04 · Rules of the Room
The principles we share
Five rules for argument inside causality.club. They are not negotiable; they are what makes negotiation possible.
-
01
A claim without a premise is noise.
Every position in the room must connect to a stated assumption. Unsupported assertions are not silenced — they are filed under open premises until someone supplies one.
-
02
The counter is granted equal type.
Opposing arguments are rendered with the same weight, the same column width, the same dignity of layout as the position they answer. Visual rank does not encode rhetorical favor.
-
03
The strongest version wins by default.
When you summarize an opponent, you summarize their strongest version, not the weakest you can recall. Steelmanning is the floor.
-
04
A conclusion only lights when the path is closed.
The conclusion node remains dim until every premise it depends on is either accepted or has a published counter-premise. We do not declare resolution prematurely.
-
05
Disagreement is the artifact, not the friction.
We do not exit a debate to feel better. We exit a debate having drawn the circuit more accurately. The output is the trace, not the verdict.
