From Majesty to Justice-Constrained Sovereignty: A Civilizational Algorithm Theory Analysis of the Sixth Section of Jawshan Kabir
Abstract
This article presents a Civilizational Algorithm Theory (CAT) analysis of the sixth section of Jawshan Kabir, beginning with “Yā man tawāḍaʿa kullu shayʾin li-ʿaẓamatihi” and culminating in “yā man lā yaʿtadī ʿalā ahli mamlakatihi.” Its primary objective is to demonstrate that this section is not a loose devotional sequence, but a tightly ordered narrative civilizational micro-architecture. More specifically, the study reconstructs how the section moves from ontological decentering before divine greatness to compliance, anti-hubris discipline, reverential restraint, rupture-awareness, macro-order, substrate stability, symbolic signification, and finally justice-constrained sovereignty. Methodologically, the article adopts a qualitative, conceptual, and design-science approach using CAT as a framework for sacred-text ontology structuring and theology-to-governance translation. The analysis relies on bounded corpus delimitation, lexical-morphological coding, semantic clustering, Qurʾanic intertextual mapping, hermeneutical synthesis, and systems-philosophical, cybernetic, and governance translation. The findings show that Section Six yields a coherent theology-to-governance pathway in which transcendence is translated into ethics, ethics into behavioral regulation, regulation into institutional order, and institutional order into resilience, symbolic coherence, and justice-bounded legitimacy. The study contributes to CAT scholarship, Jawshan Kabir studies, and design-science approaches in religion and governance by showing that a liturgical text can function as a structured source of civilizational design, taqrīb logic, crisis prevention, and justice-centered governance architecture.
