Ternary Logic proposal: enforcing AI safety at the architecture level
MoralLogs · reddit · 2026-11-04
Lev Goukassian introduces his Ternary Logic / "architecture of conscience" proposal: shifting AI safety from teaching models what they should do to architecturally constraining what they can execute.
- Three decision states: Act (+1), Pause (0), Refuse (-1)
- Ethical constraints should live in the architecture itself via hardware enforcement, constitutional execution gates, and independently auditable decision records
- Explicitly a proposed direction, not a solved problem; raises the question of whether AI governance should be part of its underlying architecture
