RippleLogic
Universal Ethical OS

What you do matters.

Every choice you make sends ripples through your world. To your family. Your community. The planet itself. RippleLogic is a rights-first decision system that helps you see these connections, protect what must be protected, and move toward genuine flourishing for everyone involved.

Rights floor (NCRC) Tail-risk bound (TRC) Auditable procedure Learning loop (NCAR)

Choose your path

Three ways to enter: learn the framework, use it right now, or dive into the research.

New here?

Start with the simple overview and core terms. Build your intuition before going deeper. We will walk you through it step by step.

Start learning →

Need to decide now?

Use the cascade to filter out rights violations and catastrophic exposure, then optimize for the best outcome. Takes about two minutes.

Run the cascade →

Researcher or PhD?

Read the preprint, examine the methods, and review the validation program. This framework is built to be testable and falsifiable.

The NCAR Loop

A daily practice you can run in minutes. Notice what is happening. Choose wisely. Act with intention. Reflect and grow.

N
Notice

Pause for 10 seconds. Name the decision you are facing. Define its scope. Identify which unions (Self, Household, Community, and beyond) are involved.

C
Choose

Run the cascade: check for rights violations, check for catastrophic risks, protect containing unions, then optimize for the greatest ripple benefit.

A
Act

Implement your decision with monitoring in place. Record what you did and why. Keep track of what you expect to happen.

R
Reflect

Compare what actually happened to what you predicted. Where were you right? Where did you miss? Update your approach and learn.

The Five-Level Lexicographic Cascade

Earlier levels cannot be overridden by later scoring. This is what makes the system trustworthy. Constraints come first, optimization comes after.

Decision Cascade

Process options in strict order
1
NCRC
Rights floor: remove any option that violates rights
2
TRC
Tail-risk bound: remove options with catastrophic exposure
3
Containment
Structural integrity: protect the unions that contain you
4
RLS
Welfare optimization: rank remaining options by ripple impact
5
UCI
Structural health: break ties using coherence and integrity
Use this before any decision: a message to a friend, a business choice, a policy proposal, an AI deployment. The cascade keeps you honest.

The Seven Unions

Your choices ripple outward through nested circles of connection. RippleLogic tracks impact across all seven unions and optimizes under constraints.

Tools and Interactive Work

The framework is designed to be used, not just read. Start with a decision run, then explore scenarios and learning games.

Run

Generate a structured decision record using the cascade and the NCAR loop. Get clear recommendations in about two minutes.

The invitation: You do not need to be perfect. You need to be willing to see. Willing to check. Willing to learn. RippleLogic gives you the tools to make your choices visible, to protect what matters, and to grow toward WE together. Every small decision, done with care, creates the world we want to live in.
