RE: Graphing the Zeroth Constitution, Articles B and C

This is an interesting and very intricate system. There's probably room for some improvements. One thing I get a little hung up on is the term "defensive aggression". My gut reaction is that this is an inconsistency that would best be corrected, but on second thought wording it correctly is a challenge and you may have ended up with a particularly neatly working concept. I admit that it's more advanced than I first thought.

Thank you for all your work on this. :) I can't wait to get back into this form of what I would consider highly productive activism again, but for now I have a few other things to tend to. This one is a keeper though. What you are doing here is very good and I'm proud to have had a part in it initially before we got into the Nth Society.

Thank you, your input was invaluable! 🙌

I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on the term "defensive aggression", if you have time please expand.

My first reaction is that there is no such thing as "defensive aggression". That they are opposites. But then again, if the former term provides context for the latter I might see what it means in practice and I don't really have a better term at this point. I would probably have preferred no extra combination term be used in the first place however. That instead of creating new words, the existing ones were better ordered by definition to communicate the same thing as clear or clearer without added risk of confusions later down the line.

Interesting thoughts.

The reason I chose to go with a definition where "aggression" is qualified by "defensive" is because defending yourself or your property from aggression appears to be straight up aggression out of context. So the definition is biased (in a good way I hope) towards a legal process perspective where proof and argumentation are required to establish facts from claims.
