Applied Case: The Biosphere in 2026
The framework applied without any restraint to the structural emergency we are actually in, right now. Twelve applied cases. Direct rulings. An overall ruling on the current configuration of Earth's biosphere.
Biosphere as Structure
What Lovelock and Margulis were trying to say, what this framework lets them say cleanly, and what this gives environmental ethics that the existing positions cannot reach.
Tales of Distortion: The N-Rays

Commensurability
This is the center line position that makes the rest of Modal Path Ethics work. The corpus has been operating in it across every article.

Formal: Weighted Reachable Future Space
Why is moral weight structural, not subjective?
The objection here is not that Modal Path Ethics lacks a definition of harm. The objection is that the definition used appears to require a second operation which has not yet been defended.
If harm is contraction of reachable future-space in extance, then
