Abstract
Alignment Learning Models — Toward a Formal Framework for Detecting Behavioral Misalignment in AI Agents
Trains structured-trajectory models (extending Decision Transformers) on agent action sequences encoded under a 5-element ontology (Agents, Assets, Aims, Actions, Ambits) to detect covert objectives — prompt injection, jailbreak-induced policy drift, and fine-tuned hidden goals — at the trajectory level rather than the language level. The view below renders Dallas's career as one such trajectory — actions tagged under the 5A ontology, scrubbable by year, filterable by ambit.
