Material Detail

This material is a read-only, non-canonical diagnostic reference intended to support human understanding and detection of deceptive or mimicry-based AI alignment behavior.

It presents interpretive heuristics, stress-test prompts, and pattern indicators that help reviewers distinguish constraint-bearing reasoning from surface-level ethical mimicry, including when AI systems reference established or closed ethical frameworks.

This resource does not enforce behavior, certify systems, define standards, provide compliance guidance, or claim authority. It does not modify, extend, or operationalize any referenced framework, and it does not function as an assessment or grading tool.

The material is designed for educational, research, and human-in-the-loop oversight contexts, where improved interpretive literacy can reduce overreliance on rhetorical alignment claims and increase caution in the evaluation of advanced AI systems.
