Force Field and Morality

As has been previously discussed here, a species can be conceived as a Force Field.  So, insofar as Morality, as is typically the case, serves as a corrective to social dissolution or antagonisms, i. e. to repulsive social forces, it functions as an attractive force in such a field.  On the other hand, insofar as it serves as a corrective to conformism or totalitarianism, as it does for Existentialists, it functions as a repulsive force.  Thus, in general, Morality can itself be conceived as a Force Field, i. e. as an interplay of Attraction and Repulsion, in which the human species seeks a balance between homogeneous and heterogeneous tendencies.
