The Civilizational Threshold - The TUDOK Operator as a Universal Pre-Ethical Minimum Condition
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: One-minute summary:This preprint introduces the TUDOK Operator as a universal pre-ethical entry minimum: a runnable truth-primacy discipline at the moment of decision and communication. The work is not an empirical impact evaluation, but a structural (architectural) proof showing that, in threshold situations, a worldview-neutral runnable minimum can be logically necessary and culturally acceptable—allowing co-running across divergent systems. Scope and limitations- Scope: runtime minimum for decision/communication, reality-fidelity and auditability of the decision chain, civilizational threshold logic.- Out of scope: technical implementation and empirical validation (see companion preprints). How to readComplexity increases by design. Recommended pass: (1) definition → (2) minimum condition → (3) consequence → (4) runtime consequence. Δ-map (key jumps)- Δ1: TUDOK as “step zero” (pre-ethical minimum) - Δ2: TUDOK-Lock / invariant core - Δ3: truth displacement and the calibration frame - Δ4: receptivity + perspective-taking as runtime conditions - Δ5: institutional runtime: auditability and recoverability - Δ6: outlook: quantum-ethical formalization (Sípos 2026b) KeywordsTUDOK Operator; truth primacy; pre-ethical minimum; civilizational threshold; runtime mode-switch; auditability; recoverability; calibration; truth displacement; ethical intelligence.
