Alignment Detected Too Late → Bounded Execution

This response addresses assumptions about late detection; it does not resolve internal alignment, interpretability, or deceptive intent failure modes.

AI-2027 Reference: Misalignment is often discovered only after deployment.

A. What AI-2027 Claims Here

AI systems may appear aligned until deployed at scale, at which point harmful behavior emerges.

B. Assumptions Underneath

• Unsafe states are representable.
• Deployment precedes full understanding.
• Detection follows execution.

C. What Changes Under a Constitutional Execution Architecture

Execution occurs within bounded envelopes that make specific unsafe states unrepresentable and enable pre-execution validation.

D. Relevant Components

• Atomic ZIP Protocol (bounded state space)
• Magenta Canon (pre-execution checks)

E. Outcome Difference

Some failure modes are prevented from reaching deployment; others are surfaced earlier.

F. What This Does Not Solve

• Does not ensure internal alignment.
• Does not eliminate all harmful behavior.
• Does not replace interpretability research.
