Ring 2 — Canonical Grounding
Ring 3 — Framework Connections
1. Formal Statement
Truth is not a neutral utility. It is the measure of alignment between a representation and reality. Because existence is structured (P0.4), truth is the preservative of structure, and its value is intrinsic rather than instrumental.
2. Type Classification
🔴 Constraint — It identifies the first moral axiom. It states that informational alignment has positive ontological weight.
3. The Logic Chain
- Source Coherent (G3.4)
- Truth Value (G4.1) (this axiom)
- If truth is valuable, deception is its opposite.
- Deception Wrong (G4.2)
