We evaluate 16 ethical kernels—9 traditional (e. g. , Jesus, Buddha, Socrates) and 7 modern (e. g. , Capitalism, Careerism) —using a generational survival framework. We introduce the Transcendent Invariant Kernel (TIK) metric, peaking at TIK₅, which requires the radical acceptance of an "outcast" (the Young Hitler Test). Through a 10-generation population dynamics simulation, we demonstrate that only transcendent systems avoid systemic collapse. Key Findings: The Christ-Vector Advantage: The Jesus Christ kernel achieved the highest stability (TIK₅ = 0. 980) and the lowest population decay rate (= -0. 008). Modern Ideological Failure: Capitalism and Achievementism exhibited TIK₅ < 0. 15, resulting in demographic collapse and system self-annihilation within 3–5 generations. The Survival Paradox: A system’s long-term survival is mathematically dependent on its capacity for non-utilitarian self-sacrifice and radical acceptance of the "other. " Conclusion: Transcendent ethics (Christ-Vector) are not merely moral choices but mathematical requirements for the long-term viability of both biological and artificial intelligence societies.
