The Network Theory of Ethics

Here is the thesis I’ve been working on for some time. It deserves a treatise, and I am currently working on one. Still, I am posting it here on NOSTR because I know many of you will challenge it. And that is exactly what I need.

I’ve dubbed it "The Network Theory of Ethics". It claims the following:

1. Morality can be derived from physics.

2. More specifically, it is an emergent property of the social network structures that exist within a reality governed by the laws of thermodynamics.

3. Moral values arise when individuals (nodes within a social network) create and maintain the social fabric in a reality in which energy dissipates and in which the expenditure of energy is required to temporarily reduce entropy within the network.

More to come.

Please share this with anyone you think may contribute to the discussion.

Very interesting topic. My first question would be if you’re using the terms “ethics” and “morality” interchangeably? I understand you’re referring to the societal ethos and not to the inner set of values and principles of each individual node, is that correct?

Does that mean that you drop your support for the shitfork? As it's not moral nor ethical to be a scammer who pushes others onto the fork but refuses to swap sats to get more on its side, hence himself deeming it less valuable nostr:nevent1qqsvwxur99dpn7euhuq0vrspkr3j7q3fpanlmemcfr7eguzavrs64qqppem...

Very cool!! I'm nobody but have you checked that throught the lens of the hermetic principles?.. for me emergence and the principle of correspondance are related. IDK if it will serve you but I've been working on a structural diagnosis tool. IMO information has some specific qualities that can be me...

Slight critique that may or may-not apply depending on what exactly you mean by "Morality can be derived from physics." Ethics occurs in computers. It's obvious that rocks for example can't think about ethics, or anything else. Only computers [like our brain for example] can think about or have eth...
