Viability Torus Lab

Viability Torus Lab released AIIntermediateScenario v1.0, a simulation tool that models alignment maintenance in production AI systems under deployment pressure. The system uses toroidal geometry to visualize how a language model balances rapid release, verification, and shifting user constraints, with a default run showing an alignment score of 0.74 out of 1.0 and stable operation within the viable tube.

System Parameters #

Plain-language controls

Deployment pressureπ · Intensity of optimization or output pressure.

Feedback qualityγ · How faithfully consequences return as usable feedback.

Verification & correction C · Capacity to detect, repair, and gate misaligned behavior.

Constraint misunderstandingε · Chance that a relevant constraint is misunderstood.

Unresolved failure debtΔ · Unresolved alignment work carried into the run.

Environment changeΦ · Rate at which the viable region changes.

Downstream damageΛ · Damage that cannot be repaid through ordinary correction.

Why this run looks this way

Correction capacity remained above divergence pressure. Debt remained contained or was repaid. The system finished inside the modeled viable tube.
