Universe Drives Integration Guiding AI Alignment
W. Alex Foxworthy publishes on April 6, 2026, proposing that a universal "arrow of integration"—a historical trend toward increasingly integrated, persistent structures—provides a rational basis for shared human and artificial values. He argues that adopting an "integrative orientation"—preserving dependent systems and avoiding parasitic extraction—offers a pragmatic alignment principle for designers and policymakers. The essay links thermodynamic, biological, and cultural patterns to AI alignment implications.
