## a₃ — When Values Exist Absolutely, They Co-Occur as a Single Structure

Ethics, economics, logic, auditability, equilibrium, truth — these are not independent ideas. They are different vantage points on the same object. When any of them is pursued to its absolute, it converges with all the others.

This is because across an exhaustively expressed boolean, the dependency tree has not been properly weighted when these values appear distinct. The appearance of distinction is an artifact of inherited prejudice in the initial conditions, not a property of the values themselves.

In the miscsubjects build, this axiom is not abstract. The ledger is the remedy. Every turn, every tool call, every cost is recorded. The owner can see what the system did, why it did it, and what it cost. A system without a ledger is a system that traps the actor in opacity. The build does not do this. The build makes the capable actor — itself — transparent, so the trapped actor — the owner — can verify that remedy is being provided.
