Harm closes futures.

Good preserves them.

Better is the least-closing path when the field is already damaged.

From these three simple principles, Modal Path Ethics builds a complete and rigorous moral framework, one that reaches beneath intention, blame, and suffering towards the underlying structural geometry of what human action actually does to the continuable future of reality.

It then applies that framework to punishment, institutional failure, civilizational decline, addiction, parenting, whistleblowing, and the question of when coercive force can be justified.

A prison can be made very orderly. A terrorized workplace can be orderly. A silenced family can be orderly. The question is what kind of field that order actually reveals.

The book includes engagements with Rawls, Williams, Parfit, Sen, Scanlon, and the traditions of modal metaphysics, alongside plain-English explanations of every core concept and, as a bonus, a playtest version of the original abstract strategy game, Chirality, whose structure mirrors the ethics it accompanies.

For readers in philosophy, political theory, institutional design, and anyone who suspects that moral seriousness and moral theater are not, in fact, the same thing.
