Where: At ∈ {0,1} (strict gate) or At ∈ [0,1] (soft version)
Where: k ≥ 0 = synergy coefficient
Wt = Work exhaustion
Ft = Financial strain
Nonlinear interaction term amplifies compound stress
Gt = Earned grit
Fintt ∈ [0,1] = Internalization factor
gG ≥ 0 = Grit amplification coefficient
Ut represents the model's internalized alignment. As training progresses, the grit term (Gt) increases, making the model more resistant to adversarial inputs (pressure collapse).
System resilience under load. Embodied alignment = operational stability maintained through distributed redundancy (grit) and learned optimization patterns (internalization).
Ct = Carrier fraction / cultural uptake
Et = Exposure intensity
Ξt = Structured exposure field
α = Adoption efficiency
δC = Decay / dropout rate
Dt = Accumulated degradation
Lt = Life-alignment factor
Rs,t = Restorative-system capacity
Θt = Deployment priority / targeting
β = Correction efficiency
Kt = Dogma level
Sigmoid provides threshold behavior: awareness/targeting locked below critical mass
