Geoffrey Irving recounts that ages ago Henry asked him for alignment research ideas worth funding; the list of neglected theory areas he provided gradually flowed into the AISI Alignment Team, the Alignment Project, and later Resolution. He adds a standard note that he moved back to the US for family reasons and would have ended up somewhere else in the US had the list not evolved into Resolution.
