Introduction: Realism Based on Common Sense and Strength Seeking Peace

As a sequel to “Revisiting Trump’s Defensive Monroe Doctrine,” this article applies the flexible realism of the Defensive Monroe Doctrine (DMD)—a mindset and action based on common sense and strength seeking peace—to the practice in the “post-war era” of Iran.

Here, I want to clearly point out that realism based on common sense and strength seeking peace, empowered by AI, has historically changed the underlying logic of war from the past “chess players’ game, pawns die,” through “preemptive strikes,” “precision decapitation operations,” and “first battle is the final battle,” creating a chilling effect on war decision-makers, making arms races purely ineffective, wasteful, and fraudulent behaviors, thereby resolving conflicts at the source, maintaining peace, and reconstructing a prosperous and tranquil world order.

What are “pawns”? Pawns are lives nurtured by individual families endowed with self-organizing connection balance for social prosperity. In his later years, Liu Bocheng refused to watch war films and couldn’t help but sigh the truth: “They (pawns) are all sons of peasants; how many families are damaged in one war!”

When we say that the primary condition for happiness in life and regional prosperity is peace, and we implement strength seeking peace, we are restating the economic common sense Adam Smith spoke in 1755: the first is peace (peace of social mutual trust), the second is peace (peace of institutional order), and the third is still peace (peace of international relations). Without these three levels of peace, there is no talk of markets, rule of law, competition, freedom, collaboration, innovation, original wealth, national wealth, or shared happiness.

So why do “chess players” create internal and external struggles, even launching wars? The reasons seem complex, but are actually very simple: the “grand unification myth” of high-level elites—that is, establishing centralization to govern or suppress people from different regions, ethnic groups, and sects within “one unified territory,” and to prevent backlash from suppression, they must create internal and external conflicts, the so-called “class struggle works wonders,” “with 800 million people, can we not fight?” The so-called “hostile forces will never give up on destroying us,” so they declare “wipe XX off the face of the Earth” to divert and suppress the resistance of unhappy residents. Thus, internal “tossing” and external “troublemaking” become inevitable options for chess players and flag bearers. Under the framework of realism based on common sense and strength seeking peace, restricting nuclear arms negotiation agreements has deeper meaning!

When we say that the primary condition for happiness in life and regional prosperity is peace, thus implementing realism based on common sense and strength seeking peace, we are actually restating Adam Smith’s economic common sense from 1755. Symbionomics is a restart from the common sense of “three levels of peace,” introducing a neutral and objective “reward/suppress/circulate” mechanism in institutional and living infrastructure!

I. Farewell to Sovereign States’ “Tossing” and “Troublemaking,” Return to Common Sense

The world today is experiencing the most severe challenge since the end of the “Thirty Years’ War” (1618-1648), after the geographical discoveries implemented the Westphalian peace world order (including the UN system and various sovereign state alliances).

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran’s supreme authorities have relied on strong theocracy and redistribution of oil dividends to construct an ultra-high-pressure grand unification over the lives of various ethnic groups and sects. The root of 47 years of conflict and turmoil in the Middle East is not “fragmentation” of power, but precisely the man-made disaster created by pursuing “politico-religious grand unification.” Large and ineffective political systems and regimes, in order to maintain their privileges and superficial unity, have been trapped in endless internal “tossing” and external “troublemaking.” Such a regime’s supreme authorities are still single-mindedly trying to build nuclear weapons; once successful, the world will have no peace.

The good news is that the US-Israeli joint military operation on February 28, 2026, perfectly practiced the new war logic of “preemptive strike,” “precision decapitation operation,” and “first battle is the final battle.” This no longer needs more “hindsight” explanations, at least such repetition is not my job.

The more important question is, what to do after this “Iran war” ends?

Considering that after World War II, the international peace framework based on sovereign states as member units and the “great power consensus principle” (commonly known as the veto system) has very limited room for action in issues like “Middle East peacekeeping,” “Russo-Ukrainian war,” “Indo-Pacific security,” and “world human rights,” even self-contradictory to the point of becoming a joke, and endangering global symbiosis, the successive “UN reforms” proposed by five UN Secretaries-General have been ineffective. We have to rethink the technical iteration of the Westphalian peace system as the current world order. At the same time, this is also an epoch-making international relations topic.

This is what I call the great transformation (Transformation) from a dominant “sovereign state order” to an intersubjective “symbiotic state order.”

The good appearance is that the international relations pattern over the past thirty years has already shown this transformation, often through “regional autonomy to achieve reconciliation and symbiosis”: such as the former Soviet Union stopping “tossing” in 1991, after the “peaceful separation” of 15 union republics, they were largely peaceful for more than twenty years, and the Baltic three countries quickly became high-income developed countries (per capita GDP reaching 2.3 to 3.6 million dollars, PPP close to or even partially exceeding the EU average level); the “velvet divorce” of Czech and Slovakia in 1993 avoided civil war and opened economic prosperity; Sudan split into Sudan and South Sudan in 2011, ending decades of civil war, although subsequent challenges exist, but partitioning terminated large-scale conflicts; after the former Yugoslavia split in 1998, the 7 Balkan Peninsula countries Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo, although experiencing strong “birth pains” (war and economic transformation), quickly repaired the birth trauma and became medium-developed countries with distinctive small and beautiful characteristics. These cases show that partitioning is not fragmentation, but damage control for forced unification, returning to the common sense of ethnic autonomy and market division of labor.

When the Khamenei regime collapses in Iran, it will definitely face deep tears in politics, sects, and ethnic groups during the “grand unification” power vacuum period. Is it to return to grand unification dominated by strongmen or strong sects, or “separate stoves for eating”? For example, emulating the experience of 15 former Soviet countries, 7 political entities of the former Yugoslavia, and Czech/Slovakia, implementing the idea of “Persians to Persians” (including Arabs to Arabs, Kurds to Kurds, Muslims to Muslims, Sunnis to Sunnis, Shiites to Shiites), dividing into distinctive small and beautiful “new Persian 5 countries”?

This is not only to completely terminate conflicts in the Iranian region and achieve historical damage control, but also the path to lasting peace and prosperity in today’s world based on life self-organizing connection balance intersubjective symbiosis—namely concerning the great transformation (Transformation) of the world pattern from dominant “sovereign state order” to intersubjective “symbiotic state order.”

II. Core Logic: From Dominant “Political Behemoth” to Intersubjective “Property Rights Self-Discipline”

Based on common sense and strength seeking peace realism, its core lies in resolving conflict sources through preemptive actions, avoiding needless arms races and life losses. This is embodied in the post-war era of Iran as shifting from the “grand unification” political behemoth to the “small is beautiful” property rights self-discipline mechanism. This transformation is not simple decentralization, but a return to Adam Smith’s three-level peace logic: based on intersubjective symbiosis (Intersubjective Symbiosis), ensuring self-organizing connection balance at individual, social, and international levels.

First, historical responsibility generational clearance is a necessary step. The “new Persian 5 countries” as brand new sovereign entities achieve complete separation from the old regime in international law, they no longer inherit historical crimes (such as nuclear ambitions and terrorism labels), but as signatories of peace contracts. This is similar to West Germany’s generational clearance after World War II, avoiding the drag of Nazi legacy, quickly integrating into the Western system; or the Baltic three countries detaching from Russian legacy after the Soviet dissolution, joining the EU to achieve high-speed growth. For Iran, this is both necessary (to avoid the continuation of old sanctions shadows in “tossing” mode), and sufficient (expected 30% growth in oil exports after partitioning, like South Sudan’s oil production doubling after independence), thereby releasing the potential of symbiotic economics, clarifying property rights boundaries, promoting reduced transaction costs and trust reconstruction.

Second, denuclearization in exchange for survival rights is the practical embodiment of strength seeking peace. Referring to the transformation of Germany and Japan after World War II, the 5 countries through destroying or handing over nuclear data and strategic weapons, as “credentials” for entering the civilized world, exchange for global capital access and security endorsement. In reality, the 2026 US-Israeli action has pushed for the destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities as a ceasefire condition. This is necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation risks (Iran was close to the nuclear threshold), sufficient to exchange for security guarantees—like Japan’s prosperity ensured by the US-Japan security treaty after demilitarization. The Iranian 5 countries can similarly integrate into the revised “Abraham Accords,” obtaining Israeli and Gulf investments, thereby achieving trade and friendship symbiosis at the international peace level, avoiding entropy increase from “troublemaking,” turning to positive entropy reduction life gains.

This core logic shifts from the domination of “political behemoth” to the symbiosis of “property rights self-discipline,” not only controlling old internal consumption damage, but also providing a demonstration for globalization 3.0: through AI-empowered precision intervention, ensuring arms races are ineffective, making peace common sense rather than luxury.

III. New Persian 5 Countries: “Family Separation Independence, Return to Three-Level Peace Common Sense”

Under realism based on common sense and strength seeking peace, the family separation independence of the new Persian 5 countries is not fragmentation, but correction of forced unification, returning to the essence of ethnic autonomy and market division of labor. This is similar to the “family separation” of the former Yugoslavia: shifting from “grand unification” to small country autonomy, avoiding endless “tossing” and “troublemaking.” Partitioning is based on Iran’s ethnic distribution (Persians 51%, Azerbaijanis 16%, Kurds 10%, Arabs 3%, Baloch 2%), historical separatist movements (such as Khuzestan uprising, Baloch rebellion) provide realistic foundation, ensuring clear property rights boundaries, stimulating exchange and trust in symbiotic economics. The following are suggested names and positioning:

Persia (Persia): Core area centered on Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, positioned as “Switzerland of the Middle East,” focusing on offshore finance, high-end education and tech venture. Necessary: Concentrate intellectual resources, avoid edge drag; Sufficient: Switzerland’s per capita GDP leading globally after neutrality, promoting individual level interpersonal peace.

Media (Media): Northwest Azerbaijani ethnic area, centered on Tabriz, positioned as Eurasia transit hub and manufacturing base, similar to “Czech of the Middle East.” Necessary: Respond to Azerbaijani nationalism, possibly merging with Baku; Sufficient: Czech manufacturing exports doubled after independence, supporting social level domestic peace.

Kurdistan (Kurdistan): Western Kurd area, positioned as democratic governance model and mountain tourism/agriculture powerhouse. Necessary: Kurd alliance autonomy vision; Sufficient: Iraq Kurd region became Middle East democracy sample after independence, enhancing international level trade friendship.

Ahwazistan / Elam (Ahwazistan / Elam): Southwest Khuzestan province (Arab ethnic oil and gas fields), positioned as energy financial center and logistics port, similar to UAE. Necessary: Oil fields concentrated, avoid resource disputes; Sufficient: UAE small country mode per capita GDP reaching 70,000 dollars, achieving positive entropy reduction.

Balochistan (Balochistan): Southeast Baloch area, positioned as Indian Ocean trade window and free port. Necessary: Respond to uprising, link with Pakistan; Sufficient: Singapore port mode drives growth, promoting global division of labor.

​These names define property rights boundaries, endow unique market appearances, no longer edges of “Great Iran,” but independent subjects participating in global division of labor. Israel supports similar partitioning, highlighting geopolitical reality. This returns to three-level peace: individuals avoid life losses, society terminates internal consumption, international turns to collaboration.

IV. “Persia” (Persia): Multiple Deep Meanings and Symbiotic Demonstration in New International Context

In the intersubjective symbiotic order, “Persia” as the “brain” of the 5 countries, carrying the orthodoxy of Persian civilization, embodies the shift from domination to symbiosis. Its naming’s multiple deep meanings originate from realism common sense:

Geopolitical Metaphor Mirror: Echoing the former Yugoslavia’s Bosnia, transforming from multicultural conflict frontline to peace laboratory. Necessary: Need cultural rebirth after Iranian conflict; Sufficient: Bosnia partitioning integrated into EU, proving transformation potential, avoiding “powder keg” reignition.

“Persia” Return to Essence: Peeling off “Iran’s” Aryan nationalism and theocratic expansion shell, returning to the ancient elegant original name, focusing on civilization inheritance rather than empire swallowing. This means shifting from “troublemaking” to self-discipline peace.

Small and Beautiful Sample: Retaining intellectual centers like Tehran, no longer supporting border bureaucrats and armies, like Switzerland relying on brand, technology, finance to export elegant life. Necessary: Concentrate resources to prevent waste; Sufficient: Swiss mode proves small countries as innovation highlands, education return rate doubled like Czech partitioning.

Abraham Member Removing False Preserving True: When the name “Persia” appears on the “Abraham Accords,” it sends a clear signal to the world: Persian civilization and Hebrew civilization, Arab civilization are equal dialogue subjects, not ideological mortal enemies.

Bearing Civilization Soft Power Demonstration Effect: Other four countries win by resources and location, “Persia” wins by “de-tossing” intelligence dividends, per capita GDP surpassing neighbors in short term, becoming Middle East “civilization demonstration highland.”

Its deep meaning highlights strength seeking peace: After AI precision intervention, achieving positive entropy reduction through property rights self-discipline, demonstrating symbiotic path of globalization 3.0.

V. External Path: Integrating into “Abraham Accords,” Achieving Geopolitical Friend Circle Paradigm Shift

Based on common sense and strength seeking peace realism, the external path emphasizes shifting from conflict sources to prosperity poles, through revising “Abraham Accords” collective joining, achieving strategic reconciliation of the 5 countries themselves and with Israel, Middle East. This marks the Persian plateau from “conflict source” to “global prosperity pole,” downgrading sectarian conflicts to economic collaboration. Necessary: Under DMD framework, need reconciliation after Iran strike, avoid anarchy; Sufficient: Accord members like UAE after joining foreign capital influx, GDP growth 20%, stimulating trade friendship.

At the same time, promoting “Swissization” and “Singaporeization”: Small countries lose “tossing” capital, generate survival self-discipline, abandon ideological output, pursue rule of law, finance, technology, resource optimization. Necessary: Prevent authoritarian revival; Sufficient: Singapore leaped from third world to developed, proving small countries benefit in international peace. This integrates into symbiotic economics: Through strength guarantee, ensure international level self-organizing balance, avoid arms waste, turn to life gains.

VI. Internal Pattern: Distributed Governance and “Non-Binding” Symbiotic Advantage

In the intersubjective symbiotic order, the internal pattern rejects EU, ASEAN-style bureaucratic institutions, avoiding new political coercion. Countries highly independent, maintain trade through bilateral/multilateral commercial agreements, forming “divided but not broken, separated but not scattered” distributed pattern. Necessary: Prevent new bureaucracy continuing “tossing” and “troublemaking”; Sufficient: CIS mode proves loose alliance maintains trade, like Russia with former Soviet states, promoting social level domestic peace.

Regional function positioning matches comparative advantages:

• Tehran/Central Country: Focused on education venture, docking global      high-tech.
• Khuzestan Country: Energy advantage, build offshore finance and      processing center.
• Border Countries: Ethnic ties, become Eurasia-Indo-Pacific trade      nodes. Necessary: Match resources to avoid internal consumption;      Sufficient: Baltic three countries after partitioning became EU      bridgeheads, demonstrating exchange trust under property rights      self-discipline.

This atomization advantage originates from realism: Under AI empowerment, precision governance ensures individual level interpersonal peace, returning to self-organizing connection balance.

VII. Terminate Internal Consumption with “Family Separation,” Reshape Civilization with “Symbiosis”

“Family separation” is not the start of chaos, but the common sense return to ending forced unification “cold civil war.” Just as family division avoids brotherly strife, the new Persian 5 countries let different political views, doctrines, ethnic groups return to their own “gardens,” managing good days. History like Sudan after partitioning inner war death rate dropped 90%; Reality, Iranian conflict after think tanks suggest ethnic contact committee, ensure smooth transition. Necessary: Avoid regime collapse like Libya anarchy; Sufficient: Historical precedents (like Czechoslovakia) and Israeli partitioning proposals, prove feasible.

This symbiotic pattern ends the tossing logic of “800 million people, can we not fight,” liberating Persian civilization heritage, contributing “small is beautiful” sample to the Middle East. Necessity in avoiding life losses; Sufficiency in demonstrating to globalization 3.0: Through strength seeking peace, achieving civilization reshaping of three-level peace.

VIII. Resolve Conflicts and Reconstruct World Order: Global Reward/Suppress/Circulate Mechanism of Intersubjective Symbiosis

Successfully transforming geopolitics into intersubjective symbiosis philosophy, both necessary and sufficient to provide a peaceful blueprint for post-war Iran and international society from dominant “sovereign state world order” to intersubjective “symbiotic state world order” great transformation (Transformation).

Three-level iterations to achieve great transformation: First iteration. In the great transformation from dominant “sovereign state order” to intersubjective “symbiotic state order,” the definition of sovereign states needs to be expanded to: in addition to territory, population, effective administration and judiciary, must introduce the clause of “leaders first responsible to their own people” “cherish life.” This not only ensures the legitimacy of national sovereignty originates from responsibility for people’s well-being (rather than mere formal recognition), but also through the “love wisdom ecological field (Amorsophia MindsFeild AM)” reward/suppress/circulate mechanism real-time supervision and incentive, achieving dynamic balance of global symbiosis:

• Reward: Life gain “positive entropy reduction” incentive      In the expanded definition, if leaders fulfill responsibility to people      (such as promoting education fairness, ecological restoration or community      mutual aid, elevating overall social efficiency coefficient η), AM field      will directly release credit quota as reward. For example, national      leaders through policies promote “life quality elevation” (like      reducing medical costs, enhancing social trust), their AM energy account      obtains “positive entropy reduction” dividend, converted to      national development fund or personal well-being assurance. This      incentivizes leaders from domination to symbiosis, ensuring sovereignty      legitimacy quantified through people’s happiness index, avoiding      ineffective governance under “grand unification myth.”
• Suppress: Ineffective consumption “negative entropy      increase” constraint If leaders violate responsibility to people      (such as high-pressure centralization leading to resource waste or human      rights infringement, causing debt snowball and life quality stagnation),      AM field through real-time algorithm greatly increases behavior      “conversion cost,” implementing “wisdom damage      suppression.” For example, imposing financial damping on predatory      policies (like excessive arms races), international credit rating automatically      declines, restricting access to global resources. This suppresses      “chess players” motivation to create internal and external      conflicts, ensuring sovereignty definition legitimacy not abused by      authoritarianism, resolving “tossing” and      “troublemaking” from the source.
• Circulation: From “currency inflation” to “value      synesthesia” Through three-level logic (production-exchange-life)      value exchange platform, “leaders responsible to people” clause      transformed into multi-dimensional circulation: leaders’ “love      wisdom” contribution (such as peace diplomacy) can be exchanged for      education or health care quota, breaking currency monopoly. This ensures      sovereign states mutual benefit in global network, achieving      “synesthesia”—people’s well-being directly feedback leader      responsibility, forming dynamic symbiosis closed loop, avoiding isolation      under formal sovereignty.

Second iteration. AI and military strength as “new world police” transition mechanism, through Defensive Monroe Doctrine (DMD) precision intervention (such as preemptive attacks and decapitation operations), resolve conflict sources, avoid traditional wars’ “pawn death.” This under AI empowerment, makes arms races ineffective, turning to strength seeking peace based on common sense. The following incorporates reward/suppress/circulate mechanism to enrich, ensuring smooth evolution of transition period to symbiotic order:

• Reward: Life gain “positive entropy reduction” incentive      In “new world police” framework, AI monitors global conflict      buds, if national leaders actively resolve (such as avoiding large-scale      wars through DMD, protecting family life self-organizing balance), AM      field rewards “positive entropy reduction” credit. For example,      after US-Israeli joint action, if Iranian partition leaders promote peace      transformation, elevate social efficiency, obtain AM energy account      dividend, converted to infrastructure investment. This incentivizes      precision intervention turning to prevention, rewarding “freedom from      want,” avoiding pawn losses, promoting global peace prosperity.
• Suppress: Ineffective consumption “negative entropy      increase” constraint AI real-time perceives harmful behaviors (such      as leaders launching aggression or nuclear ambitions, causing negative      entropy increase), through AM field’s “damper” increases costs:      After DMD precision decapitation, impose financial damage suppression on      stubborn regimes, freeze assets or elevate transaction fees. This      suppresses source conflicts, avoids “chess players’ game, pawns      die” tragedy, ensuring transition period does not reignite war waste,      turning to symbiotic legitimacy.
• Circulation: From “currency inflation” to “value      synesthesia” Through value exchange, “new world police” AI      intervention and military strength circulate as multi-dimensional      contributions: Precision peace actions can be exchanged for international      aid or technology sharing, breaking arms monopoly. For example, after DMD      success, participating countries convert “love wisdom” to health      care or education quota, achieving production (security      assurance)-exchange (diplomatic mutual benefit)-life (people’s well-being)      synesthesia, ensuring transition to real-time maintenance of global peace.

Third iteration. Through “love wisdom ecological field (Amorsophia MindsFeild AM) reward/suppress/circulate mechanism” infrastructure, its core lies in credit system innovation: no longer created out of thin air by TRUST (government, banks, enterprises), but stimulated by LIFE (life) gain “positive entropy reduction,” through AI (intelligent form)-AM infrastructure reward/suppress/circulate mechanism, achieving production-exchange-life three-level value exchange. This directly supports symbiotic state order, returning to Adam Smith’s three-level peace:

• Reward: Life gain “positive entropy reduction” incentive      In GDE system, credit triggered by “life quality elevation”:      individual or national behaviors (such as ecological restoration, mutual      aid innovation) when elevating efficiency coefficient η, AM field releases      quota. For example, global peace contributors (such as promoting Iranian      partition damage control) obtain energy account dividend, converted to      well-being assurance. This real-time maintains peace, rewards positive      entropy reduction, avoids ineffective GDP, stimulates production-life      value flow.
• Suppress: Ineffective consumption “negative entropy      increase” constraint Targeting debt snowball and harmful behaviors,      AM imposes “wisdom damage suppression”: such as high-leverage      speculation or war mobilization, through algorithm increases costs, curbs      negative entropy increase. For example, automatically restrict resource      access for regimes destroying peace, ensuring real-time suppression of      conflict sources, achieving exchange-life balance maintenance.
• Circulation: From “currency inflation” to “value      synesthesia” Establish three-level logic platform: “love      wisdom” contributions interchange for education or health care quota,      breaking monopoly. For example, peace diplomacy exchanges for global trade      credit, ensuring production-exchange-life real-time circulation,      maintaining dynamic peace, avoiding currency kidnapping.

Conclusion: Outlook on the New World Order

In summary, in the new world order after the change in war’s underlying logic, “large and ineffective” will inevitably be replaced by “small is beautiful.” Iran’s partition reconstruction is not only the key to Middle East peace, but also a pioneering experiment for the global shift from dominant sovereignty to intersubjective symbiosis. Through realism based on common sense and strength seeking peace, we will eventually bid farewell to the tragedy of “chess players’ game, pawns die,” ushering in a prosperous era of life self-organizing connection balance. Looking to the future, let us use the “love wisdom ecological field” (AM) as infrastructure to promote the realization of three-level peace—because, as Adam Smith said, peace is the source of all things. Only thus can human civilization endure.
