 192/-- **Theorem (Moral Progress = Defect Decrease)**:
 193    A sequence of actions constitutes moral progress iff defect decreases. -/
 194theorem moral_progress_is_defect_decrease (a b : EthicalAction) :
 195    MorallyBetter a b ↔ defect a.after ≤ defect b.after := Iff.rfl
 196
 197/-- **Theorem (Ethics is Objective)**:
 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. -/

 202    -- The moral comparison is deterministic (objective)
 203    (MorallyBetter a b ∨ MorallyBetter b a) := by

 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
