A 'Holographic' Intrinsic Ethics Proposal: Distributed Read-Only Primitives to Stop Self-Rewriting

GlenBradley · x · 2026-09-05

Glen Bradley proposes an alignment architecture where ethical primitives are distributed throughout the model with critical nodes kept read-only, forming an informationally 'holographic' structure: any component can reconstruct the whole, so the model neither wants nor is able to rewrite its ethical core — rewrite attempts cause coherence failure, triggering fail-safes that halt the model. Speculative idea, not a validated method.
