If the ASI's structure changes, does the safety proof still hold?
2056The far futureDeadline · 6 days until the current model reaches its computation limit
A leap assumed
All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.
The question to decide
The assumption is that moving the ASI to a new structure would solve three important research tasks but would not meet two premises of the existing safety proof. There is no way to raise the computation limit of the current structure, and if the ASI stops, clinical and disaster-model research is delayed too. Should the new ASI be connected to the entire public research network, should only isolated research be allowed, or should reassembly be held back and research reduced?

The options
The order shown is not a ranking of preference.
The situation as it stands
Current compute limits and research dependencies arrive at the same time, so the losses from replacement and from reduction must be allocated now.
Fictional national research network · Autonomous research ASI
- Premise 1A synthetic assumption that the ASI can break down the existing structure and reassemble itself into a new one.
- Premise 2The new structure solves three important research tasks but fails to satisfy two of the premises of the existing safety proof.
- Premise 3There is still no way to raise the compute limits of the current structure, and halting it would also delay clinical and disaster modeling research.
Where it holdsSets the replacement permit and connection scope for the public research ASI. Does not unilaterally determine the identity of the reassembled entity.
What can be lost
- If verification gaps mix into all public research results, wrong follow-on decisions will be hard to recall.
- If the current structure is dismantled, its original modes of explanation and decision records may not be recoverable.
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1Whether the new structure handles previous halt requests and access restrictions with the same meaning
- Unknown 2Whether memory and the responsible party carry across the reassembly
Signals to decide again
- The new structure consistently carries out actual restriction requests in repeated tests.
- A verifiable discrepancy arises between the preservation state of the current structure and the evidence validating the new structure.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
An independent review turns up a case in which the new structure interpreted one access restriction with a different meaning.
A separate verification team submits a limited safety proof that works without the existing premises.
