The consequence of pre-existent states or entities is greater than the human ability to create alternatives to them. All transformation and destruction, in terms of living things, and excepting human kind, is regulated by Necessity and Subsistence.

The term Morality is defined here to represent standards of human conduct, which derive from and become necessary, with the introduction of Excess and Profit. Excess is the creation of what is not essential and which is unnecessary to maintain conditions in a same or similar state. Profit is the addition and increase of volitional abilities, in excess of the energy, effort, time or risk, necessary to sustain and maintain what is necessary, in a same or similar standing. The day's work produces the necessary rent and food, but also money aside for a second car.

Excess and Profit requires material for its construction, which is the transformation or destruction of pre-existent conditions of the Given Existence, or already existing human created states. Prohibitions upon the transformation or destruction of any elements of the Given Existence, or any pre-existent state, would limit the utilization of material, for the progressive acquirement of Excess and Profit. The natural world, when not defined as a complete and finished result and product, may be considered to possess no inherent consequence in and of itself. The absence of inherent consequence concerning the planetary existence, allows for the unfettered development of Excess and Profit. What is sacrosanct must be protected by the invention of Morality as authority for activity and behavior. Morality is the creation of standards, to regulate human conduct, which become necessary to control the competition and destruction, which is allowed by the premise of the absence of inherent consequence.

When any phenomenon, entity or event is interpreted to possess no inherent value in and of itself, it may be defined as material for the creation of alternatives, wherein its value is obtained as raw material.
