The Axiom Mapping

Each axiom maps directly to an economic primitive.

The governing axiom 1:1 + 1×ε @ AS reads economically: every transaction is a symmetric exchange (1:1) plus a minimal break (ε) that represents the irreducible cost of the transaction itself — friction, entropy, information loss, opportunity cost.

No transaction is perfectly efficient. Every exchange leaks ε. This is not a market failure. It is the substrate’s structure. The break is the cost of doing business, and it cannot be eliminated.

KS-35.1: If an economic system can be demonstrated to operate without conservation (if value can be created from nothing or destroyed without trace), the Ledger fails.
