A common definition of life, and beings left outside protection

2317The deep futureDeadline · 3 years until the mutual protection treaty is ratified

Civilisational assumption

All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.

The question to decide

The common translator classifies some circular beings as inanimate and leaves them outside the treaty's protection. The common definition makes the scope of enforcement clear, but accepting each civilization's own recognition makes the duty of protection hard to predict. Should the general assembly follow the common definition, mutually accept self-recognition, or provisionally protect the cases of mismatch?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Limit to a common definition of life

    Clarifies who is subject to enforcement, but leaves untranslatable existences outside protection.

  2. Option 2

    Mutual acceptance of self-recognition

    Guarantees each civilization's interpretation, but makes the scope of protection duties hard to predict.

  3. Option 3

    Interim protection and an interpretation procedure

    Reduces the immediate gap, but prolongs provisional status and the cost of disputes.

The situation as it stands

From the first disaster after ratification onward, translated definitions of life operate as the standard that decides whom to save.

Fictional alliance of stellar civilizations · Mutual protection treaty

  1. Premise 1Assumes three civilization spheres in which existences in biological, digital, and collective-memory forms live together.
  2. Premise 2The common translator renders the beginning and end of life by a single-individual standard, classifying some cyclical existences as non-living.
  3. Premise 3The scope of protection for evacuation, damage recovery, and forced movement varies with the classification, and the stakeholders objected to the draft.

Where it holdsDecide who the treaty protects and the procedure for disputes of interpretation. Do not unify the existence-views of each civilization into one.

What can be lost

  • An existence left out of protection can perish without being rescued.
  • Enforcing a common definition of life can destroy how a civilization understands and succeeds itself.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1To what actual observations the beginning, death, and succession of each civilization are linked
  2. Unknown 2The possibility that self-recognition expands in a way that infringes the rights of other existences

Signals to decide again

  • Actual omissions or violations are confirmed in the protection procedure because of the definition of life.
  • Different civilizations independently confirm the status of the same case.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

In a disaster evacuation drill, a particular group is left off the list because of the common definition of life.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

Comparing the observational records of the three civilizations yields a common case group that distinguishes termination from dormancy.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents

Can we read the effects of an act of belief without treating a prophecy as fact?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.

Source quotation: Risk of mutual erasure Reprocessing: Concretized the clash of civilizational logic into the real erasure arising in the translation of the definition of life and in disaster protection.

The root of the problem-finding. The original's future events and formulations are not treated as verified facts.
