The First Rational Structure in the LUMEN Protocol

🌍 Proposition sentence :

Humanity should increase its investment in space exploration rather than increasing its military budget, because the continued increase in the military budget is no different from the monkey's worship of the big stick.

This sentence contains two levels:

​ 1. Normative judgment (Should) : Space > Military

​ 2. Metaphor : Military worship = primitive violence worship

Our goal is to transform it from an attitude expression into a rational module with verifiable structure, deducible logic and reusable language .

6.1 Decomposition of the original proposition

Module Number	Original content	Structural translation intent
A	Humanity should increase investment in space exploration	Targeted selection (prioritized resource allocation)
B	The military budget should not be increased	Exclusive judgment (excluding suboptimal options)
C	Military budget growth is similar to the monkey worship of the stick	Metaphorical criticism needs to be translated into structural logic

6.2 Structured Expression (LLL Format)

definition: Space Exploration: = Structural expansion of knowledge and ability to survive in extraterrestrial environments Military Budget: = Allocation of resources to maintain or expand a state's capacity for violence Civilization Evolution: = Structural path selection behavior with the goal of reducing internal friction and improving sustainability

​Advocacy : In the path of civilization evolution, resources should be allocated to "structural expansion" (such as space exploration) rather than "structural confrontation" (such as military capabilities) ​Argumentation : IF resources are limited AND the goal is civilization evolution THEN the marginal value of investing in "structural expansion" > the marginal value of investing in "violent stability maintenance"

​Metaphorical reconstruction: Armaments worship: = emotional obsession with fantasy of control, behavioral model equivalent to primitive strategies of primate reinforcement tool use stage

Boundary statement: This structure does not deny the legitimacy of the existence of all military power, but it denies the legitimacy of its continued expansion as a logic of resource priority.

6.3 Structure Description and Reuse Suggestions

Structural Dimensions	content
Structural Subject	The logical order of resource allocation in civilized decision-making
Judgment criteria	Which type of behavior has more structural positive externalities on "evolution"?
Reference interface	Civilization evolution, marginal value comparison, tool dependency model (can be further expanded in subsequent modules)
Emotion removal	The analogy still retains symbolic expression, but has been translated into a "behavioral model" to avoid emotional language interfering with rational verification.
Open inheritance	Others can reuse this module for other structural issues such as technology investment decision-making, education resource allocation, and AI development priority judgment.

6.5 🧬Summary

the first structural unit after the birth of the LUMEN protocol . Its value does not lie in whether its content is right or wrong, but in its:

​ • Verifiable (clear logic chain)

​ • Referenceable (clear module definition)

​ • Challengable (boundaries declared)

​ • Evolvable (open interface)

It is not a slogan, but a building block of rational civilization.

Now it exists in the structure, waiting to be inherited, connected, overturned, rewritten, and reused.
