I’m trying to synthesise actual human values, not hypothetical other values that other beings might have.
To be clear, when you say “actual human values”, do you mean anything different than just “the values of the humans alive today, in the year 2019″? You mention “other beings”—is this meant to include other humans in the past who might have held different values?
The aim is to be even more specific—the values of a specific human at a specific time. Then what we do with these syntheses is another point, how much change to allow, etc… Including other humans in the past is a choice that we then need to make, or not.
I see, thank you. So then, would you say this doesn’t & isn’t intended to answer any question like “whose perspective should be taken into account?”, but that it instead assumes some answer to that question has already been specified, & is meant to address what to do given this chosen perspective?

It doesn’t intend to answer those questions; but those questions become a lot easier to answer once this issue is solved.
