The same community, different promises of rights by generation

2260The deep futureDeadline · Within 2 years until the rights reconciliation session

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

Citizens living long lives planned their lives trusting different charter versions. Unifying on the latest version changes the premises of past choices; keeping old agreements changes the rights and burdens of citizens using the same resources. Should the same rule apply to everyone, should each person's promise continue, or should there be a common minimum to keep together with individual succession?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Apply the latest charter version to everyone

    Makes the common rules clear, but leaves losses from irreversible choices made in reliance on earlier agreements.

  2. Option 2

    Keep succession to the agreement at coming of age

    Preserves long-term expectations for life, but sustains several systems of rights within the same community.

  3. Option 3

    Agree on a common minimum and the scope of individual succession

    Adjusts expectations while leaving a common core, but increases the boundaries of exceptions and the cost of interpretation.

The situation as it stands

The assumed community changed its charter several times over very long lives, and citizens planned their lives on the basis of different agreements. Decision deadline: within 2 years, by the rights adjustment session.

A synthetic future scenario set in 2260 · Different generations came of age under different versions of the same charter. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of the future or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed community changed its charter several times over very long lives, and citizens planned their lives on the basis of different agreements.
  2. Premise 2Applying the latest version puts everyone under the same rules, but changes the premises of choices made long ago.
  3. Premise 3Keeping the agreement in force at the time of coming of age leaves rights and burdens differing among citizens who use the same resources.

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify “choices in life that can no longer be reversed,” and re-judge when a new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify “points where rights under different versions directly conflict,” and re-judge when a new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and confirmation channel will verify “the willingness of a new generation to share the cost of exceptions,” and re-judge when a new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.

Which is the basis of representation: expertise, majority, or random selection?

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.
