Appendix II: The Normative Dimension in the Complementary Project

Introduction

The normative dimension in the Complementary Project forms the cornerstone of its comprehensive civilizational vision. It is based on existential rights, which are a cosmic manifestation of the formative conditions designed to empower humans to fulfill their existential mission. These rights are not mere social or political agreements; rather, they reflect the cosmic wisdom that governs human relationships with their surroundings, ensuring balance and justice in existence.

1. Existential Rights as a Normative Framework

Definition of Existential Rights:

• Existential rights are derived from the observation of cosmic wisdom, which reveals a universe designed to enable humans to fulfill their role as beings with existential value.
• These rights serve as a normative framework outlining the conditions necessary for individuals to achieve self-realization and harmony with their surroundings.

Function of Existential Rights:

• Ensure the conditions necessary for humans to perform their roles effectively within the cosmic system.
• Provide a stable normative framework to guide individuals and communities in building just and sustainable systems.
• Direct human relationships toward balancing individual rights and collective responsibilities.

2. Characteristics of Existential Rights

Universality:

• Existential rights apply to all humans, regardless of their cultures, religions, or affiliations.

Obligatoriness:

• These rights are essential for achieving justice and stability and cannot be ignored.

Absoluteness:

• Rooted in cosmic wisdom, these rights are unchangeable and immune to manipulation.

Transcendence of Relativity:

• Unlike conventional rights, existential rights are constant because they reflect a permanent cosmic order.

3. Differences Between Existential and Conventional Rights

Conventional Rights:

• Based on social and political agreements.
• Subject to change and influenced by political and economic interests.
• Relative and vary from one society to another.

Existential Rights:

• Derived from cosmic wisdom, making them universal and absolute.
• Provide a non-negotiable foundation for protecting humanity and maintaining cosmic balance.
• Aim to safeguard humans and promote cosmic harmony.

4. Application of Existential Rights in the Complementary Project

In Foundational Engineering:

• Existential rights serve as a normative framework for designing political, social, and economic systems.
• They ensure the construction of systems that achieve long-term justice and sustainability.

In Social Structures:

• Guarantee equitable resource distribution while protecting cultural diversity.
• Balance individual rights with responsibilities toward the community.

In Economic Policies:

• Develop models that promote distributive justice and sustainability.
• Limit resource exploitation to protect the rights of both current and future generations.

In Political Legislation:

• Adopt existential rights as a foundation for political legitimacy.
• Protect individuals from infringements on their freedoms and dignity.

5. Importance of Existential Rights

As a Global Standard:

• Provide a shared language to build bridges between different cultures and societies.

As a Guarantee of Justice and Sustainability:

• Strengthen social justice and economic and environmental sustainability.

As a Tool for Rebuilding Civilization:

• Redefine social and political systems based on principles that transcend the crises of materialistic frameworks.

Conclusion

Existential rights are the backbone of the normative dimension in the Complementary Project. They reflect the cosmic wisdom designed to harmonize humans with the universe. By establishing these rights as a comprehensive normative framework, the Complementary Project offers a new vision for developing social, political, and economic systems that achieve justice, sustainability, and human dignity.
