What is the ultimate kindness cycle?
(It states that if a society succeeds in attaining a specific combined successful respect level, then a cyclic cascade of kindness is eventually achieved.)
Now, to understand it, let us take an example of a society that has +ve respect level individuals along with a small (relatively) group of 0 respect level bearing individuals (but there must be an overwhelming number of worthful individuals). (The specific combined respect level is reached when the resources given away by the individuals with a positive respect level exceed the resources kept back by those with a respect level of zero, i.e. more resources flow into the passing chain than drop out of it; this is why the zero group must be relatively small.) (In practice, this level can be found by starting the same gifts in a few neighbourhoods with different numbers of Caretakers and watching which of them keep cycling; the neighbourhoods where the cycle keeps going show the threshold.)
What happens is that resources are being passed over and over with virtually no one to use them, thus causing kindness to dominate the society, with this passing procedure increasing trust at every level.
From Respect Is Not Costly, the Ingredients Are Universal.
The ultimate kindness cycle
The measure as written
The rule of RESPECT IS NOT COSTLY, THE INGREDIENTS ARE UNIVERSAL:
“An individual must give respect to other individuals according to their worth level, with the preference gradient being the core value.”
Under "Respect Value scale", two kinds of zero are given:
(Note that both the rebuked and the normal status have a respect value of zero, but for different reasons: the rebuked ones have a worth level of zero, while the normal ones have a positive worth level but a preference gradient of zero; hence the respect value alone does not separate them, and the worth level has to be looked at as well.)
and under "Preference Gradient for different domains", it places the negative participants at zero:
In the case of negative participants, PR is zero, i.e. a +ve value is not realistic, as they are occupied by excess desires, so they are increasing individual as well as societal burden.
Under "Theory of the ultimate kindness cycle", it states the theory:
(It states that if a society succeeds in attaining a specific combined successful respect level, then a cyclic cascade of kindness is eventually achieved.)
and gives its threshold and the measure:
