I formalized a proof that the structural vs. nominal typing debate can't be won: any fixed-axis type system necessarily fails for some domain.

The core result: for a type system with fixed axes (like behavior, structure, hierarchy), there exists a domain whose requirements cannot be fully captured. This isn't a limitation of specific languages, it's a mathematical impossibility result.

Main theorem: For any fixed-axis type framework, there exists a domain D such that no complete typing is achievable.
