Origin of Government

Thesis: Most governments exist on a Moral Order. The purpose of government is to embrace and protect the individual's Unalienable Rights (“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”) from the crimes of others and from the crimes of government; no more, no less.Morality is an outgrowth from life's Unalienable Rights, which is an outgrowth of the Constructal Law, which is an outgrowth of the Laws of Thermodynamics; part of the physical Laws of Nature, not man-made. http://www.amazon.com...http://www.amazon.com...Shortly after the Big Bang the Laws of Thermodynamics started the evolution of the universe. The First Law of thermodynamics, which gives a relationship between changes in energy, volume, temperature, and pressure for expansion. Symbolically, the law can be stated as: dE + PdV = TdS, where the symbols of said equation are found in the following link: http://www.scienceandreason.net...The Second Law of thermodynamics, in part, governs the direction of flow. That is, flow moves from high to low temperatures, flow moves from high to low pressures, the flow from high to low resistance for electrons; throughout nature, symmetries are found in: the flow from high to low elevation for water, the flow of life taking a path from high to low resistance in the pursuit for food, etc.The Constructal Law states: Given freedom, for a finite-sized flow system to persist in time (to live), its configuration must evolve in such a way that provides easier access to the currents that flow through it.The Constructal Law governs evolution in physics, biology, technology, and social organizations. This Law explains how everything that moves--whether animate or inanimate--naturally evolve in ways that facilitate such movement in the study of flow dynamics. Flow analysis is rich in “scientific models” in many fields when studying the motion and currents of flow relative to resistance. Flow at the biological level, is a manifestation of life's primitive working function or bio-program which maintains, once alive, “Life” must have the freedom (“Liberty”) of flow or movement, in “the pursuit (energy to overcome resistance) of ” survival; otherwise, there is no life. Since we have life, survival is a form of positive-feedback the mechanism of adaptation, procreation, “Happiness” for us humans, etc. Hence, Thomas Jefferson's celebrated polished version of this bio-program, which he labeled Unalienable Rights of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Life's Unalienable Rights is a dynamic interface with nature or a bio-program, where all “Life” has a craving to sustain, improve and prolong itself, with the desire to increase freedom (“Liberty”), while decreasing the energy (taking the path of least resistance) in “the pursuit of ” an objective, and in the process, exploring new levels of positive-feedback (“Happiness” for us humans). This bio-program is the foundation for the “Natural Selection” process; the machinery of evolution for life, social systems, technology, free-markets, etc.The mutual interaction of Unalienable Rights give rise to a moral order and is found throughout many species. For example, the subtle nonverbal communication between a parent and infant is miraculous, and it flows through life's Unalienable Rights in harmonious inter-species symmetry. This symmetry is apparent when we hear the cries from the screeching chirps within a nest, to the whimpering pups in a den, to the cries of a human infant along with the feelings those sounds evoke; the sounds throughout the tree of life. In many species, a newborn cries instinctively, elevating its cry to a scream when something is wrong--such as hunger triggered by the genetically programmed need to pursue food. Among humans, the parent is instinctively annoyed or alarmed by this cry and, in distress, tries to seek mutual Happiness by catering to the infant's desires. In contrast, there is something quite pleasant about the sight of a smiling infant, as it naturally invites the sharing of Happiness. The behavioral difference between a smile and a cry are the tenets of right and wrong, the primitives of Morality.The Absolute Values of morality is Right (moral, positive-feedback, “Happiness”) or Wrong (immoral, negative-feedback, unhappiness). The objective of morality is doing Right keeping a group alive. That is, when two or more humans form a group, the group becomes alive. The life of the group is sustained through goodwill and kindness leads to a mutual moral respect for embracing the Unalienable Rights (“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”) of the members within the group. Goodwill is a Conservative force that promotes order, stability, and harmony through the pursuit of group-wide positive-feedback. Over time, group-wide positive-feedback is the genesis of traditions, social values, beliefs, language, etc., the norms of society. These norms are tried and tested, and conservatively pass down from one generation to the next establishing its culture. A moral order guides an individual in the prudent exercise of judgment relative to those norms, going with the social flow minimizing civil resistance. The individual in a civil society strives, albeit imperfectly, to be virtuous; that is, restrained, ethical, and honorable, respecting and embracing the Unalienable Rights of others relative to those tested norms.The empirical evidence of the diversity of language, beliefs, and social norms throughout history and today demonstrates the universal absolute moral thread that runs through the tapestry of humanity in the evolution of civil societies. In addition, mutual positive-feedback, in group creation, is found throughout the spectrum of life in the beneficial formation in schools of fish, flocks of birds, packs of wolves, tribes of humans, etc, many groups having some form of “pecking order” forming social hierarchies. Also, such positive-feedback in group formation is found in inter-species relationships, such as those between humans and their pets. Therefore, all groups are governed by morality; otherwise, immorality becomes the group's demise. Relative to tribes of humans, throughout the ages, maintains a rich spectrum of governance evolution blossoming from social hierarchies, often in bloody trial and error, in search of a road to utopia. Perhaps, a road was found when Unalienable Rights became the foundation to governance. In the case of the US Constitutional design, based on Unalienable Rights, sparked a social experiment within a short period of 200-years, changed the world like no other society in recorded history, through the evolutionary fruits of technology, food production, and medicine, the stables of human existence throughout the world today. A compelling example of what happens when our Unalienable Rights are free to flow, having minimal resistance, within the awesome machinery of nature. Conclusion: It all started at the beginning of time, Governed by the fixed matrix of the Laws of Nature, creating patterns of hierarchical symmetries from the morphing of flow systems (inanimate and animate) seeking the path of least resistance, evolving to the experience of positive-feedback throughout life, eventually forming social systems; hence, the “Origin of Government.”
