    break point, tasks to the moral break point:
        - [in justified credence for a divine or God-like cosmic creator] our concept of morality
          [here] intersects with an echo|likeness of the era that *fixed* it as a concept
            : see https://gemini.google.com/app/05dd74acc92a92e4 : (2026-10-2) ‘From that last time
              in which ‘moral principles were anchored’ and debate confined to an ‘accepted framework’
              … what does our present concept of morality take?  Is it not informed by that past
              ‘monolithic consensus’ and moreover anchored/fixed in form as befits a concept?’
        + enter the possibility of a moral source
        + enter the possibility of moral law
      \ + conclude that the safehold is the designed work of a cosmic creator
        + raise the moral-breaking problem
            • no moral law (from the design explanantia) is inferable
                ∵ no principle (by a design explanans) is determined
                    ∵ the motive reason in both design explanantia is indeterminate
                    ∵ no command/principle to employ the safehold is inferable
                        ∵ it may have been given merely as a means, subject to prudence
                            / see for instance how it figures as a means in the coincidence of (6)
                ∵ (case of mundane design) no principle qua absolute is inferable
                    ∵ possibly ∃ a (cosmos or other) context wherein the principle is not obligatory
                        ∵ the scope of obligation/command is not universal
                            : see `^*admit.+a qualification of scope.+re the case of mundane creators` @

                            ∵ the scope of creation/design is not universal
    conclusion, tasks to the moral conclusion:
        + enter rebasing (wholly or partly) on a truth of reason/logic
            - as a recourse in response to the moral-breaking problem
                : re `moral-breaking problem` see `^*\+ raise the ${same}$`
            - either to backstop the command-based explication|interpretation of moral law against
              its shortcomings, or replace it entirely with logic-based explication|interpretation
            : cf. `^*employ\+ this \*truth of.+reason/logic\* grounding of moral law` @
              02.wrong_rhetoric/._/text.notes.brec
        + argue for (as a truth of logic) a stable ground of maintenance re practical logic
            ∵ for the operation of a stable ground, only maintenance would make sense
                ∵ a finalizable operation would be absurd
                    / elsewhere I’ve quoted ‘break out the booze and have a ball’ in parody of it
            ∵ as the object of that maintenance, the exercise of practical logic is indicated
                ∵ natural selection maintains it
                    ∵ natural selection inherently maintains itself
                    ∵ natural selection inherently is an (instance of the) exercise of practical logic
                        : see `^*\? maybe.+just.+that practical logic inheres in it\?$` @

                ∵ pursuit of the default ground would indicate by example and demonstration both:
                        • the maintenance of such an exercise (of practical logic) via reasoning
                            ∵ pursuit of the default ground would be, in itself,
                              an (instance of the) exercise (via reasoning) of practical logic
                        • the underpinning of that maintenance by a truth
                          of (or at least involving) practical logic
                            / namely that on which (inference of) the default ground rests

                      ../default/._/text.notes.brec
        + infer by analysis of (the concept of) moral law its conditions
        for( each condition of moral law )
            + argue for it being met
            ?+ what formula for the principle?
                | (in a context of reason) one of (maintaining) a rational will
                    : ad `rational will` : one either directed to a ground
                      or (if and where possible) undirected
                    / cf. Kant’s ‘good will’
                    = the most basic of principles that are proper to reason (the power of mind)
                        : ad `proper to reason` : though not to logic, owing to the involvement of will
        + conclude that a moral law is in force|effect
