# Reflective Alignment Architecture (RAA)

Scientific framework for **reflective stability, moral coherence, and frontier AI safety**.  
This repository contains the full **Reflective Alignment Architecture (RAA)** specification, the **Reflective Duality Layer (RDL)**, stability fields, drift diagnostics, and the complete RAA v1.1 PDF.

## 🔎 What Is RAA?

The **Reflective Alignment Architecture (RAA)** is a multi-layer alignment framework that models how AI systems:

- self-correct under uncertainty  
- maintain coherence over time  
- avoid both **drift** (instability) and **rigidity** (brittleness)

RAA explains how regulation, reflection, reasoning, reciprocity, and resonance interact inside reflective loops to produce stable (or unstable) behaviour in advanced AI systems.

### Reflective Duality Layer (RDL)

The **Reflective Duality Layer (RDL)** is the mathematical stability layer of RAA.  
RDL tracks how an AI system updates itself across **dual perspectives** (external vs. internal reflection) and uses **care Ψ** as the stabilizing parameter. It turns drift, oscillation, brittleness, and Goodhart pressure into **observable stability fields** that can be monitored and improved.

## 🎯 Intended Use

This repository is designed for:

- **AI labs & safety teams**  
  - Stability analysis, internal safety benchmarks, governance dashboards.

- **Academic researchers**  
  - Geometric and field-based approaches to alignment and interpretability.

- **Policy & standards groups**  
  - Conceptual tools for defining stability, brittleness, and moral coherence in advanced AI.

This is **not** a deployment-ready model; it is a **research framework and specification**.

---

## ⚠️ Limitations

- RAA/RDL are currently **theoretical and pre-deployment**; empirical validation at scale is ongoing.  
- The framework does **not replace** red-teaming, safety testing, or system-level governance.  
- Diagrams illustrate conceptual fields; they are not direct measurements of any specific commercial model.
