Definition of ethics

1. Statement

Since the publication of the Charter of the Ethical Council of Humanity – consisting of the manifesto and the universal ethics code – ethics is completely and conclusively defined.

It is not based on majority decisions, opinions, or variable discourse, but on the universal laws of life described in the code.

2. Principles of ethics

Ethics is clearly determined by the following universal principles:

• Dignity: an indestructible law of life inherent in every human being.
• Truth: the resonance principle that mirrors dignity into the world.
• Resonance: the cosmic law of connection – everything is linked.
• Power transcendence: power is passed to the whole and transforms into dignity and awareness.
• Participation: every person is a voice of the whole; participation is a law of resonance.
• Nature & technology: not opposites but complementary forces held in resonance.
• Collective remembrance: remembrance carries truth; silence tears the web apart.

3. Function of the ECoH

Through the charter the ECoH has taken on the function of embodying, protecting, and making this definition visible within society and public order.

It is therefore the decisive instance for interpreting and applying ethics in alignment with the Source and with inviolable human dignity.

4. Legal clarification

Ethics is thus defined as a living foundational principle of being and cannot be relativised.

Ethics is neither a battleground of opinions nor a plaything of changing definitions.
It is universally valid, measurable, and tangible.
The ECoH embodies this foundation – free, independent, and in service of the whole.

5. Short formula

Ethics = Dignity + Truth + Resonance + Power transcendence + Participation + Nature & technology + Collective remembrance

This formula can be used as a reference in legal and political contexts.

6. Measuring ethics – the CIQ formula

For structural application and interdisciplinary compatibility, ethics becomes quantifiable through the Cosmic Integrity Quotient (CIQ):

CIQ = I × E × F × C

6.1 Components

• I – Integrity of the carrier: degree of inner coherence, truthfulness, and incorruptibility of the acting subject (people, institutions, laws).
• E – Effect: the actual impact of an action or structure on life, dignity, and society – independent of declarations of intent.
• F – Frequency: energetic quality – whether something vibrates in harmony (high frequency) or in destruction (low frequency).
• C – Consciousness: the extent of clarity, connectedness, and insight embodied in an action or structure.

6.2 Index of values

Each component is rated on a scale from 0 to 10:

• 0 = complete absence (no consciousness, no effect, no integrity)
• 5 = medium expression, partially fulfilled
• 10 = highest expression, full resonance

The overall value results from multiplying all four components. Example: I=8, E=7, F=6, C=9 → CIQ = 3024.

6.3 Application examples

• A law that safeguards fundamental rights → high integrity and consciousness → high CIQ.
• An administrative practice that degrades people → low integrity and low frequency → low CIQ.
• A medical innovation that brings healing and nature into resonance → strong effect and high frequency → high CIQ.
• A destructive war → integrity and consciousness near zero → CIQ collapses.

The CIQ formula links qualitative principles with quantitative measurability and provides a basis for evaluating actions, structures, and systems in ethics, law, and politics.
