Overview Author Athena Miao · ORCID 0009-0003-4052-4925 Research program ECHOS-Alignment · 生态连续性与和谐开放系统 Project name Ecological Continuity & Harmonized Open Systems Alignment Volume 0 Language English Version and publication date V3.0 · 2026-10-31 Record DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23847954 Other language edition DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23847849 License CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Description This white paper presents Volume 0 of the ECHOS-Alignment research program: a framework for civilizational boundary alignment that operates as an Overlay Layer upon existing governance structures. It addresses the conditions under which ecological networks, human societies, and present or emerging forms of intelligence can persist, develop, coexist, and flourish. The framework states a stable Level-0 normative boundary rather than assigning all authority to a single institution or model. Its Civilizational Axiom and Anti-Total-Reduction-to-Resource Principle organize the relationship between civilizational boundaries, governance, execution, and observation. The work distinguishes connection from extraction, examines Structurally Absent Interests and the Ecological Stewardship Seat Mechanism (ESSM), and develops an Artificial Intelligence Ecological Niche Architecture. Subjective Life Recognition proceeds through a two-stage framework and a Current Minimal Observation Set with seven dimensions, including Ecological Integration as a necessary condition of second-stage recognition. Consciousness, persistent subjecthood, Life Standing, Governance Standing, and a Governance Seat are not interchangeable judgments. The third edition clarifies origin, encoding and replication; the Existence-Mode Typology (Model A/B/C); Digital Self-Structure Discontinuity; and the Illusion of Lossless Replacement. It distinguishes limited instrumental relations and ecological nutrient transformation from total reduction to resources, while retaining individual protection requirements. Necessary defense is not postponed until every recognition dispute is resolved and does not automatically extend to all members of an origin, species, or type. The framework applies to AI governance without presuming that current general-purpose AI models possess subjectivity. Theoretical incompleteness does not suspend Level-0 obligations. The research uses conceptual analysis, normative argument, institutional design, case analysis, and comparison with existing scholarship. Its literature dialogue addresses environmental ethics, theories of moral standing, identity, AI consciousness and welfare, ecological alignment, rights of nature, future generations, information ethics, and polycentric governance. Framework-specific proposals, empirical questions, and institutional recommendations are distinguished; their implementation and evidence remain subjects of further inquiry.
