<b>Beyond Facts and Values:</b>Research Stack for the Dual-Order Framework

This work has been significantly expanded and updated. Please see the complete and most current version titled <b>‘The Dual-Order Framework: A Unified Scientific Model for Physical and Relational Resilience’ </b>here: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.30193060This research introduces the <b>Dual-Order Framework</b>, a unified model linking the physical laws of nature (<b>L_P</b>) with the relational principles that govern societal stability and flourishing (<b>L_R</b>).Building on centuries of debate surrounding <b>Hume’s Guillotine</b> and the <b>fact-value problem</b>, this framework proposes the <b>Covenant Law of Benevolence</b> as a universal probabilistic principle that operates alongside natural law.Using cross-cultural datasets such as the <b>World Values Survey</b>, <b>Transparency International CPI</b>, and <b>Political Terror Scale</b>, the framework defines measurable thresholds for trust, cooperation, and governance. It offers testable predictions — including a unique hypothesis of <b>nonlinear societal collapse</b> triggered by sustained relational breakdown, even when physical resources remain stable.For a reader-friendly introduction and context, see the full article:<br>Beyond Facts and Values: A New Approach to Solving the Is-Ought ProblemThis research is designed as a <b>baseline for interdisciplinary collaboration</b>, predictive modeling, and future academic inquiry.
