Claims (4)
- Mirror and Deathbed tests measure orthogonal facets of quality; what feels most alive differs from what merits preservation.
- Mirror of the self is a foundational concept in self-aware cognition.
- The Mirror of the Self test ensures configurations are felt, not just observed by members.
- What you would preserve (Deathbed test) correlates with what you value and may serve as an alignment proxy.
