== Rules ==

=== Game-theoretic rules ===
<ol class="hue clean terse  field_exstruct">

{{li|start=y|I=S2/PT|Q=618|Q2=618|h4= iron rule }} / Do unto others before they do unto you / Do unto others to prevent them from doing harm unto you (game theory, Toryism, Gramscianism) / third law of robotics: a robot should protect itself from harm (science fiction; generic) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics]

{{li|I=S2/W|Q=618|Q2=618|h4= lead rule }} / Do unto others {{em|as}} they would do unto you (literal) / Do unto others as they would like to do unto you (game theory, Toryism, Gramscianism) / Do unto others as they have done to others / Do unto others as others have done unto you / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/LR|Q=618|h4= uranium rule }} / Do unto others as upper classes should do unto you / Don't do what you would not want uniquely privileged upper-class people to do (uranium inverse) / Do not what will filter up / Do not unto others as upper classes should not do unto you (game theory, Liberal-republicanism) / [[E:Stupidity filters up|Stupidity filters up]] (existential materialism; generic) / {{nickel|YT/CynicalArtKillingHope26|Cynical art is killing hope}} / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q618-UraniumRule|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/DX|Q=618|h4= americium rule }} / Do unto others as lower classes should do unto you / Do not what will filter down (americium inverse) / Don't do in an upper class or position of authority what you don't want common people to do (game theory, Deng Xiaoping Thought) / Do not unto others as lower classes should not do unto you / sword of Damocles (generic) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Damocles] / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q618-UraniumRule|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/DX|Q=618|Q2=618|h4= hydrogen rule }} / Do unto other countries as other countries should do unto you / Do not do what you do not want other sovereign countries to do (game theory, Deng Xiaoping Thought)  ->  countries are sometimes but not always separated by water, as with Japan, the Korean peninsula, or England and France. water contains hydrogen ions.<br/>
the PRC actually follows this rule day-to-day while the United States doesn't. it's actually a rather big idea in Deng Xiaoping Thought to try to get other countries to stop doing what they're doing through non-aggression.

{{li|I=S2/LR|Q=618|Q2=618|h4= palladium rule }} / Do unto others what you would have them do when you are in their position / Treat others as you would in the knowledge that you could one day be them / [[E:Give Jesus your coat|Give Jesus your coat]] (generic) / individual veil of ignorance / veil of ignorance (John Rawls; generic) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position] / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/LLM/ES|Q=618|Q2=618|h4= silicon rule }} / Do not put into a computer system what you do not want an {{abbr|AI|title=artificial intelligence}} repeating or acting on / uranium rule (sub-case applying to powerful owners of cutting-edge LLM corporations) / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q618-UraniumRule|9k]])

</li></ol>

=== Descriptive rules ===
<ol class="hue clean">

{{li|start=y|I=S2/MX|Q=618|h4= nickel rule }} / Anything done once accumulates / Anything that happens once accumulates / All Ideals reach extremes / Every Ideal reaches its extreme / Every Ideal reaches its extreme in some person or situation if it is practiced at all / Murphy's law (generic) / Anything not done once does not accumulate (nickel inverse) / Every Ideal not practiced does not reach its extreme (nickel inverse) / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q618-CobaltRule|9k]])<br/>
nickel rule + ?? = golden rule.

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618|h4= cobalt rule }} / Anything chosen once accumulates / All choices reach extremes / Every opinion, preference, or deliberate action reaches its extreme in somebody if it is practiced at all / Anything never chosen does not accumulate (cobalt inverse) / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q618-CobaltRule|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618|h4= neodymium rule }} / Social costs flip over / Social contracts are double-edged / Impose cultural standards onto others only when you are willing to endure periods of those standards having no effect and completely different and objectionable standards actually and constantly being imposed onto you / Prescribe mandatory cultural standards on others, and they will prescribe mandatory cultural standards on you /<br/>
Whenever anyone attempts to assert that other people are subject to a particular moral prescription, those two groups of people that may have been separate before snap together like a somewhat strong magnet, and from then on, they share a double-edged social contract in which either pole of the relationship can assert any set of moral standards at any level of brutality and any "standards of what is right" or "social costs" levied from one pole to the other will be equally valid coming from either pole  -><br/>
this one appeared in {{book|MDem}} 4.3 drafts but I was having a really hard time articulating it through the right language and the right framework until now. I fumbled around with 'comparing Liberal republics to Stalin's government' and it came out really muddy, but what I was really getting at was the concept that the processes of any republic actually start at very small scales nearly as small as the golden rule. this wiki and the concept of taking familiar or popular concepts and drawing graph connections from them to other things has helped immensely in terms of slowly editing the book and making it actually comprehensible outside my head

</li></ol>

=== Metaphysical rules ===
<ol class="hue clean">

{{li|start=y|I=S2/MX/IV|tradition=MX onto IV|Q=618|Q2=618}}livermorium rule / Judge the moral valence of ideologies that have not been realized by their best possible result that is {{em|plausible}} to happen if they ever {{em|had been}} realized into a stable historical period / Promote or attempt what may be possible when others should do it if it is possible / Do not promote what may be possible when others should not do it if it is possible (livermorium inverse) / Do not do what it would be {{em|possible}} that others should not do unto you  ->  this is verging on deontology but it doesn't quite go there because it doesn't focus on {{em|desired}} results specifically and instead tries to sketch out a plausible real situation so the consequences can be judged through the range of various forms of ethics that exist for real situations.

{{li|I=S2/MX/A|Q=618|Q2=618}}livermorium rule  ->  this rule doesn't actually cover what you should do when the thing stated to be possible is in fact impossible and there are consequences to falsely believing it is possible; it only really covers the situation where the thing stated to be possible actually is possible but you don't know it is. so... despite how I named it it might actually be charcoal rather than orange

</li></ol>

=== Prescriptive rules ===
<ol class="hue clean">

{{li|start=y|I=S2/PT|Q=618|Q2=618}}thallium rule / Submit all actions to God / Yield your and others' actions to God / Whatever God tells you to do you everyone has to do instead of what anyone wants / No, sir, I can't imagine a soft pretzel without butter; I certainly wouldn't serve you one / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/ES|Q=618|Q2=618}}golden rule / Treat others as you would treat yourself / Do unto others as you would have them do unto you / Love thy neighbor as thyself (statement that may explicitly only extend to people in the same population; Christian Old Testament) / We should conduct ourselves toward others as we would have them act toward us (Aristotle) / Do not do unto others as they should not do unto you (golden inverse) / We shouldn't do to anyone what we wouldn't want done to us / the whole Torah (description of Torah as summarized by inverse golden rule) / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/ES|Q=618|Q2=618}}silver rule (golden inverse) / Do not treat others as you would not treat yourself / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/ES|Q=618|Q2=618}}bronze rule (golden converse) / Others' actions for yourself / Treat yourself as you would treat others / Do unto you as you do unto others / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])

{{li|I=S2/A|Q=618|Q2=618}}platinum rule / Treat others as they would like to be treated / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])<br/>
cultural relativism proposition + ?? = platinum rule. platinum rule + ?? = cultural relativism proposition.

{{li|I=S2/ES/A|Q=36,67|Q2=36,67}}xenon rule / Do what others would "unto" / Produce the actions of how others would like to be treated, regardless of the existence of "you" / Act as others would / Do not what others would not "unto" (xenon inverse) / Do not unto others what they would not decide / Do not what others would not normally-see-happen-as-a-spontaneous-event-unto-them / Do not bring on others a way they would not like to be treated, regardless of the existence of "you" / Do not act as others would not act in your place / Nothing should be done unless others consider it wonderful / Nothing should be done unless everyone considers it wonderful / ([[User:RD/9k/Q36,67|Q36,67]])

{{li|I=S2/MX/IV|Q=618|Q2=618}}steel rule / Stalin repeats your actions / Stalin mirrors your actions / Do what Stalin should do (steel inverse) / Do not do what you would not want Stalin to do / Do not have rules or policies in government or socioeconomic institutions that you would not want Stalin's government to have (ethics) / The United States was justified to win the Cold war because it was nothing like Stalin's government (sense)  -><br/>
I was always implicitly told before about the age of 18 that the United States won the Cold War because it followed this steel rule. but as I got older and saw how often it was broken I realized that that statement was almost totally false.<br/>
Others' actions for yourself (bronze rule) + [[EC:9k/RD/Q28,84|thing that would sound different coming out of Stalin's government]] = steel rule.<br/>
Do not do what you do not want other sovereign countries to do + Soviet Union / East Germany / People's republic of China = steel rule.

{{li|I=S2/MX/ES|Q=618}}lanthanum rule / {{abbr|Patronize|title=Be a customer to}} others as yourself / Buy unto others as you would have others buy unto you / Encourage others to consume freshly-created products at maximum retail price in order to socialize and be part of society, and others will encourage people to buy your freshly-created products or support your freshly-created tiny business territory  ->  the metallic rule that creates consumerism {{i|per se}} / [[EC:9k/RD/Q618-MysteryBoxConsumerism|material consumerism]].<br/>
named in reference to lanthanum being used in the production of new cell phones every few years to smooth out screens.

== Defining metallic rules ==
<ol class="hue clean">

{{li|start=y|I=S1/ES|Q=618}}metallic rule / ([[EC:9k/RD/Q50,98|9k]])
{{li|I=S1/MX|Q=618}}metallic rule rules (sense)  ->  the rules that define metallic rules.

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}For a metallic rule to occur, two or more individuals must do the same behavior, or the same behavior with only small variations in its form, and they must initiate the behavior separately rather than simultaneously

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}For a metallic rule to occur, there must be a causal relationship that either is claimed to have previously existed between multiple individuals separately doing the same behavior, or that forms during or after two or more individuals do the same behavior  ->  this is a somewhat more expansive definition than the one you'll typically find inside the attested metallic rules you see "in the wild". but I think it better fits with the concept of historical events.

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}Golden rules are arborescent (graph theory) / A prototypical metallic rule is arborescent — it asserts a chain of behavior resembling a directed graph that begins from some arbitrary root / A prototypical metallic rule asserts that a particular type of behavior can be caused to happen in other people by modeling the behavior / A prototypical metallic rule asserts that each generation of actions by one particular person causes the next generation of actions by other people; it implies that behaviors propagate throughout a population as waves of dependent events  ->  the word "arborescent" is weirdly funny to me now after learning about Deleuze and Guattari because I now always imagine somebody treating "arborescent" as almost a dirty word or a thing that's Evil. I wonder what those two would think if you told them this

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}A "base" metallic rule (non-traditional metallic rule) only needs to assert that current generations of actions {{em|come from}} past generations of actions by other people, but does not need to assert that current actions are specifically done to produce future generations of actions by other people  ->  the purpose of rules like the iron rule and lead rule would actually be to descriptively model people's behavior after particular kinds of events rather than prescribe desirable actions.

{{li|I=S2/MX|Q=618}}A non-traditional metallic rule may assert that the behavior that repeats occurs as an independent event rather than as a dependent event

{{li|I=S0/MX|Q=618}}duplexing (meta-Marxism)  ->  duplexing is the operation of taking one particular model of something and copying it so that two separate, different instances of the same thing are operating in parallel and interacting with each other. say we have psychoanalysis as the model of a mind. when we duplex psychoanalysis, there are two minds operating independently, each of them [[E:Lacanian discipline|receiving models of society]] from their father and their sister and their teacher. if each individual has a drastically different father and teacher, not to mention a different personality, when the two people meet each other they're each inevitably going to tell each other their model of the world is the only right one, and get into a fight. Lacanian discipline doesn't sound so good now, does it? now let's say we take Stalin's Marxism and duplex it. two different countries unite the proletariat and form Marxist parties and become workers' states. however, if the two countries have totally different ideas of what is in favor of the proletariat in any particular country, each country's party will become incapable of contributing to freeing the world proletariat. if the two countries somehow each guess what the other wants and is going to do and try to adjust their plans toward each other, they both might have better chances.

{{li|I=S1/ES|Q=618}}metallic rules and prisoner's dilemma  ->  it's super easy for people to present metallic rules as the false solution to this but the problem is they don't actually give any control over the other person's decisions, which is to say whether the other person will follow the metallic rules in the first place. the prisoner's dilemma is still in place.

{{li|I=Z1/STM|Q=13,032|Q2=13032}}germanium  ->  found in "silver, lead, and copper ores". this weirdly suggests the content of a possible germanium rule already. silver rule: golden inverse. copper rule: either defined as iron rule or platinum rule.<br/>
silver rule: Do not unto others as they should not do unto you. platinum rule: Do (not) unto others as they would (not) have you do unto them; others do (not) do unto you as you would (not) have them do. iron rule, lead rule: Do unto others before they do unto you.<br/>
the silver rule is the conceptual opposite of the iron rule. maybe... this is the "bad" counterpart to the platinum rule? Do unto others whatever they expect you to do to them. man, that's one of the worst ones, that's a candidate for a halogen rule. I feel like germanium should be something at least somewhat interesting, like silicon.

{{li|I=S2/MX/IV|tradition=MX onto IV|Q=47,79|Q2=4779}}Trotskyism is like livermorium: it's really big, but it falls apart and disappears immediately before it can even be observed
