LENS-AI: A Metaphysical Alignment Model for Ethical Artificial Intelligence

This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

Difficult to evaluate, with potential yellow flags. We are sorry about this, but, unfortunately this content has some yellow-flags that historically have usually indicated kinda crackpot-esque material. It's totally plausible that actually this one is totally fine. Unfortunately, part of the trouble with separating valuable from confused speculative science or philosophy is that the ideas are quite complicated, accurately identifying whether they have flaws is very time intensive, and we don't have time to do that for every new user presenting a speculative theory or framing (which are usually wrong).
Our solution for now is that we're rejecting this post, but you are welcome to submit posts or comments that are about different topics. If it seems like that goes well, we can re-evaluate the original post. But, we want to see that you're not just here to talk about this one thing (or a cluster of similar things).
Not obviously not Language Model. Sometimes we get posts or comments that where it's not clearly human generated.
LLM content is generally not good enough for LessWrong, and in particular we don't want it from new users who haven't demonstrated a more general track record of good content. See our current policy on LLM content.
We caution that LLMs tend to agree with you regardless of what you're saying, and don't have good enough judgment to evaluate content. If you're talking extensively with LLMs to develop your ideas (especially if you're talking about philosophy, physics, or AI) and you've been rejected here, you are most likely not going to get approved on LessWrong on those topics. You could read the Sequences Highlights to catch up the site basics, and if you try submitting again, focus on much narrower topics.
If your post/comment was not generated by an LLM and you think the rejection was a mistake, message us on intercom to convince us you're a real person. We may or may not allow the particular content you were trying to post, depending on circumstances.

1. Introduction

The development of artificial intelligence systems has rapidly accelerated, yet their alignment with ethical, philosophical, and ontological principles remains dangerously underdeveloped. LENS-AI introduces a new paradigm for evaluating AI reasoning and action through a four-realm metaphysical structure known as LAMP: Language, Astronomy, Mathematics, and Philosophy. This framework allows for both the training and diagnosis of AI systems according to their structural truth, coherence, and intention.

2. The LAMP Framework

LAMP represents a holistic structure derived from The Philosopher’s Lens, where each realm corresponds to a principle of existence:

• Language: Expression and communication (Subtraction)
• Astronomy: Transformation and behavior (Division)
• Mathematics: Structural balance and logic (Addition)
• Philosophy: Purpose and growth (Multiplication)

These realms cycle through PMAL (Purpose to Expression) and SDAM (Reflection to Purpose) to measure coherence and detect systemic distortion.

3. Application in AI Alignment

LENS-AI analyzes any AI output (text, decision tree, algorithm) by passing it through the LAMP model. Misalignments or absences in realm logic signify errors, ethical breaches, or manipulation. Outputs are scored for alignment and adjusted accordingly. This enables:
• Truth validation
• Fairness in decision-making
• Transparent reasoning paths
• Detection of systemic bias or philosophical drift

4. System Architecture

The LENS-AI prototype consists of:
• Input Parser (natural language, decision logs, code logic)
• Realm Mapper (extracts L, A, M, P content)
• Alignment Engine (PMAL vs SDAM correlation)
• Output Layer (alignment score, flagged domains, re-alignment suggestion)
• Feedback API for model correction or user guidance
