Principle
Stable universalism requires mature identities.
Attempts to bypass identity frequently produce assimilation rather than universalism.
Universalism cannot be imposed.
Universalism emerges when mature identities voluntarily enter Interaction and Belonging with one another.
This makes universalism an outcome of Agency, Legitimacy, and Fairness, not a substitute for them.
