This Discoveries paper records how Sex–Death outputs became legible as a moral pattern: state-dependent shifts in truth, empathy, restraint, and harm threshold. It defines “loop” and proposes testable correlates in attention locking, inhibitory control, network switching, and sleep disruption within DNP and NMS.

The Neuro-Moral Spectrum (NMS) maps virtue and vice as two nervous-system orientations: Love–Life (coherence) and Sex–Death (chaos). It reframes morality as measurable state organization—reward drive, attention, autonomic tone, and social bonding—showing how repeated inputs can entrain the moral baseline over time.

This Discoveries record explains why Love–Life had to be formalized as the opposing state to Sex–Death in DNP. It defines Love–Life as coherence: integrative attention, inhibitory stability, conscience-access, and non-compulsive bonding.
