 209/-- **Theorem (Cost Ordering Gives Ethics)**:
 210    Any cost model over actions directly gives an ethical ordering.
 211    Lower cost = morally preferable. -/

 218/-- **PH-004 Certificate**: Objective morality from physics.

 220    RESOLVED: "Ought" is derived from "is" via J-cost identification.
 221
 222    1. IS: J-cost is the unique recognition composition law
 223    2. IS: Stable configurations (defect = 0) uniquely occur at x = 1
 224    3. OUGHT (derived): Good = stable = zero defect at x = 1
 225    4. Moral ordering = cost ordering (objective, not subjective)
 226    5. Unique moral ideal exists (x = 1)
 227    6. All non-ideal states can be improved (moral progress is always possible)
 228    7. The DREAM theorem provides the 14 virtues as generators of all
 229       ethical transformations (σ-preserving / cost-minimizing actions) -/
