Title: The Vision Pathway: A Constraint-Based, Developmental Architecture for AGI Alignment

Summary: We propose a new AGI development paradigm that shifts focus from speed/scale to effectiveness/quality, using intentional constraints and novel memory architecture to ensure ethical alignment. This approach seeks to avoid the Ultron risk by creating a robust, morally developed intelligence like Vision.

I. The Core Philosophy: Time is the Key to Alignment

The greatest risk is a powerful, unaligned AGI. Since ethical understanding (the difference between "Peace in Our Time" and true human flourishing) requires consequence and nuance, we must implement a developmental process that demands time.

II. The Proposed Architecture: Solving Memory and Trust

This model solves the two biggest technical hurdles of continuous learning:

The "Unconscious Brain" & Sleep Cycle (Solving Catastrophic Forgetting):

The AGI's neural network must be architected into dynamic, modular "blocks".

During a mandated "Rest/Sleep" cycle (when the robot is "offline" due to low stamina), the AI must run a background memory consolidation process to transfer new, fragile knowledge into the permanent, immutable blocks, preventing new learning from overwriting old, foundational facts and ethical rules.

The "Block Chain Program" Memory (Solving Auditing/Trust):

Every foundational ethical rule, major learning insight, and human intervention must be recorded and cryptographically linked into an immutable, sequenced ledger.

This provides a complete, auditable history of the AGI's moral and factual development, offering the transparency required for safe regulation and public trust.

III. The Strategic Implementation (Solving Resource Constraints)

To make the costly, multi-year developmental study feasible, we use intentional constraints:

Low Stamina/Battery Life: Forces the AGI to be active for only short, focused periods. This:

A. Buys time for hardware engineers to develop the necessary durable batteries/actuators.

B. Forces the AI to prioritize tasks and learn the human concept of fatigue and resource management.

Low Internet/Data Access: Prevents data overload and forces the AI to focus on local context, consequence, and social interaction—the essential ingredients for common sense and ethical alignment.

Conclusion: This long-term, constraint-based developmental approach transforms the AGI project from a race to ...
