Character Dogma Register — Version 1.1

 

Character Dogma Register — Version 1.1

Corpus in use: Core Stoicism, SLE v4.1, Nine Excerpts, Sterling’s Six Philosophical Commitments.

The Character Dogma Register is a reference taxonomy of false-value systems organized by character type. Each entry converts the irrational needs of that type into corpus-compatible dogma-statements: propositions of the form “X is a genuine good” or “Y is a genuine evil.” These propositions are the false beliefs — the dogmata — that characterize each type’s habituated misclassification of indifferents.

These are types of bad character — ideal types in the analytical sense. They are not rational systems and are not expected to be internally consistent. Contradictions within a type’s dogma-cluster are preserved; they are diagnostic of the type, not errors in the conversion.

Contradictions across types require no resolution either. In Oldham’s system, apparent cross-type contradictions are resolved by the scoring structure: what is a genuine good for the high-Solitary person differs from what is a genuine good for the high-Devoted person. In the Stoic framework that mechanism does not exist and is not needed. Solitude is an indifferent. Company is an indifferent. The Solitary type’s dogma that solitude is a genuine good is false. The Devoted type’s dogma that being without a relationship is a genuine evil is equally false. The framework applies the same corrective to every entry in the register regardless of which type generates it. The register’s apparent contradictions across types are not a problem to be solved — they are a display of the range of ways a single class of error can be instantiated across character.

Provenance: Oldham-sourced — derived from John M. Oldham and Lois B. Morris, The New Personality Self-Portrait (New York: Bantam, 1995), via the PTypes typology authored by Dave Kelly. PTypes-original — derived from Dave Kelly’s independent typological extensions. [LLM-derived] — propositions added in Step 2 as logically implied by the existing cluster; not drawn from external literature. All LLM-derived additions require Dave Kelly’s review before ratification.

Standing flag — Detachment cluster [D]: Items that superficially resemble correct Stoic positions are marked [D]. Stoic apatheia follows from correct assent; the type’s detachment is pursued as an external good to be obtained.
