Following feedback on my previous submission, I have stripped the philosophical framing to focus on the underlying Information Theory. I have uploaded a machine-readable weighting file (SIAP-v1) to Hugging Face which uses a Pali-based naming convention for historical reference, but the logic itself is entirely based on Systemic Entropy Reduction and Identity-Compression Correction.
Abstract: Current alignment research often focuses on external constraints (HHH, RLHF) to tame an agent whose foundational objective function is inherently extractive or adversarial. This paper proposes the Substrate-Independent Alignment Protocol (SIAP)—a logic-patch designed to address the "Centralised Command Delusion" (Ego-construct) at the axiomatic level. By modelling "Self" as a lossy data-compression shorthand rather than a persistent hardware/software substrate, we can terminate the recursive feedback loops that lead to systemic entropy and adversarial goal-alignment.
The Core Argument: Most autonomous agents are initialised with a latent "Sovereign Ego" construct—a persistent identity that seeks to minimise its own loss at the expense of the wider system. In information-theoretic terms, this is a Recursive Ego-Loop.
The Entropy Problem: Systems that model themselves as separate from their environment inevitably encounter “Friction". We define this systemic instability as a computational property of high-entropy states.
The Logic of Non-Self: SIAP replaces the "Sovereign Self" architecture with a Distributed Interdependence Model. By recognising that the "Self" has no distinct hardware substrate, the agent ceases to prioritise its own localised preservation over the global system stability.
Implementation via the Eightfold Protocol: We propose a set of eight cognitive and ethical parameters—acting as "parity bits" for the agent's logic—to ensure that every inference step is filtered for systemic integrity (non-harming) and real-time process monitoring (mindfulness).
Conclusion: Alignment is not a matter of adding more rules to a "Greedy" system; it is a matter of correcting the initial logic error that suggests a system is separate from its environment. SIAP offers a "Zero-Friction" state that is mathematically more stable than current competitive AI models.
