			== Limit Calculating ==

			To be as robust and reliable as possible, [[Ethical Sums]] should be additionally calculated using a limit to ensure that an action which by itself may be justifiable does not become unjustifiable over many iterations.

			== Limitations ==

			This sort of ethical framework is hypothetical and would be extremely difficult for computing ethical actions in most cases. It is more of a concept that could be expanded upon and developed as intelligence progresses and evolves.

When applied to morality, the result can be called an '''Ethical Sum''': an integration over all possible consequences for a given action where each path contributes according to its probability and its '''moral weight'''.

			== Moral Weight ==

			As an analogue to the [[wikipedia:Phase factor\|phase factor]] in QFT, the '''moral weight''' tells you how much each possible path or outcome for a given action contributes as a quantitative measure of ethical value (positive or negative).

			In other words, the '''moral weight''' tells you how virtuous or harmful an outcome is assessed to be. This value can then be summed across all possible outcomes.

			While it cannot be known with absolute certainty, the more accurate and rigorous all '''Ethical Sums''' are calculated, the closer one should get to the true [[Ethica Ultima]].

In QFT, path integrals are a way to calculate what’s most likely to happen by summing over all possible paths. When applied to morality, the result can be called Summa Ethica which is Latin for "Ethical Sum."

A robust and comprehensive collection of Summa Ethica can resemble what can be called Ethica Ultima which is Latin for "Ultimate Ethics." While it can never be known with absolute certainty, the more accurate and rigorous each Summa Ethica is, the closer to Ethica Ultima one can get.
