WORLD MORALS EDITION XXI
Do not gossip maliciously
Avoid spreading harmful, unnecessary, or unverified information.
Comparative atlas · Original English corpus · Evidence before conclusions
A mapping is not a verified quotation. Workbook labels are preserved. An absent mapping does not mean rejection. We do not rank the moral worth of any system.

Corpus definition
Avoid spreading harmful, unnecessary, or unverified information.
This is the atlas’s definition, not a substitute for a tradition’s own interpretation. Scope, exceptions and translations require review of each source.
Preserved calculation difference
The original index differs from recomputed unique-system or specific-anchor counts. Both are retained; the source file is unchanged.

Take reasonable steps to correct false information that harms persons or communities.
Keep confidences
Protect entrusted information unless disclosure is required to prevent serious harm.
