Libertas — Freedom Calculus

Freedom gained or lost? Coercion increased or decreased?

The Libertas framework tracks the net balance of human freedom — where coercion expands, where liberty recedes, and who bears the cost.

Key Questions

• Net freedom? Does this event increase or decrease individual liberty?
• Coercion vector? Who is being coerced, by whom, through what mechanism?
• Consent? Did the affected parties agree to this arrangement?
• Cost distribution? Who pays the freedom tax?
