Con-E.2.10 --- Cross-Traditional Support for ax25 Is Equivocation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Severity: E (Moderate)*  |  *Sphere: Se5, Se6*  |  *Target: ax25 (cross-traditional convergence claim)*

The PET system's strongest rhetorical asset is cross-traditional
scriptural convergence: all seven perspectives independently support
ax1--ax14. This convergence is genuine for the metaphysical core.
**For ax15--ax25, the "support" conflates fundamentally different
mechanisms:**

- **Torah:** Leviticus 25 Jubilee (50-year land return). *Genuine
  support.*
- **Islamic:** Zakat (2.5% annual wealth tax) + riba prohibition.
  *This is continuous redistribution, not periodic reset.* Zakat is
  the exact opposite of a Jubilee system: annual, incremental,
  continuous.
- **Hindu:** Dana (generosity) + yugas (cosmic cycles). Dana is
  voluntary individual charity; yugas operate on million-year
  timescales. Neither resembles ax25.
- **Secular (Capitalist):** "Recognizes need for rules of the game."
  So vague as to support any economic regulation.
- **Secular (Communist):** "Redistribution as core principle."
  Communism advocates *continuous* state ownership, not periodic resets.

**The equivocation pattern:** Each tradition supports *some form of
concern for economic justice*. ax25 translates this into a *specific*
mechanism (periodic comprehensive wealth reset). The "support" from
non-Torah traditions is for the general concern, not the specific
mechanism. This is the fallacy of the undistributed middle:

1. Tradition X supports economic justice.
2. A Jubilee system is a form of economic justice.
3. Therefore tradition X supports a Jubilee system. (*Non sequitur.*)

**Academic support:** Kuran (2004), *Islam and Mammon* (Princeton):
Islamic economics does not map onto the Jubilee System. Olivelle
(2005), *Manu's Code of Law* (Oxford): Hindu economic ethics differ
fundamentally from periodic institutional reset.
