Preface

Dear reader.

Reason is better than no-Reason.
Morality is objective.
When we act wrong, we fail. When we allow evil to happen, we fail. We are not perfect, but we can be better.
In any world where vulnerable beings interact and follow rational strategies, the only stable and coherent moral system is based on Moral Objectivity preventing harm on sentient vulnerable beings.
This argument binds even a God.

Abstract

Binding God: Why Objective Morality is the Only Way develops a formal argument for objective morality grounded not in cultural norms, metaphysical assumptions, or divine authority, but in the universal structure of sentient existence. The argument proceeds from a minimal and uncontroversial premise: all sentient beings are vulnerable to harm. From this fact, and from the public-reason constraints that define what counts as a moral claim, it is shown that any coherent moral system must account for vulnerability and cannot treat harm as morally irrelevant. A morality that ignores harm collapses into incoherence by failing to guide creatures whose agency depends on their ability to be harmed or helped. The paper demonstrates—through transcendental analysis, game-theoretic confirmation, and the rejection of rival frameworks—that the systematic prevention of unnecessary harm is the only possible objective foundation of morality. This leads to two inevitable principles: a negative constraint against inflicting unjustified harm, and a positive duty to reduce preventable suffering within the limits of rational agency. The result is a unified, non-arbitrary moral framework that applies to all sentient beings and clarifies the structure of rights, justice, responsibility, and moral progress. No alternative foundation survives universal scrutiny. The harm -minimizing system is not only normatively compelling—it is the only coherent morality possible.

Introduction

This work presents a formal proof that objective morality exists, and that it is uniquely grounded in the systematic prevention of unnecessary harm.
The argument is built from minimal assumptions —no metaphysics, no cultural values, no divine authority —only the existence of sentient beings and the requirements of ration...
