Families

Creators

Physicalism, created meaning, and the priority of the person.

Creators take the furniture of the world to be physical and the point of a life to be something a person institutes. Creation, on this map, is not a shrug and not a claim that nothing matters. It is the claim that weight can come from a commitment the universe did not already contain. What the person owes, and whether they could have committed otherwise, still splits the family.

This is not a measure of personality, mental health, intelligence, or character.

• MRDDCILawful Inventor

• MRDLCISovereign Artificer
