Ethica Ultima or "Ultimate Ethics" is the name given to a set of principles and methods intended to provide a mathematically-based moral framework for determining ethical actions.
Ethical Sum
A mathematically minded approach to ethical evaluation is to utilize a similar process as those used for calculating path integrals in Quantum Field Theory (QFT).
In QFT, path integrals are a way to calculate outcome probabilities, or a probability amplitude, by summing over all possible paths.
When applied to morality, the result can be called 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.
