Ahimsa

Foundational Logic

Ahimsic Intelligence: Non-violence (ahimsa) is not passive but actively engineered into all systems—the positive presence of care rather than mere absence of harm.

🔮 Sustainability Theorems

A cross-domain analysis of Political, Economic, Cultural, and Ecological theories.

Political Theory

Restorative Governance
Conflict transformation that heals rather than punishes

Economic Theory

Harm-Free Economics
Systems designed so no one's prosperity requires another's deprivation

Cultural Theory

Cultural Reverence
Active protection and celebration of diverse meaning systems

Ecological Theory

Ecological Reciprocity
Human participation that enhances rather than depletes

Designs systems where no one’s well-being requires another’s suffering—safety, health, and dignity as universal conditions.

🩺 Diagnosis Questions

1. Does the system have mechanisms for repairing harm when it occurs?

2. Are there feedback loops that prevent the externalization of costs?

3. Does the system become more non-violent through use?

❌ Tetrad Analysis

Central Claim:  
Non-violence actively engineered into all systems
  • Object of Perception: Conflict / Harm
  • ENHANCES: Healing; reconciliation; trust; systemic care; proactive harm reduction
  • OBSOLESCES: Punitive justice; retributive violence; cost externalization
  • RETRIEVES: Ancient non-violence principles as active design in modern systems
  • REVERSES INTO: Non-violence becomes the default condition, with violence seen as system design failure

📝 Partial Diagnosis

Engineered Ahimsa - Non-violence as an active design principle, not just an ethical preference.
