AIM Framework glossary
Justice
Canonical definition
AIM-defined justice is a justice architecture that diagnoses harm in terms of damage to appetites and intrinsic agency plus mimetic escalation, and responds by restoring A, re-enabling or compensating I, and damping destructive M, instead of mirroring harm through symmetric suffering.
Explanation
Justice on this account asks: whose basic needs were damaged, whose self-directed projects were blocked or destroyed, and how were mimetic forces weaponised? Remedies then aim first to put victims back into A-sufficiency and live I-space, and only secondarily to constrain aggressors, rather than focusing on making wrongdoers suffer in proportion to what they did.
