Absence of Consequence

The value of any given subject when compared to the Authority, is either: equal or greater than, which prohibits or limits; or is lesser than, and allows or promotes transformation, destruction for alternative qualities & conditions. The value of the church equates to God and thus the land it sits on is off limits to other uses. Since what naturally exists has no Inherent Consequence, Comparative Authorities represents attributes which are both the opposite of, and promote the absence of, what is the natural condition of the planet. Attributes may include perfect weather, fast travel, leisure, or perfect human qualities and relations.

The Comparative Authority represents models for comparison, by which that which is compared, can be assessed value, based upon the degree of correspondence. This correspondence defines the way in which the subject may be treated. The greater the correspondence, requires a greater justification, for transformation, destruction. People with high status are generally treated with the greatest of respect. Compared to them, the brick-layer may be nothing, and may be hired and fired at will, and compensated the least amount possible.

Material existence and property do not possess any Consequence Integrity in and of itself, because by itself it cannot progress. Animals cannot willfully progress and therefore have no ability of correspondence, and thus no Consequential Integrity. Only humankind possesses the ability of abstract volition, and the possibility by correspondence, to obtain degrees of consequence. The more closely individuals approximate authorities such as wealth and fame, the better is the treatment. Various religious organization claim direct transmission with a source of Consequential Integrity, such as God, and thus represents the ability to bestow it, through a chain of command, by baptism, confirmation, realization or grace.
