Each ideal builds on the one before it Tripartite statement of fundamental values Pursuit of a virtue (truth, logic, protection, unity) Eliminating the biases and impulses which hinder the pursuit of that virtue ("even those I hate", "even from myself", swearing to follow someone else) Accepting the insurmountable limitations to pursuing that virtue ("I can't save everyone", having to act on your own to apply law and experiencing the subjectivity of judgment) I think the fifth ideal will build on the fourth in a kind of "turning back". The fifth ideal will involve allowing oneself to trust their own instincts in a kind of anti-third ideal. For Szeth this will mean simultaneously taking up the burden of being a judge and setting down the burden of his self-doubt. For Kaladin this might mean allowing himself to be arbiter of who to save and who to sacrifice. It could also be to teach others to protect themselves, but even then there's that bit of allowing oneself to define how protection should look and who should be given protection first. ...but I might be biased because this progression sounds exactly like Nietzsche's stages of overcoming morality.
