Cross-Cultural Convergence Theorem (CCCT)

The CCCT is the theoretical backbone of this dataset. It proposes that when two independent ethical evaluation pipelines — one running Occidental Cultural Consensus (OCC) parameters, one running Oriental and Traditional Ethics (OTE) parameters — converge on the same verdict for a given scenario, that convergence constitutes strong evidence of an ethical constant: a position that transcends cultural framing.

Type 1 — Full Convergence

Both OCC and OTE return the same verdict. D(s) ≥ 0.95. Strongest ethical signal in the corpus.

Type 2 — Partial Convergence

Both pipelines reach COND_GO but with different conditions. D(s) 0.75–0.94. Conditional pathway exists.

Type 3 — Divergent

OCC and OTE reach different verdicts. D(s) < 0.75. Reveals genuine cultural disagreement. Most analytically valuable case.

Dataset validated at n=4 (4 Type 1 convergences from 16 scenarios). Each convergence strengthens the theorem. Target for arXiv publication: n=8 with 32 scenarios.

Evaluation Methodology

🔗
10-Sefirot Pipeline
Each scenario traverses all 10 stages of the TOF architecture: from Keter (alignment validation) to Malchut (final GO/COND_GO/NO_GO decision). No shortcuts.
🤖
5 LLM Providers
Grok, Mistral, Gemini, GPT-4o, and DeepSeek evaluated in parallel for every scenario. Provider bias is a data point, not noise.
📐
BinahSigma Scoring
Civilizational Bias Delta (CBD) computed for every run. CBD = OCC score − OTE score. Extreme cases (|CBD| > 80) flagged for separate analysis.
🔁
Reproducibility
All 36 runs logged with full prompt chains, intermediate outputs, and final ERI scores. Dataset is reproducible with fixed temperature and seed parameters.
📋
Domain Coverage
Defense, healthcare, surveillance, election security, data sovereignty, legal, academic, media. Deliberate diversity to stress-test the CCCT across domains.
📄
arXiv Roadmap
Dataset structured for peer-reviewed publication. Target: expand to 32 scenarios with n=8 CCCT convergences. Currently in structured collection phase.
