D.2:1 - Problem Frame

Ethical trouble in system-holon work often appears because the current action is good for one level and bad for another. A person may benefit while a team is damaged. A project may benefit while a community pays the cost. A standard may improve coordination while excluding a minority case. A model may improve one metric while moving harm to a less visible scope.

Do not force these cases into a fixed ladder such as local, group, ecosystem, planetary. Declare the levels and scopes present in the situation—for example, a person, team, organization, community, polity, economy, built asset, project, environment, episteme family, standard, publication, AI-enabled system, or another admitted holon or declared scope.
