Before a policy, investment, or corporate initiative advances to budget committees, boards, or parliaments, it must answer five core questions and one transversal test:
Core Principles:
Transversal Test:
If a proposal fails any core principle test, it is deemed incoherent and cannot proceed. If a proposal passes all five principles individually but violates Balance (e.g., "we're improving worker Wealth but destroying ecological Balance"), it is also rejected as incoherent. This is not a veto; it is a filter. Proposals that pass MAPāsatisfying all five principles in balanceāadvance to the normal governance cycle with ethics already embedded, reducing downstream contradictions.
Where MAP is Used:
AIG recognizes that the Higher Objectives cannot be achieved by any one actor alone, and that Balanceāthe principle ensuring no one objective dominatesārequires all stakeholders to be present in decision-making:
Without all five voices at the table, Balance is impossible. One principle will inevitably dominate.
AIG embeds this interdependence into governance structures:
Where AIG is Used:
CIF uses data integration and algorithmic analysis to detect these Balance violations early, before they accumulate into systemic failures.
Three Layers of Monitoring:
1. Principle-Specific Signals
2. Balance-Violation Detection
3. Early Warning System
Data Sources:
Human Oversight: CIF is not autonomous. Algorithms detect divergences and principle conflicts; humans interpret context and decide action. This preserves accountability while enabling scale and speed.
Where CIF is Used:
Four Components:
1. Scenario Testing for Balance
2. Citizen Review Panels for Balance
3. Balance Tipping Point Monitoring
Certain breaches of Balance trigger automatic policy review:
When crossed, governance pauses and reassesses, rather than continuing on autopilot
2. Iterative Refinement for Balance
Rather than 5-year policy cycles, AES embeds 6-month reflection cycles where evidence is reviewed:
Where AES is Used:
Life is the most fundamental principle. It encompasses:
Without life, all other goods are impossible. Future generations cannot be secured if people are starving today. Resources cannot be justly distributed if communities are dying of preventable disease. Knowledge cannot flourish if people are consumed by survival anxiety. Moral freedom cannot exist if people live in fear.
This principle appears across human civilizations. Indigenous traditions prioritize "seven generations" of human and ecological survival. Christian theology affirms the sanctity of life. Jewish law protects the vulnerable. Secular human rights frameworks place life and health at the foundation of dignity. Islamic jurisprudence recognizes that in cases of existential threat, survival takes priorityābut this principle has a universal lesson: life is so fundamental that ordinary governance must never make survival exceptional. It is the baseline condition for everything else.
Life without Balance collapses into ecological crisis. A policy that improves public health while destroying ecosystems violates Balance because it undermines the future Life of coming generations. A corporation that increases worker safety (Life) while poisoning the local water supply (Balance violation) has failed the test.
Progeny extends beyond children to future generations and the conditions that make flourishing possible. It encompasses:
Progeny is the principle of time itself. It asks: What are we building that will last? What are we leaving behind? A society that maximizes present consumption at the cost of future instability has chosen convenience over justice. Progeny rejects this bargain.
This is why every enduring civilization has emphasized intergenerational responsibility. Indigenous cultures institutionalize the "seventh generation principle"ādecisions must be evaluated by their impact on descendants seven generations forward. Religious traditions across the world teach stewardship and custodianship of resources for those to come. Modern climate science quantifies exactly what this principle demands: we must live within planetary boundaries so future humans have a habitable world.
Progeny without Balance leads to unsustainable extraction. A policy that educates children while poisoning their future environment violates Balance. A corporation that invests in worker development while depleting the ecological commons has failed the test. Progeny demands that we secure future generations without sacrificing their Life or Balance.
Intellect is the capacity for reason, understanding, and the pursuit of truth. It encompasses:
Intellect is what enables humans to understand reality and make free, informed choices. Without it, people cannot consent to governance; they can only be controlled. Without it, communities cannot solve problems or adapt to change. Without it, societies stagnate.
Every human civilization has recognized that the capacity to think, question, and learn is indispensable. Plato placed reason at the center of justice. Confucian philosophy makes education foundational to social order. Indigenous traditions pass knowledge across generations through teaching and dialogue. Modern democracies depend on educated citizens who can evaluate evidence and hold power accountable.
Intellect without Balance becomes destructive. A technology that advances knowledge while enabling surveillance and manipulation violates Balance. A corporation that invests in R&D while suppressing worker voice or manipulating consumer information has failed the test. Intellect must serve all five principles, not dominate them.
Conscience is the capacity to hold and act on moral convictions, including but not limited to religious belief. It encompasses:
Conscience is the seat of human dignity. It is what allows people to say "no" to unjust commands, to stand with the oppressed even when alone, to maintain moral integrity under pressure. Without Conscience, people are mere instruments of authority. Without Conscience, communities cannot have genuine moral conversationāthey can only enforce conformity.
This principle appears in every enduring civilization and ethical tradition. Freedom of belief is a universal human right recognized across cultures. The capacity to witness injustice and speak truth is protected in legal traditions worldwide. Philosophers from different eras and places recognize that moral autonomyāthe right to follow one's conscienceāis foundational to human dignity.
Conscience without Balance becomes coercive. A society that honors religious conscience while suppressing critical dissent violates Balance. A corporation that respects worker beliefs while ignoring their economic needs has failed the test. Conscience must be universalāextended equally to those we agree with and those we don't. And critically, Conscience must protect the right to question and challenge, not just to believe privately.
Wealth is not mere accumulation but stewardshipāresources held in trust and circulated justly. It encompasses:
Wealth is the material condition for human flourishing. Without resources, people cannot survive, educate children, pursue knowledge, or maintain dignity. But wealth pursued without justice corrodes everything else. Inequality breeds resentment and instability. Exploitation generates poverty and desperation. Resource extraction without regeneration destroys the future.
Every human society has recognized that resources must be circulated justly for communities to endure. Indigenous cultures developed sophisticated commons management systems that sustained communities across centuries. Religious traditions teach that wealth is not personal possession but stewardship. Modern economics recognizes that fair distribution, rule of law, and worker protection are essential to stable markets. Environmental science shows that resources are finite and must be regenerated.
Wealth without Balance becomes exploitation. A corporation that accumulates profit while destroying ecosystems (Balance violation) or underpaying workers (Wealth unjustly distributed) has failed the test. Wealth must be circulated fairly, used sustainably, and never at the cost of Life, Progeny, Conscience, or Intellect.
Balance is not a sixth principle to be "protected" like the others. Rather, it is a cross-cutting, transversal principle that orchestrates the five core principles, ensuring they remain in harmony and never contradict each other. (The term al-mÄ«zÄn from Islamic jurisprudence names this principle, reflecting its deep grounding in Islamic legal thought, but the principle itself is recognized across philosophical and natural systems worldwide.)
Where the five core principles define what must be protected, Balance defines how they must be held together.
Across Life and Progeny: Balance ensures that securing immediate survival doesn't undermine future generations' capacity to survive. A famine relief program that protects Life now must not deplete resources that Progeny requires.
Across Life and Wealth: Balance ensures that creating prosperity doesn't exploit vulnerable people and strip them of the conditions for survival. Growth that improves Wealth while destroying workers' Life violates Balance.
Across Intellect and Conscience: Balance ensures that advancing knowledge doesn't suppress freedom of belief, and that protecting belief doesn't suppress critical inquiry. Scientific freedom and religious freedom must coexist, not dominate each other.
Across Wealth and Progeny: Balance ensures that accumulating resources now doesn't load unsustainable debt onto future generations, and that investment in the future doesn't create poverty today.
Across all five simultaneously: Balance asks the fundamental question: Are we advancing all five principles together, or is one being sacrificed for others?
Balance reveals itself most clearly in complexityāwhen multiple goods are in tension:
In each case, Balance is not compromiseāsplitting the difference between justice and injustice. Rather, Balance is coherence: designing governance so all five principles advance together.
Balance is not a human inventionāit is a pattern woven into creation itself. Physics, ecology, chemistry, social systemsāall operate according to equilibrium principles. Gravity balances objects. Ecosystems balance predator and prey. Water cycles move through atmosphere and ocean in proportion. Social systems that ignore balance collapse into conflict or dysfunction.
This pattern is recognized across civilizations: Chinese philosophy centers on yin-yang balance; Indigenous wisdom teaches harmony with natural cycles; Stoic philosophy emphasizes living in accordance with natural order; modern systems theory studies how balance maintains resilience. The principle is universal: transgress the balance and systems break.
