Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...
Forms (laws, theories) have triple mode of existence; they exist in the Divine Mind as ideas, and are the archetypes of creation; they exist as embodied in "instances" or examples, in which mode they are laws; they exist, lastly, in the human mind as ideas; thus they precede creation, they are in it, they succeed it.
William Thomson, Archbishop of York (1819-1890)
Taken from his 1842 book An Outline of the Necessary Laws of Thought: A Treatise on Pure and Applied Logic, the statement indicates three modes, yet one implied albeit paramount; preexistence then persistence of principle.
To expected of course the following retort. What principle? He speaks of mode or process. However, the logical counter would be the reiteration of the same mode(s) or process(es) as the very basis of principle if not morality or ethic. Accordingly it has been numerously, variously agued in this and last two books, the mere existence of the peculiar human ability of reason demands an ethical consideration and posture, while the significant distinction among all other species by the same human peculiarity demands a moral outcry if intervened, interfered, imposed, interrupted, inhibited, intruded or invaded.
If observably, logically, consistently accepted the peculiar human ability to reason as undeniable, unavoidable indication towards a singular principle fundamental, moral, ethical, it greatly challenges the common view hence preference for such in plural forms; lists of moralities, bills of rights, tablets of commandments, volumes of ethics, books of admonitions/proverbs, and other inconsistencies thus complexities. For the aforesaid common view hence preference have historically facilitated innumerable depravities therefore atrocities, monstrosities, inhumanities levied upon the singular human right to consent or dissent on all matters, as manifested per the peculiar human ability to reason.
The same facilitation prevails today for the perceived good intention or imagined common good hobbles the discernment, befuddles the judgment, misdirects the conclusion while enlivens the self-righteousness.

Upon the lush emerald hill she lays, then oddly
slumbers in saunters
Ponders `tween maunders, liken ancient sages amid
tombs and altars
O the mysteries as Love’s epistles and individuals’
logical passions
Numerous while exclusive to each and every person’s
sacred bastion
Worsened the naked intuition, the erroneous, excessive
propensities
Ah the sinful originalities (ergo hinted the skint among
the polities)
So go the spark off flint upon stone, the flame `low muck
and mire
Hardening to fuckin’ pride, hoisted thereon society’s
arrogant spire
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
