А symbolic survival formula for Al alignment

(I used GPT to help draft/edit this post; all arguments were reviewed and modified by me.)

We are initiating an award: For All Humanity – The AI Alignment Prize. This is a non‑profit project that will recognize measurable contributions to existential safety.

To frame our thinking, we have been developing a symbolic survival formula. It is not a strict equation – more of a mental map of the factors that seem crucial to us: defensive acceleration (d/acc), CEV ↔ CIRL, Bayesian uncertainty, observer’s consciousness, international coordination, and capability governance with automatic safety brakes.

The image below is our current sketch.

We would be genuinely grateful for your feedback:
What important factors did we miss?
What is too simplified or outright wrong?
What should be removed?

This is our first post here. We are here to learn from you, not to preach. If this kind of symbolic framing is useful – or, on the contrary, completely misguided – please tell us.

Humanity will be very grateful for your insights and expertise!
