A few more questions:
1. Can you clarify the concept of a moral alert. The term makes sense when it stems from individual ethics. An alert gives the sense that something went wrong, and the individual can experience it as guilt (listed in the description). However, moral alerts stemming from high culture are not as clear. For example, what is the violation, who is it alerting, and how are they experiencing it?
2. If we take morality to simply mean right and wrong behavior, how does the system distinguish between right and wrong behavior that is typical of moral questions (murder, rape, etc), and right and wrong behavior that is unrelated to morality (there's a right and wrong way to drive on the road, make a pancake, tell a joke).
3. Lastly, expound on the input to the system. Everything after individual ethics makes sense. But how does moral information enter the individual, say, if the system was starting from scratch and there was no organizational ethics? The diagram lists things such as homeostasis and I'm not grasping the connection.
