Could you elaborate on what this thing you call "morality" is?

To me, it seems like the "morality" that deontology aspires to be, or to represent / capture, doesn't actually exist, and thus deontology fails on its own criterion. Consequentialism also fails in this sense, of course, but consequentialism does not actually attempt to work as the sort of "morality" you seem to be referring to.
