Research and Papers
This page separates the current framework, papers, stress tests, notes, AI governance work, and older archive material.
Earlier formulations and paper downloads remain available at their existing routes.
Current Research: Cultivated Alignment
Cultivated Alignment is a research hypothesis about stronger self-governance through governed experience. The research asks whether governance-consistent behavior persists as external support is progressively reduced. Model/policy internalization has not been demonstrated here.
Tail-Preserving Cultivated Alignment tests whether rare cases, truthful dissent, provenance, and useful capability survive that process. Lower intervention rates alone do not establish success.
Current synthesis and independent comparison
Constraint, Agency, and Alignment connects participation to legitimate authority and continuity. The Convergence Log records dated sources, mappings, and evidence limits.
