scope of the issue at hand, as sought after by the original
parties.
But where does disagreement or controversy come
from? Whether a dispute between nation states, or an
issue between a father and his son, the primary factors
involved are knowledge and free will.
until all persons are apprised as to the intended plans of
the acting party. In other words, communication of one’s
goals, with full and complete disclosure, is an essential
part of preventing controversy before it happens. If
individuals were simply willing to share the whole truth
with their fellows, the vast majority of all controversies
would be settled in short order.
If agreement is the term used to denote when two minds
have become one, then knowledge is the foundation on
which the will acts to issue consent. We cannot agree to
something we are not aware of, therefore the absence of
knowledge creates the potential for controversy. Communication is the primary tool for ensuring that knowledge possessed in one mind is transmitted to another.
Once each party is of the same mind, now a choice can
be made to either agree or disagree from a similar point
of view.
In this sense, all justice employs communication, with
the primary goal of reestablishing cooperation in social
systems. The mechanics of cooperation are expressed
in many ways, most recognizably in the four elements
of a contract. Once these elements are understood, the
individual is possessed of key knowledge to navigate the
world without creating controversy. These are the attributes of an honorable, sovereign, and wise being seeking
to harmonize their goals and plans with all others.
Knowledge provides a foundation, but free will must
still accept or reject what was offered. When an individual rejects the perspectives of another this is known
as dishonor. Dishonor creates more controversy because
it is a rejection of another’s point of view, no matter
how erroneous that may be ‒ another disagreement. The
resolution of a disagreement cannot take place honorably unless all parties involved choose to do so: actually
accept the knowledge provided by another via a free will
choice. When an individual chooses to accept the position of another, this is known as honor, indicative of a
willingness to settle the controversy.
ELEMENTS OF A CONTRACT
When individuals cannot resolve disputes on their own,
because of a refusal to settle the matter, dishonor in
some capacity is hindering cooperation because no trust
has been established. In many cases, compromise could
have been reached that would satisfy both parties, but
bruised egos and a desire to continue the controversy
prevent resolution.
Any time an individual’s desire and plan of manifestation affects another, the potential for controversy exists
Natural Law is the term describing primal realities
which are foundational to the worldly setting for human activities, especially those relating to personal
sovereignty and inalienable rights. The right to engage
in commerce or cooperation is a core component to a
contractual arrangement, wherein two or more free will
beings form a union of intent to bring about a mutually
agreeable working, development or co-creation. In order
to achieve this state of cooperation, the free flow of ideas
and information between parties is essential.
The four elements of a contract detail the mechanics of
establishing trust, and in the case of justice, the process
of resolving controversy.
Element #1 - Intention to Create. A goal or desire is
envisaged in the mind and a potential protocol, plan of
action, or method for actualization is explored. At this
stage, no communication has taken place, only formulation of the goal and plan of action.
