Chapter 78: The No-Conflict Theorem

Page 287 in the printed volume

Within the dignity-reflected admissible world, properly typed ethical duties cannot conflict. The No-Conflict Theorem (VII.T32) proves that if two obligations are each admissible and locally realizable on a dignity-filtered site, their joint enactment admits a global section. Apparent moral conflicts arise from typing errors (inadmissible demands), incomplete covers (missing perspectives), or feasibility constraints rather than normative contradiction. The Duty Typing Lemma (VII.L11) identifies the structural conditions under which obligations are properly typed. Moral tragedy is real — scarcity, timing, and human limitation create genuine suffering — but it is not structural: the framework itself is consistent.
