- The names of the corrigibility kernel's objects and boxes, and whether "constitutional" names the objective or the allocation. The kernel round (phase 1,
projects/deference/rounds/2026-09-26-corrigibility-kernel/SPEC.md) uses provisional names: the allocationJ, effective realizationE ⊨ J, fidelityFaithful_J, the recognized countN_J, the history evaluationV_J, the objectiveS_J, and Boxes 1–4 (fidelity versus fully updated deference; lexical dominance and mediation; recovery; a bounded realization). Candidates forS_J: fidelity score (recommended), authority-sensitive history score, allocation-weighted score, constitutional score; forJ: allocation of authority (recommended), authority allocation, constitution. "Constitutional" fitsJ's meta level and floor, but in a public post it reads against Constitutional AI and claims more than the object is; the round recommends reserving it for the floor and the amendment procedure. Turns on: the post's readers and the collaborator's vocabulary — external knowledge the round lacks.
