 247/-- **Meta-Principle (Derived)**: "Nothing cannot recognize itself."
 248
 249In the cost framework, "Nothing" corresponds to the limit x → 0.
 250Recognition requires a finite cost, but J(0) → ∞, so recognition
 251of "Nothing" by "Nothing" would require infinite cost—impossible.
 252
 253This makes MP a **derived theorem**, not a primitive axiom. -/
