 167/-- **Theorem (Hume's Guillotine Dissolved)**:
 168    Hume's claim "no 'ought' from 'is'" is dissolved.
 169    In RS, the IS-OUGHT gap is bridged by identifying:
 170
 171        good(x) = (defect(x) = 0)
 172
 173    This identification is not arbitrary — it is forced by the RS framework:
 174    stable configurations (RSExists) are exactly those with zero defect.
 175    And "stable" in RS is the meaning of "real" and "good." -/
