical rules beyond the golden-rule symmetry.
- Does not prove consistency with classical ethical systems.
- Does not supply empirical tests or falsification criteria for the framework.
- Does not address multi-agent or conflicting recognition ratios.
