Entitlement

In the recent era, entitlement is promulgated by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) which prescribes a common moral language of empathy and rule of law as ‘the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world’. Hence entitlement- in acquiescence that ‘all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights’ - represents the third generation campaign for a substantive and ‘equal outcomes’ implementation of universal rights.

Concurrent with the International Bill of Rights (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)) ratified by most nations in 1976, entitlement embodies the composite of philosophical, universal and social, economic and political rights. These rights bear compelling force of international jurisdiction and enforcement concerned with upholding dignity and justice for all. Today, the universal decree of entitlement substantively underwrites a renewed contemporary thesis of ‘social modernity’.

The Law of Rights

Predicated on trilateral axioms of ‘Entitlement’, the preconditions of entitlement are directly commensurate to a technical exposition of the ‘Law of Rights’ and the global mandate for universal rights. The Law of Rights is formally defined in terms of a general additive method as the summation and composite instantiation of natural law, international law and moral law which are determinative of proportionately corresponding enabling factors of entitlement (philosophical rights, universal rights and social, cultural and political rights).

Compared to religion based on prohibitions and responsibilities, entitlement embraces a modern day interpretation of the individual (citizen) as a subject of international society and beneficiary of protection and rights (public endowment) which is the responsibility of the municipal State. The Law of Rights, thereby emboldens an advanced state of global civil society grounded on the pre-formed ideology of liberal democracy and authoritative command of a pluralistic and individualistic social and political order. Concomitantly, the Law of Rights inherently binds a supranational realm in which nation States accede to international customs and norms via ratification and implementation of international laws enacted by the United Nations.

The Law of Rights may therefore be considered generally delimited by structural aspects of modernity that identify vulnerabilities and risks of global public policy.

• Vertical Relativism: entitlement may not be formally implemented unless by coercion of international agents and stakeholders

• Horizontal Relativism: entitlement is only as effectual as the capability and political will of the apparatus’ of the municipal State

Notwithstanding, the supervening consequence of the Law of Rights over the broad expanse of general principles of law goes further to the principle of justice rooted in rational order and the ‘very nature of man as a rational and social being’. The Law of Rights thus consolidates and engenders a most sovereign precept as to standards of public morality and international jurisprudence.

Coda of The Humanism Triangle

The trilateral edicts of the Humanism Triangle posit an ideal feature point (objective neutrality) or centroid of the triangulated Global Function Map. Psychometric centering of coordinates is conducted along the interior axis (nature versus nurture) which is then transected against the exterior axis (entitlement). The Humanism Triangle thus identifies the human person as a point-in-time cumulative composite of interior and exterior conditioning.

Contemporaneously, the methodology of the Humanism Indicator (HMN) invokes anthropocentric meta-analytic propensities of the metricisation devices.

• Projective Regularisation: the Humanism Triangle exhibits geometric regularity and is analytically 'superior' to Androgenic Regularisation

• Androgenic Regularisation: the Humanism Indicator (HMN) exhibits central tendency of the population set and is analytically 'inferior' to projective regularisation

Nonetheless, for all cases, the Humanism Indicator (HMN) is comprehensive to Inferential Statistics whereby both the Politico Metrics and the Latent Objects Mapping Function conform to mathematical analysis and Population Set computations specified as 'mathematical maxima'.

In this sense, the Humanism Indicator (HMN) distills to the reciprocal in which the political formulation manifests as a direct derivative of the population set formulation and vice versa.
