A ten-move structural cascade connecting foundational ontology to lived ethics — from the totality concept (the "Allself") through individuation, finitude, and embodied development to the proposition that good life equals well-lived mortality. The paper presents the cascade as an integrated argument rather than a series of disconnected claims, demonstrating that each move structurally requires the previous one. Engages classical virtue-ethics traditions (Aristotelian eudaimonia, Stoic prokoptōn, contemplative traditions of impermanence-acceptance) alongside contemporary work in moral psychology, developmental ethics, and existential philosophy. The closing claim — that the good life is the noble death is the well-fed creation — is presented as a triadic Latin formulation (mortalitas × moralitas × metabolitas) that captures the cascade's terminus.
