Isfet: What Is It, Really?

[Helmsman_of_Inepu]

Since I am unfamiliar with the concepts, I simply did a one word search term and came up with 274 results for isfet. Maybe there is something in that stack that would help or be interesting.

Some of the results may be for Ion Selective Field Effect Transistors. Isfet Technology. Isfet technology- what a concept!

Most of the results are for that technology, actually. Heh.

I'm sorry. The memory is going on me but thankfully not in my suggested searches. Here is the one I actually searched adding "egypt" after I received the same results you did with the tech.

Thank you. I have much reading to do tomorrow. Lol

Beyond that, I can't say much. I've gotten into many debates as to what is within ma'at, and what isn't. And what isn't within ma'at is technically in the realm of isfet. Much like Veggie has said- morality is fluid, and so, I think isfet is fluid too. Which is why it is hard for me to really give a good definition of what it really is.

I hope your entry is less brain-hurty than mine.

So far, so good.

To my understanding, isfet is wrongdoing, at least under one definition. If living in Ma'at meant to follow the law, help other people, and do things that would benefit Egyptian society, to do isfet was to do the opposite - break the law, harm folks, and undermine society.

Thing is, it's rarely that clear-cut.

What if someone is harming you? Would it be isfet to fight back?



What about unjust laws? Would breaking them and deliberately disobeying them be considered isfet?

I think context is beyond important when considering where one's actions fall.

That's true. I wonder if the ancient Egyptians accounted for that? The Declarations of Innocence keep coming to mind.
