Glossary of Superjectivism

Definitions of core terms used throughout the philosophy of Superjectivism: metaphysics, conscientology, and beyond.

A. Core Framework

Superjectivism: The philosophical system that treats persons as primary reality: God, states and human beings as superjects projecting echoes into objects and other persons.
Person: God, a state, or any living human organism from conception to death. Identical twins, chimeras and braindead humans are all persons.
Superject: A person who originates an echo – the single source of a specific act of will in a given situation.
Subject: A person who is on the receiving or affected side of a superject’s echo in a given interaction.
Object: Non-personal reality: animals, AI, tools, landscapes, matter, technology, companies and other non-person entities.
Echo: A single-origin blow of will into reality: the concrete pattern of influence a superject projects over objects and subjects. Echoes have single ownership.

B. God and States

God: The maximal superject: the triune Christian God, one God in three coeternal, consubstantial divine persons (Father, Son, Spirit) whose will defines the deterministic structure of reality.
Divine persons: The three distinct centres of consciousness and will within God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are of one nature and act in perfect harmony.
State: A person in its own right, not a group mind. Each state has a body, soul and spirit and stands in contractual relation to its citizens, who are separate human persons.
Body (state): The state’s territory, physical infrastructure and non-personal resources under its control. The population is not part of the state body; citizens are independent persons.
Soul (state): The state’s constitution and foundational law: the stable structure of its values and rules.
Spirit (state): The government acting in an official capacity: emperor, mayors, ministers and other organs that implement the constitution.
State identity: A state remains the same person as long as its constitutional order and identity persist. A full revolution with a new constitution and name marks the death of one state-person and the birth of another.

C. Human Anatomy (Metaphysical)

Body (human): The living human organism: brain, nervous system, senses and biological substrate. Personal identity over time is anchored in the continuity of this organism.
Soul (human): The “library” of a person’s inner content: knowledge, emotions, goals and value hierarchies.
Spirit (human): The decision-maker of the person. It has the faculties of rationality, lucidity and compatibilist free will and runs the thought → choice → action pipeline.
Thought → choice → action: The basic pipeline of the spirit: thoughts arise or are formed, evaluated against values and emotions; a choice is made; an action is taken through the body, projecting an echo into reality.

D. Conscientology & Inner Life

Conscientology: The branch of Superjectivism that studies the inner architecture of persons: epistemology, philosophy of emotions and philosophy of will – essentially the anatomy and function of the soul and spirit.
Knowledge: Content in the soul that accurately corresponds to objective reality. Built through perception and reasoning; should stay consistent with established science.
Value hierarchy: The internal ranking of values in a person’s soul. Some values are higher than others; sacrificing higher for lower is seen as a loss.
Natural values: Values that, under lucidity, a person recognises as genuinely theirs. Acting according to one’s natural value hierarchy is metaphysically good.
Imposed values: Values a person has picked up from stronger echoes (family, state, culture) without true endorsement at the level of spirit. Acting on imposed values against natural ones is self-betrayal and metaphysically evil.
Lucidity: The spirit’s faculty for seeing clearly what is known and unknown, which values are natural or imposed, and whether one is acting as a true superject or merely extending someone else’s will.
Emotion: A mode of evaluation that shapes how the spirit weighs possible actions. Emotions can be helpful or harmful to a person’s values and can be managed or deliberately modulated.
Emotional engineering: The deliberate act of inducing or modifying emotions (for example, making oneself angry before a fight or calm before a difficult decision) to better serve one’s values and goals.
Free will (compatibilist): In Superjectivism, the world is deterministic in a Calvinist sense; given total circumstances, choices are fixed. Free will means acting from one’s own values and spirit, not being a puppet of external echoes.
Strong spirit: A spirit with a clear value hierarchy, strong lucidity, and good emotional management. It can resist foreign echoes and keep itself spiritually intact, even at high cost.
Weak spirit: A spirit easily dominated by stronger wills and unmanaged emotions. It frequently acts against its own values, even when sensing the contradiction.

E. Actions, Good and Evil (Metaphysical Sense)

Metaphysical good (for a person): Acting in accordance with one’s own natural value hierarchy, with lucidity – even if others disagree with those values.
Metaphysical evil (for a person): Consciously acting against one’s own natural value hierarchy (self-betrayal), for example obeying imposed values you recognise as foreign.
Historical justification: In a clash of echoes, the echo that wins “decides” the shape of reality. Winning is historically justified in that sense, even if the action was metaphysically good or evil relative to the actor’s values.
Spiritually intact: A state where a person has not betrayed their core values and maintains internal coherence. In Superjectivism, death with values intact is preferable to living with a broken spirit.
