ALIGNMENT
Coherence before expression.

Alignment is the condition where output matches true internal constraints. Alignment is not agreement. Alignment is not compliance. Alignment is correspondence.

Alignment is proven when the same core values and boundaries hold under pressure, including when holding them costs approval.

Alignment is the prerequisite for expression. If it is not aligned, it does not ship.
