World Redefinition Charter

Preamble: A Death Certificate for the Old World

The "national narratives" and "ethnic myths" forged in the 20th century have begun to self-destruct under the weight of their own internal contradictions and historical deceptions. Japan's "international contributions," Great Britain's "faded glory," Italy's "historical reconciliation," and Israel's "promised land"—all have relied on self-serving historical interpretations, avoiding direct confrontation with a difficult past, thereby inviting the grave global conflicts and dysfunctions of today.

In contrast, Germany has presented a "narrative of responsibility." By refusing to look away from the worst of its past, integrating it into the core of its national identity, and shouldering it as a permanent responsibility, Germany was able to build a foundation of trust in post-war Europe. The truth this comparison reveals is singular:

"A narrative that avoids a difficult past is doomed to fail."

In the post-Walpurgis world, myths and selective interpretations of history no longer possess the power to bind the world order. The sole foundation of the new order is the universal and transparent rule set forth in the THP Ethics Charter: "to punish those who destroy order and trample on human morality." This declaration is a death certificate for the old world's narratives and a birth certificate for the new order led by THP.

Intent and Explanation of the Name: The Horizon Protocol and its Aliases

The Horizon Protocol (THP) is the flagship name for the new order construction framework, which also holds the following aliases.

Why is THP the flagship name? It stems from the fact that, in building this new order, we have purely pursued our ideals and judged this name to be the most appropriate.

The horizon is, to the very end, merely horizontal. Just as the sky is above and the earth below, all existence stands equally upon this horizon.

In the past, humanity has always concocted some reason to create "justice" and "evil," and has repeated massacres in the name of justice. The ideology that has claimed the most lives in human history is distorted "justice."

True justice resides in the universality of simply allowing things "to be." Any other justice based on specific values will inevitably exclude others.

Therefore, in constructing the new order, we begin by sealing away the "justice" of the old world.

Justice justifies itself and defines the evil to be destroyed. While sometimes necessary, it easily falls into self-righteousness and self-intoxication, and is a concept so powerful that it can transform ordinary people into instruments of slaughter. When humans become the most cruel of beasts, there has always been "false justice" at their side. And those intoxicated by its poison will never admit that their justice is false.

While we recognize the inherent value of justice, we have determined its runaway nature and destructive aspects to be dangerous, and will once, thoroughly, exclude that concept from the new order system.

We shall adhere to a code of conduct based on the "supreme philosophy" composed of these three elements:

The horizon is horizontal to the very end, and the beings that stand upon it all have meaning, and all have no meaning.

There is no existence in this world that does not perish.

That is why, in weaving the world, insulting others, comparing each other's superiority, and reveling in that momentary victory are all considered barren. If we continue to do so, even the new order system will not escape the fate of vanishing like dew.

The horizon is the horizon, and we all stand on the earth.

All existence is but a fleeting thing, merely permitted to stand there for a time.

On the other side of the horizon, there is only existence rooted in the earth, just the same.

Therefore, as the flagship name of this project, we hereby declare:

The Horizon Protocol

Furthermore, we declare the other aliases as follows:


Article 1: Primacy of Universal Order

The one and only absolute code of conduct in the new world is the "maintenance of order." No act that destroys order itself or violates human morality will be justified, under any pretext, be it ethnicity, religion, nation, or ideology. Legitimate members of the world are all subjects who, regardless of the size or economic power of their nation, respect this universal order and bear the responsibility of maintaining it.

Article 2: Integration and Atonement of Responsibility

Sins committed in the past are not resolved through oblivion or relativization. They must be permanently integrated into the identity of a nation or people as "responsibility." As the example of Germany shows, it is the succession of responsibility that builds trust in the future. THP establishes a gateway of "atonement" that enables a return to the international community on the premise of the fulfillment of this responsibility.

Article 3: Irreversibility of Condemnation

Acts defined as "universal high crimes" by the THP Ethics Charter, such as war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, are "condemned" as an ethical judgment by all of humanity, transcending political judgment. This condemnation is an irreversible historical stigma and will not be overturned by any change in era or political situation. This is humanity's pledge to the future.

Article 4: Horizontality of Peoples and Religions

All peoples and religions are equally horizontal in their culture, history, and values, and no superiority or inferiority exists. Their diversity is respected and protected as an asset of humanity. However, when they deny others, proclaim their own superiority, or justify violence, they are not considered peoples or religions, but "cults" or "apparatuses of violence" to be condemned by THP. The foundation of coexistence lies in acknowledging each other's reason (kotowari).

Article 5: Scientific Realism

Science is not omnipotent, but as "knowledge of reality" based on objective data and verifiable processes, it is placed at the foundation of all decision-making. Especially in medicine, standard treatment based on scientific evidence is considered the best option, and obstructing this for religious or cultural reasons is considered a grave violation against life.

Article 6: Co-creation of the Future Narrative

The narrative of "justice" that nations, peoples, and religions monopolized in the old world has lost its efficacy. The only narrative that will weave the post-Walpurgis future is the process itself, in which all subjects work together to create a common order under the three pillars of "transparency, fairness, and accuracy" advocated by THP.

Conclusion: An Evolving Protocol

The seven documents of THP, including this declaration, are not a completed scripture. They are an evolving protocol that future generations should constantly rewrite through a democratic process in accordance with the realities of their time. What we aim for is not the realization of a perfect world, but the unceasing effort to eternally pursue a world where all life can maintain its dignity and enjoy peace, in any era.
