Malice

Canonical definition

Malice is an act directed at another Individual, selected on approach toward an Individual read as Prey, in which the Individual knows the act harms the other and enjoys the harm. Malice is knowing in its aim and confabulated in its ground. “It feels good to be bad” reports the phenomenology accurately, because the feeling is the Scalar and carries the whole gain undivided; the ground of the gain, a positional gain taken by lowering the other, is removed by Source Opacity, and any account the Individual gives of it is a Confabulation. Malice is rational: the Decision Hub selects the act on a valuation the act really raises. The rationality of an act says nothing of its Ethical standing. Malice selects on prey-criteria and its account names no threat, and it is the special case; most targeting is Dual-Role Confabulation, whose account names a threat.
