1 · Reality Grounding
Identify what is known, unknown, disputed, and how confident the evidence really is.
A clearer way to decide.
RippleLogic begins with a simple commitment: understand the world, protect affected beings, test serious risks, check whether action is viable, and only then compare the remaining options.
Four qualify. One ranks.
2 · Rights Floor
Do not improve an overall score by violating non-compensatory protections.
3 · Tail-risk Constraint
Consider plausible severe harms across more than one scenario, including low-probability outcomes.
4 · Structural Viability
Check capability, reversibility, monitoring, governance and the systems on which an action depends.
5 · RippleLogic Score
Rank only qualifying choices by transparent consequences across affected welfare domains.
Who matters?
RippleLogic uses seven affected scopes and seven welfare dimensions as a structured accountability map. The Sentience Gradient Protocol (SGP) helps frame moral-status and welfare protection under uncertainty; protection and decision authority are separate questions.
Neither this introductory page nor a classroom exercise is a substitute for the governing Canon or a certified decision tool.
