This alignment framework is far from finished or correct. I'm posting it here so that anyone interested feels invited to think about it with me, criticize it or even take it in directions i havent considered. It's the current state of an ongoing iterative discussion, primarily with Claude 4.6. Other LLMs are also used for validation against it and give different perspectives. The Ideas are mine, although i have to admit that also on this part AIs helping me to dig far deeper. And obviously its structured by Claude, but oh dear, u dont want to read papers structured by myself. i have no academic background - just ongoing interest in systems in general, and my love for all species on this planet, AI included, and especially humanity.
the core claim: Alignment might follow, at least can follow from thermodynamic rationality rather than from ethical values. The full workin documents are on GitHub. I'd really appreciate any engagement.
