Argument Library

The substrate is stable at v3.9.15 — staked, not pending; each revision sharpens the work rather than reopening it. The deferral this section once held is spent: nothing here waits on a proof still to come, and nothing here is provisional.

The extract, plainly

The library catalogues how people argue against the claim that it is better never to have been — every objection treated as a live move someone actually makes, not a strawman, traced to the mechanism that carries it and grounded in deployments observed in the wild. It does not argue back in order to win; it maps the terrain and grades how well each rebuttal actually holds, weak ones included, in the open. The coda is the part that does not pretend: the suffering-priority floor is not derived from anything more basic, and the coda says so outright — it states the axiom as a stake rather than a proof, then asks why the demand to justify it always falls on the one who would spare a life and never on the one who imposes one.

One click

The taxonomy and the force-directed Map 1, the attested real-world deployments, and the coda are all live at library.wuld.ink — single file, no build step, works offline. Read the objections until they feel familiar; read the coda after; then return to the objections changed.
