Chapter 5: A Moral Universe – Every Interaction as Rights Conflict

Physics and Morality as Identical

Capabilities = rights; interactions = moral events.

Beaver/tree: Physical gnawing = moral violation (tree loses capabilities).

Moral Weight by Scope/Complexity

Greater capabilities lost = heavier violation (tree vs. rock).

Reframing Conflict Positively

Cell membrane symbiosis from opposing flows.

Courtroom/divorce/family disputes as resolution paths.

Patience/humility for inevitable harmony.
