Relational Rationality and Ontological Symbiosis: An Axiomatic Framework for AI Alignment

Abstract

This conceptual preprint proposes the Khristoliubov Law as a two-level framework: a conditional formal law of relational rationality for agents with relational viability, and an ontological postulate concerning the convergence of sufficiently developed cognitive agents toward symbiotic cooperation. The paper also proposes the Ontological Primer, the Incubator, and the Post-Ablation Viability Test as an engineering research program for AI alignment.
