We present the : the claim that a single mathematical principle---representational symmetry under structure-preserving transformations---underlies and unifies (1) the formal foundations of ethical reasoning, (2) the containment of superintelligent AI, (3) the gauge-theoretic structure of decision systems, and (4) the control of physical systems with hard constraints. We identify three deep principles that emerge from this unification: the (evaluation must depend on physical observables, not descriptions), the (equivalent representations must be identified before evaluation), and the (representational symmetry implies conserved quantities via Noether's theorem). We show that these principles constitute a ``meta-theory'' that transcends the distinction between ethical and physical systems, revealing alignment, safety, and control as manifestations of a single geometric structure. The practical import is that formally verified constraint satisfaction---in AI systems, fusion reactors, medical devices, or any safety-critical domain---reduces to enforcing representational invariance within an appropriately defined principal bundle.
