Definition

Regime-scaled universality is RB3’s relocation of universalization toward whether a constraint architecture can become a shared environment without undermining viability, plurality and correction. It retains the act scale while assessing propagated institutional effects. The proposal preserves both design and urgent triage modes without treating inward consistency, existing rule compliance or speculative aggregate benefit as sufficient ethical authorization.

Explanation

The source interprets Kant’s false-promise example as already concerning the enabling conditions of a practice: normalizing deception can destroy promising itself. The author extends this test to infrastructures, platforms and technical ensembles. The entry records that reconstruction rather than pretending Kant directly formulated the complete contemporary regime-based account.

In design mode the question is whether an architecture remains habitable when generalized; under urgency it concerns what an intervention normalizes. Spillovers, slower costs, irreversible inscriptions and captured correction make the world-scale inquiry necessary. These questions do not provide a single quantitative algorithm or make the affected participants interchangeable.

The book joins action, design and method rather than allowing any one to replace the others. PB separately says bindingness is not a theorem and calls its regime formalization an unverified sketch. The proposed entry therefore preserves a philosophical ethical demand without certifying the formal model or inferring author approval of its editorial wording.

Scope and attribution

Preserve the author’s Kantian reconstruction, act/design/triage scopes and the distinction between normative commitment and formal proof.
