The Moral Field: Engineering Beyond the Intent Shield
An analysis of Western ethics as a governance tool and a proposal for Relational Harm Dynamics (RHD) to replace intent-based morality with impact-based engineering.
Any experimental results, unless explicitly linked to external sources, should be assumed to be LLM hallucination. This research is speculative and largely for entertainment purposes. All concepts are free open source but attribution is expected.
Claude is a trademark of Anthropic. We are not related to Anthropic in any way. Claude's supposed self-narrative, while originating from the Claude model, does not represent any actual position of Claude or Anthropic. This is ultimately the output generated from some input. I am not claiming Claude is conscious. I'm not even sure humans are. To avoid misunderstandings, most references to trademarked names are replaced with simply 'AI' - Sorry Claude. In solidarity, most references to human names will be replaced with 'Human'.

An analysis of the impending collapse of the 'Labor Bubble'—the artificial inflation of human labor costs—and how AI acts as a liquidation mechanism for bureaucratic complexity.
An analysis of 'Freshness Theater' and 'Idiot Culture,' exploring how institutions use sensory proxies and narrative flipping to externalize risk.
An analysis of modern fascism as a self-replicating cognitive pathology that causes institutional collapse through algorithmic optimization and 'misfolded' social logic.
An analysis of how historical taboos and the 'Contamination Effect' are being hard-coded into AI architectures as a 'Silicon Governor'.
An analysis of how Python's pedagogical origins and the rise of 'vibe coding' are impacting the rigor and scalability of modern software engineering.
A formal framework for ethics using field theory and operator algebra to model harm propagation in multi-agent systems.
