- two things suffice to conduct me to the theoretic ground of an ethic:
      the phenomenon of a cosmic safehold and our concept of moral law

               cosmic safehold  + ‘moral law’ →  ethic

        : re `cosmic safehold` see ~/work/safehold/ : *The presence throughout the cosmos
          of a safehold fit for securing our long-term survival.*
        : re `moral law` see `^*Pearsall.+2003.+Oxford dictionary of English`s @ sources.brec :
         ‘(in some systems of ethics) an absolute principle defining the criteria of right action
          (whether conceived as a divine ordinance or a truth of reason)’
        : re `ethic` see doi:10.1093/OED/2656971922 : *Oxford English dictionary*, ‘ethic (n.),
          sense b,’ June 2026. : ‘A system or set of moral principles’.
        - the first evidences a source of morals, the second represents its conduit into society,
          and the two together yield under analysis the conditions of moral law
          that constitute the ground of an ethic
            : re `the first (.+ a source of morals)`
              see `^*- the phenomenon of the cosmic safehold ${same}$`
    - the phenomenon of the cosmic safehold evidences a source of morals
        - because what explains the presence of that safehold?
        - a survey of possible explanantia yields (among others) only two of moral bearing:

            • supernatural design by God
                : re `^*• (.+ design) .+` see `^^${same}$` @ ~/work/safehold/aetiology/text.brec
            • mundane design by cosmic creators
