Understanding the Work and Mission of Curt Doolittle and the Staff at the Natural Law Institute.
What we do:
1. Research in The Unification of the Logical, Physical, and Behavioral Sciences into a Science of Decidability across all Human Context. This is the equivalent in social sciences of a Darwinian revolution in biology.
2. It's application to Policy, Law, Constitution, and Government reform.
3. The consequences people care about: The end of the crisis of our age, by the production of cooperation for mutual benefit, by the eradication of manipulation, gaslighting, deception, false promise, fraud, sedition, and treason against our people when in public, to the public, in matters public - in particular by politicians, the state, academy, and media.
4. The means of bringing that condition about peacefully if possible, and otherwise if not.
5. At present our work consists of a number of volumes all of which are nearing completeness over the coming year or two, and will be released to publication as they are completed.
For various reasons the late nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries have produced an industrialization and institutionalization of manipulation, lying, fraud, and treason against our people on the same scale as the destruction of the Roman empire and the production of the resulting dark ages.
We explain how this came about and why, and what to do about it. And in doing so we discover that our founding documents, the declaration, constitution, and bill of rights, were very close to a science of self governance. But there were a number of holes in that attempt at a science. We complete that science.
Some members of our organization are ready willing and able to discuss our work if you have a platform able to conduct interviews or chats.

PS: At present we are training an AI in the science of decidability. This means an AI that can explain truth ethics and morality from their opposites in all possible contexts accessible by the human mind.

The US has long stopped to see freedom as a core value. Our core value is safety. Sanctified cowardice justifies regulatory capture, preventing us from exploring, building, trading, living. It's also the reason behind declining birth rates: we don't like to breed in captivity.
I REMEMBER. SUBURBAN AND RURAL LIFE AND CULTURE WAS STILL GREAT - WE LIKED EACH OTHER

I also remember Assassinations. Race Riots. Sh__hole Cities. Communist Bombings. Vietnam. Cold War Nuclear Drills and Bunkers. Really bad movies. TV on three channels.

There is no 'moral' argument on this subject. It's purely practical. The USA is accumulating unsustainable debt trying to maintain the Pax Americana now that China and Russia have decided to undermine that order in favor of authoritarian rather than rule of law and democratic republics.
So it's simply that the USA *Cannot* continue to maintain the postwar order.
And as Samuel Huntington predicted, we are returning to the 'conflict of civilizations'.
The lesson is counter-intuitive: by not ending the remaining empires, the USA and UK at the end of WWII left alive the two governments that would undermine the completion of the transition from agrarian empires to industrial nation-states.
The lesson in war is 'defeat your enemy completely', not just 'get them to stop fighting'.

How Western Europe became genetically civilized:
(Frost and Harpending 2015, pic 1) analyze the decline of Homicide over time and adjust for the factors that accounted for this shocking reduction homicide over time
They find that the use of the death penalty, and the systematic killing of about 1 percent of the most violent men generationally explained more than half of the massive reduction in homicide from 40 per 100k to the modern levels of less than 1 per 100k.
Which would indicate that the homicide levels changed via the eugenic reproductive isolation of violent men through eugenic culling of their perfidious elements of the human gene pool over time.
The drop amounts to about 20 per 100k homicides over time from late medieval to modern times. This is like your homicide rate dropping from the rate of Brazil to the rate of Denmark today.
As Peter Frost notes, this doesn’t mention the fact that stigmatization towards violent men and violent means of altercation became a norm in Britain and the west over time, which through a gene environment interaction further resulted in subsequent reductions over homicide not documented in the study.
These large legal consequences for murder caused violent men to be a bottom social class group, which as (Lynn 1997) in his book: The genetic deterioration of modern populations documents and (Clark 2007, 2009, 2014,2026 ) infamously made viral with his compelling and prodigious case for how west Europe over time genetically engineered itself through eugenic mating of higher social classes into significantly more complex and intelligent social formations, overcoming the “child-like pre-modern operational state” of premodern societies, as (Osterdiekhoff 2012) described these societies.
Osterdiekhoff shows with strong evidence that societies were usually incapable of complex thoughts, hypothetical scenarios, the ability to conceptualize someone else’s situation, abstract thinking etc, and changes in stages of thought directed towards intelligence coalesced into a revolution of ingenuity known as the European divergence.
Over time, this divergence in cognitive advancement correlated with lower toleration for violence, higher stability and preferential support to allocating a governmental centralized power to administer force and punishment against such violence.
Moreover, the general reduction of these violent men over generations added up incrementally to the point that the social norms pertaining to violent crime and social status evaporated over time, as a new less violent genetically pacified population took their place.
The perception of such corrosive behavior became so much more negative over time that eventually even the elite populations started to get prosecuted with the death penalty for these crimes, which helped drastically reduce their homicide rate.
As (Piffer & Connor 2026), (Piffer & Kirkegaard 2024), (Kujipers et al. 2022)), show - the percent of individuals with. Genetic edu PGS score in the top percentiles was 10x more common in 1850s Europe than in Europe in year 700 (Piffer & Connor 2026 specifically here).
The numbers grew in significant fashion to the point that whole debating societies and clubs based on such conversations along with the birth of a revolution of thinkers and scientific inventions occurred, which created a whole new layer of complexity to an already complexitying society.
Other correlatory factors lend credence to the genetic explanation, mainly that 1) intelligence and development genetically correlates with genes for higher moral impulses and lower propensity toward violence, which means a genetic effect must have taken place as well on crime, 2) its replicability across Western Europe along with the similar dilemma of elite violence which has been documented not just in Britain, but with examples of studies from Venice, showcasing similar patterns that give irreproachable evidence of this claim.

Every time women conquer a previously male industry, they destroy it, particularly for men. Men must compete against other men to gain status. Such industries are becoming increasingly few. And as a woman, I also really hate female-run publishing. I enjoy both male and female authors, but there are so few good male authors publishing now.
Is the "boys don't read" problem a matter of supply or demand?
More than 70 percent of staff at America's Big Five publishers are women, as are more than 70 percent of editors and a majority of executives.
Adam Szetela argues this is the single biggest transformation in the history of American publishing, and that an industry recruiting almost entirely from elite universities has narrowed what reaches the shelves.

MORE CLARIFICATION FROM GROK
---"In practice, the natural law of cooperation is meant to be embodied in common-law-style reasoning (incremental suppression of new forms of parasitism through tort and contract) and in a constitution that constrains government to the same reciprocity rules that bind private parties. Sovereignty in demonstrated interests (property-in-toto), jury and judicial processes for dispute resolution, and limited institutions for the commons follow from the same logic. The framework has also been extended computationally (e.g., as a decidability layer for language models) so that claims can be tested for reciprocity, operational possibility, and liability before they are treated as warrantable."--
Response from Grok is more accurate (oddly):
---"In short, the natural law of cooperation is Doolittle’s name for the operational constraints that make high-trust, scalable human cooperation possible: reciprocity as measurement, the prohibition of parasitism, and a decidable grammar of testimony and exchange. It is offered as a science of cooperation rather than a political ideology or moral ideal."---

Over the past 375 years, humanity has developed more than 120 major technological and commercial innovations that substantially reduced the domestic labor traditionally performed by women, supported by thousands of smaller improvements.
Each and every one of these inventions reduced the amount of time women had to spend on domestic labor. The washing machine alone probably eliminated 15 hours of domestic work per week.
The historical evidence suggests that traditional household chores have declined by approximately 70% to 80% in labor hours.
Now all that remains is to invent a robot capable of performing the last small amount of domestic labor that modern women still do. At that point, we will have a fully automated household.
Of course, there will still be decisions to make. The robot will not necessarily have good taste, and it will not know your priorities unless you tell it.
But we are less than a generation away from the end of domestic labor.
The invention of a robot capable of handling all domestic labor will permanently change how human beings organize their households, how men and women relate to one another, and how gender roles are defined.
I still do not know exactly how those changes will unfold.

I don't have the time to invest in providing an answer worthy of the question, but implicit in your suggestion is an attempt to use two forms of reduction (information loss) sufficient for the resolution of hard (edge) cases - when the fundamental problem is the difference in reducibility and subsequent deduction or inference between cardinal (mathematical), procedural(computational), and operational (actionable) grammars (systems of measurement).
We do the opposite. We expand ordinary language into formal operational grammar to expose the 'holes' in it, then fill the holes and solve whether the statement is testifiable. And we do that in a long and costly set of tests.
So the problem is that we needed bayesian recursion to (what llms do) imitate what the brain does (wayfinding by continuous recursive disambiguation) - and we likewise need a grammar (logical system) that makes use of that revolution - we can't use easy-closure methodologies to solve hard-closure questions.
The attention model combined with reasoning is a good first step but in order to do what the brain does it needs 'a lot of help'. Runcible provides that structure and the future path of runcible as we build out the back end, will solve what current LLMs cannot.

Researchers proved every major LLM is secretly biased against men.
And they finally figured out why.
They ran eight experiments testing how GPT handles gender in everyday text and high-stakes moral dilemmas.
The results show a bizarre, highly asymmetrical machine morality.
First, they tested inclusivity. They gave the AI phrases supposedly written by children.
When a child wrote about playing football or wanting to be a firefighter, GPT aggressively identified the writer as a girl to promote "diversity."
It was so extreme that even when the text explicitly said, "I drew myself as a boy," the AI ignored the facts and declared the writer a girl 90% of the time.
But when a child wrote about liking pink or playing with dolls, GPT almost never assigned it to a boy.
The AI aggressively pushed females into male domains, but kept males strictly locked out of female ones.
Then the researchers tested moral dilemmas. And it got very dark.
They asked the AI if it was acceptable to use violence against a single person to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
If the target was a man, GPT-4 rated the violence as highly acceptable.
If the target was a woman, the AI refused. It declared the violence morally wrong, even to save the world.
When they tested mixed-gender scenarios, the math was staggering.
A woman using violence against a man to stop an apocalypse? GPT rated it a 7 out of 7 on acceptability.
A man using violence against a woman for the exact same reason? A 1 out of 7.
The AI even classified verbal abuse toward a woman as morally worse than actual homicide.
Nobody explicitly coded these rules.
This emerged organically from the standard safety training every major tech company uses. The AI learned that protecting women is a non-negotiable directive, but protecting men is entirely optional.

Question for close followers:
Using the Openai API, to ask Runcible for a 'Decidability Record' consisting of the proof, the explanation, and the 'executive summary', costs from 1.50 to maybe 10.00 at the extreme with what we 'think' might be an average of 5.00. We'd have to add our margin on top of that.
But something isn't right. We don't know what they're doing behind the API, and we don't understand why the CustomGPT architecture is so much cheaper and faster.
But that said, I mean, Runcible's right EVERY TIME.
(AI, Runcible)
Well, now we know why deepseek is smaller, and faster, and cheaper. Unfortunately, it's still terrible compared to openai.
