Current AI ethics fail because code is a closed system subject to Gödelian incompleteness. We propose the Axiomatic Model (AXM), arguing that AI requires an external 'Human Anchor'—a fixed coordinate of unconditional worth—to be mathematically consistent and ethically navigable. This essay explores the geometry of agency and the necessity of co-evolution.
