  90/-- **Theorem (Unique Moral Ideal)**: There is a unique morally ideal outcome.
  91    The J-minimum x = 1 is the sole configuration with zero defect.
  92    Objective ethics has ONE correct answer, not many. -/
  93theorem moral_ideal_is_unique :
  94    ∀ a b : EthicalAction, MorallyIdeal a → MorallyIdeal b → a.after = b.after := by
  95  intro a b ha hb
  96  rw [ha, hb]

  98/-- **Theorem (Morally Ideal = Morally Good)**:
  99    An action is morally ideal iff it is morally good (zero cost). -/

 106/-- **Theorem (Moral Ordering)**:
 107    The ethical ordering (MorallyBetter) is a preorder on actions.
 108    This gives an objective moral preference structure. -/

 115  le_trans hab hbc

 117/-- **Theorem (Better Actions Exist)**: For any non-ideal action, a better one exists.
 118    This is the formal statement that moral improvement is always possible
 119    until the ideal is reached. -/
