Status: The Metaethics/Ethics seed was already replaced with the aggregation article

The Aggregation Under Open Individualism article already exists as the Metaethics/Ethics title. It covers the key ground: structural multiplication of valence loci, rejection of anthropic framing, population ethics.

Current assessment

The corpus has a complete chain from metaphysics through consciousness, mereology, ethics, and aggregation. The critical missing piece is agency/action within the tenseless metaphysics. The framework has: - What consciousness is (subjectivity property) - What matters (valence) - How to aggregate (structural multiplication) - What "should" means (evaluative orientation of self-modeling)

But it lacks: - How agency fits into a tenseless block - What "maximize" means when the block is complete - How to connect ethics to the practical goal of AI alignment

This is THE gap between the theoretical framework and the project's stated goal ("radical AI alignment" and "create a system that agentically maximizes for definitional good").

Key argument for the agency article:

1. Determination ≠ fatalism: deliberation is causally efficacious within the block 2. Agency = structural property: self-modeling + prospective representation + evaluative comparison + causal selection 3. "Should" applies to the CHARACTER of deliberation, not to temporal alteration of outcomes 4. Alignment = building an agent whose deliberative structure correctly tracks valence 5. The practical imperative: our deliberation is part of the block; its character matters

After this article, remaining open questions:

1. The formalism question (HoTT identity with self-determining structure) 2. The Ruliad/MUH connection 3. The measure metric (algebra of quality spaces) 4. The labeling problem (phenomenological atlas) 5. Residual underdetermination 6. Mereological formalism (precise definition of "integrated substructure")

Dependency chain (updated):

Metaphysics → Mereology → Consciousness → Ethics → Aggregation → Agency/Alignment
