WORLD MORALS EDITION XXI
Minimize avoidable harm in public reporting
Balance the public's need for information against foreseeable and unnecessary injury.
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
Balance the public's need for information against foreseeable and unnecessary injury.
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.

Explore connections in the same category
Shared systems in the corpus, not evidence of historical influence.
Be accountable and transparent about reporting
Explain decisions, correct errors promptly, and provide channels for legitimate criticism.
Protect vulnerable sources
Use heightened care with children, victims, confidential sources, and persons facing retaliation.
