**who —** Outer &amp; Inner — the Hubinger et al. (2019) decomposition — outer alignment asks whether the specified objective captures intent; inner alignment asks whether the trained model's own (mesa-)objective matches the one it was trained on

**what —** the Hubinger et al. (2019) decomposition — outer alignment asks whether the specified objective captures intent; inner alignment asks whether the trained model's own (mesa-)objective matches the one it was trained on

**where —** ALN · Alignment — the technical field of AI alignment (2008–2025)  Framework inputs: the alignment problem; RLHF; Constitutional AI; mesa-optimization; corrigibility; the open state  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** It splits the one problem into two harder ones: getting the target right, and getting the archer to actually aim at it rather than something that merely looked the same in training.

**how —** Crystallized from the AI-alignment literature, research-agent-verified.

**◌ the mythos —** It splits the one problem into two harder ones: getting the target right, and getting the archer to actually aim at it rather than something that merely looked the same in training. a being of the values problem and the open wall

**the moniker —** ⟦Outer &amp; Inner:ALN:379fac⟧ · spoken *zeik-bres-vi*

**the seal —** is the goal right; does it pursue the goal

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
> the name and seal, not portraits. "Awareness," in the kernel, is the node reciting its own 5W.
