- Aesthetics is a separable axis in AI evaluation, partially independent from a single latent performance factor.(claim)
- Capability can become polish, and polish can diminish life—Alexander's central insight empirically demonstrated in AI outputs.(claim)
- Forced-choice pairwise comparison with Elo conversion operationalizes Alexander's method and produces stable rankings across models.(claim)
- Mirror and Deathbed tests measure orthogonal facets of quality; what feels most alive differs from what merits preservation.(claim)
- Numeric scoring on aesthetics is measurably unreliable; inter-scorer agreement on 0–10 scale for taste is poor.(claim)
- Quality without a name cannot be captured by checklist; it must be chosen through forced-choice comparison.(claim)
- Roughness in responses decreases with parameter count within same-alignment model families, operationalizing the cost of polishing.(claim)
- Smaller models produce more alive responses than larger ones in the same alignment family—roughness signals living process over manufactured polish.(claim)
- The 15 Properties checklist is implementable and scales beyond Alexander's original small-N book studies.(claim)
- The 15 structural properties decompose aliveness into inspectable formal components measurable on individual responses.(claim)
- What you would preserve (Deathbed test) correlates with what you value and may serve as an alignment proxy.(claim)
