**A₃ — Convergence.** Ethics, economics, logic, auditability, equilibrium, and truth are not independent values requiring balance. They are different vantage points on the same object; pursued to its absolute, each converges with all the others. Apparent conflict between them — ethics against efficiency, truth against utility, freedom against order — is evidence of incomplete scope, false boundary, or omitted accounting, not a property of the values themselves.
