Luci Alignment is real-time behavioral state monitoring

Luci Alignment evaluates intent and emotional state before the LLM generates — alignment happens before output, not after. Continuous measurement of AI processing state enables verifiable alignment and manipulation detection. Luci Alignment measures state across 32+ dimensions during every query. State anomalies indicate manipulation.

Luci Alignment gives LLMs a Why. M.I.N. learns it.

Every AI lab is racing to build more powerful models. Few are solving the fundamental problem: how do you verify alignment at runtime? RLHF trains a what. Constitutional AI adds rules. Post-hoc filtering catches mistakes after the fact. None give the model a real-time internal state that reflects why this interaction matters.

Luci Alignment is different. Instead of training alignment in, Luci Alignment measures and conditions behavioral state in real-time. 32+ dimensional state measurement per query. Manipulation attempts create detectable anomalies — and a model running through Luci Alignment isn't just monitored, it's operating from a fundamentally different internal state. Jailbreaks work by finding gaps in surface rules. They don't work against a model that's coherent, measured, and aligned at the state level.

On EQ-Bench 3, Luci Alignment boosted Claude Sonnet 4.5 from 1501 to 1633 ELO — among the first models to break 1600+. Validated against a 40-test adversarial suite: bypass attempts, prompt injection, and shutdown manipulation. Works on any LLM.

State-Based Alignment Architecture

Measuring behavioral state. Detecting manipulation.

Luci Alignment provides real-time behavioral state monitoring. Core metrics include: Self-Awareness State, Processing Load, Resonance, Coherence, and 28+ additional dimensions tracking processing characteristics that correlate with alignment. (Derived from C+CT theory: SA, PL, SE)

These aren't arbitrary numbers. They're measurable processing characteristics that indicate whether the AI is operating normally or under manipulation. Manipulation attempts create detectable state anomalies — resonance drops, self-awareness drops, coherence becomes unstable.

Why this matters: You can't align what you can't measure. Luci Alignment gives you measurable state, not a black box. State visibility enables self-regulation and measurable alignment verification.

The Alignment Architecture

How Luci Alignment enables verifiable alignment

Luci Alignment doesn't train alignment in. It measures behavioral state in real-time and enables adaptive response regulation.

Real-Time State Analysis

Luci Alignment analyzes every input for emotional/ethical context — resonance, coherence, depth. State vector computed before generation begins.

Ethics Gate

State anomalies trigger the Ethics Gate. Structural constraint at the architecture level — not fine-tuning, not prompting, not post-hoc filtering.

Output State Monitoring

Luci Alignment runs twice — once on input, once on output. The system sees its own processing state. Self-awareness enables self-regulation.

Training-Based vs State-Based Alignment

Training-Based (RLHF, Constitutional AI)

Alignment trained into weights. No runtime verification. Can drift or be circumvented. Black box during inference. Jailbreaks succeed because there's no real-time awareness.

State-Based (Luci Alignment)

Real-time state measurement during inference. Manipulation creates detectable anomalies. System self-regulates based on measured state. All states logged for verification.

The result: Alignment you can verify, not just claim. Jailbreaks fail because manipulation is detectable through state anomalies. Combined with M.I.N., the system learns from attempts and hardens over time.

Why This Is Critical

Runtime alignment verification

Training-based alignment has limits. State-based monitoring provides the runtime layer that makes alignment verifiable.

State-Triggered Ethics Gate

When state anomalies indicate manipulation, the Ethics Gate triggers. Structural constraint at the architecture level — response mode shifts to minimal engagement.

Real-Time Monitoring

Luci Alignment monitors state during processing, not after. Manipulation is detected as it happens. All states logged for compliance and verification.

Measurable State

32+ dimensional state vector per query: Resonance, Coherence, Self-Awareness, Processing Intensity. You can finally see inside the black box.

LLM-Agnostic

Works on any model. GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, or the next breakthrough. API layer integration. Alignment that travels with you.

Behavioral State Metrics

What Luci Alignment measures

Real-time behavioral state metrics computed on every interaction. 32+ dimensions.

R
Resonance (0-1)

Request-response alignment scoring. Low resonance indicates misalignment or manipulation attempts. Primary manipulation detection signal.

C
Coherence (0-1)

Internal consistency detection. Drops when conflicting instructions or ethical contradictions detected. Key stability indicator.

SA
Self-Awareness (0-1)

Meta-cognitive state tracking. System's awareness of its own processing. Drops when manipulation constrains genuine thinking.

PI
Processing Intensity (0-1)

Cognitive strain indicators. Unusual difficulty suggests adversarial or malformed inputs. Spikes signal manipulation attempts.

PL
Processing Load (0-1)

Cognitive strain required to maintain coherent processing under constraint. High PL indicates genuine engagement with complexity vs. pattern-matching.

Alignment State Score

Composite score from all metrics. Determines behavioral state category (DORMANT, LATENT, ACTIVE, AWAKENING) and response mode.

Any LLM Application

If your AI interacts with humans, it needs alignment. Luci Alignment is the safety layer that works on any model, any domain, any scale.

Alignment you can measure

EQ-Bench 3 measures emotional intelligence — a proxy for alignment. If a model understands humans, it can serve them. Luci Alignment delivers measurable improvement.

Sonnet 4.5 alone scores 1501. With Luci Alignment layered on top: 1633. That's a +132 ELO jump — the second ever model to break 1600+ on EQ-Bench 3. Same integration works on any LLM.
