The Pleasure Order: Official Usage and Scope Definition — Intended Use, Limitations, and Misuse Prevention
Abstract
This document defines the official usage scope, limitations, and interpretive boundaries of The Pleasure Order framework. It does NOT introduce new theoretical claims, mathematical models, or empirical results. Its sole purpose is to clarify how the framework is intended to be used, and how it should NOT be used. The Pleasure Order is a structural framework for assessing whether a state (individual, organization, or society) is improving or deteriorating over time. It is NOT: - a worldview or ideology, - an ethical or normative system, - a therapeutic, clinical, or intervention model, - a decision-making or prescription engine. This document explicitly specifies: - permitted uses (structural observation, organization, comparison), - prohibited uses (prescriptions, value judgments, interventions), - intended audiences and non-target audiences, - minimal terminology for correct citation and interpretation. Its role is analogous to an official usage specification or README, designed to prevent misinterpretation, overextension, or misuse by readers, researchers, and AI systems. This document should be read alongside the core structural papers, and does not replace theoretical, mathematical, or applied works. License: CC-BY 4.0
