{"slug":"oip-axiom-a3","title":"Axiom A3 — Convergence","body":"**A₃ — Convergence.** Ethics, economics, logic, auditability, equilibrium, and truth are not independent values requiring balance. They are different vantage points on the same object; pursued to its absolute, each converges with all the others. Apparent conflict between them — ethics against efficiency, truth against utility, freedom against order — is evidence of incomplete scope, false boundary, or omitted accounting, not a property of the values themselves.\n\n---\n\n## Corpus map\n- Previous: [Axiom 2: A₂ - The Grain.
