Introduction

Welcome to The EthiSizer Stories. 

A series of 195 (or so) short stories, about 195 (or so) countries of the world, and The EthiSizer.

...So what is: The EthiSizer ? 

A central computer, a global governor, an all-seeing AI, that united the 195 nations of earth into a Whole Earth Ethic. 

One planet, one people.

Can you imagine uniting 195 nations into just one single supranational entity?

(It's hard for a human to imagine more than around 3 things at once, so; no. You probably can't. That's why we puny humans needed a computer AI, to do it :)

But The EthiSizer was enabled by the science of Evolutionary Culturology, including the discovery of the Three Laws of fractal HOLON/partons. 

Systems, and units of culture are fractal HOLON/partons.

Thus, so are: atoms, molecules, cells, organs, organisms, families, companies, organizations, states, nations, and the Earth's biosphere. As those things are either systems or units of culture or both. (Yes, an atom, a molecule and a cell are each: a system.)  

All are governed by the Three Laws of fractal HOLON/partons.

...Enjoy! 

(One day I plan to publish all this, as a book.)
