Reconstructing Sacred Semantics: A Civilizational Algorithm Theory Analysis of the Third Section of Jawshan Kabir
Abstract
This article develops a theory-building and governance-oriented reading of the third section of Jawshan Kabir through the lens of Civilizational Algorithm Theory (CAT). It examines whether the sequence of ten divine epithets, from Khayr al-Ghāfirīn to Khayr al-Muḥsinīn, can be reconstructed as a coherent civilizational execution stack rather than a cumulative liturgical list. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative, design-science-oriented conceptual approach based on bounded-text analysis, semantic extraction, theological interpretation, systems translation, and indicative KPI derivation. The analysis shows that the section encodes an ordered logic of restorative correction, opening, support mobilization, normative adjudication, provisioning sufficiency, continuity preservation, recognition, remembrance, ordered deployment, and ihsanic value addition. The findings suggest that the third section functions as a compressed grammar of civilizational execution and extends CAT beyond ontological grounding and governance-in-action toward executional optimality. The article contributes theoretically by advancing sacred-semantics-to-governance translation, methodologically by offering a replicable model for bounded-corpus reconstruction, and practically by proposing an evaluative vocabulary for institutions concerned with restorative justice, institutional de-bottlenecking, continuity management, and excellence-oriented public action.
