Function in corpus
Structural reframing of AI alignment.
Details
• Key move: Alignment is a question of structural compatibility among interacting systems, not primarily a problem of value specification, preference matching, or control optimization. • Corpus role: The entry point into the AI alignment arc. • Scope note: Serves as a bridge paper, applying the IO framework's agency and salience mechanics to the alignment domain before the full alignment arc develops.
