Why do you have two axiomatizations of morality? Where did they come from? Is there a reason to suspect one or both of their sources?

Because aximatizations are hard. I tried twice. And probably messed up both times, but in different ways.

The axiomatizations are internally complete and consistent, so I understand two genuine logical objects, and I'm trying to understand which to apply.

(Note: my actual map of morality is more complicated and fuzzy -- I'm simplifying for sake of discussion)
