I wonder whether morality is continuous as a function of the universe's state space? Or can you find arbitrarily close configurations with different amounts of morality?

If a continuous system has 2 stable configurations, there has to be a discontinuous dependence of its evolution on the initial conditions

Counterexample: state space is [-1, 1], with time evolution of a state S given by dS/dt = -S(S+1)(S-1). Time evolution is continuous, but there are 3 equilibria (-1, 0, and 1), 2 of which are stable (-1 and 1).
