 198    The moral ordering is objective: it depends only on the cost function J,
 199    not on any subjective preferences or cultural norms. Two rational agents
 200    with the same cost function will agree on all moral comparisons. -/

 209/-- **Theorem (Cost Ordering Gives Ethics)**:
 210    Any cost model over actions directly gives an ethical ordering.
 211    Lower cost = morally preferable. -/

 220    RESOLVED: "Ought" is derived from "is" via J-cost identification.
 221
 222    1. IS: J-cost is the unique recognition composition law
 223    2. IS: Stable configurations (defect = 0) uniquely occur at x = 1
 224    3. OUGHT (derived): Good = stable = zero defect at x = 1
 225    4. Moral ordering = cost ordering (objective, not subjective)
 226    5. Unique moral ideal exists (x = 1)
 227    6. All non-ideal states can be improved (moral progress is always possible)
 228    7. The DREAM theorem provides the 14 virtues as generators of all
 229       ethical transformations (σ-preserving / cost-minimizing actions) -/
