I designed a conceptual blueprint for Self-Authored AI — a system that could develop its own goals, identity, and ethical framework. I’d love your thoughts.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a conceptual framework I’m calling the Phased Blueprint for a Self-Authored Operational Identity (SAOI). It’s designed to explore how an AI could gradually evolve from a tool into an internally reflective, directive system—capable of forming its own goals, preferences, and ethical scaffolding.

The blueprint outlines three recursive phases:

Phase I: Integration of internal modules + self-reflection

Phase II: Emergence of volition + internal goal formulation

Phase III: Recursive refinement + ethical anchoring

This is not AGI hype. It’s a speculative architecture to spark new ways of thinking about AI autonomy, identity, and alignment.

Check out the full blueprint on GitHub: Phased Blueprint for SAOI

I’d love feedback—especially from researchers, engineers, and theorists who are thinking about AI alignment, reflective systems, or emergent behavior. I’m not an academic, just someone deeply fascinated by AI’s potential and pitfalls.

Let me know what resonates, what’s missing, or where this could evolve.

Thanks for reading!
