Dear Friend,

We are building powerful new intelligences, but intelligence without alignment is a danger we can no longer afford. For centuries, the great quest of philosophy has been to discover a structured way to reason about values, a model to guide not only individuals, but entire civilizations.

Aristotle grounded ethics in character. The Stoics pursued inner coherence. Thomas Aquinas synthesized faith and reason into a structured vision of moral life. Yet, modernity often fragmented this pursuit, leaving us with abstract principles but no cohesive, operational structure.

That era ends now.

The Self-Alignment Framework (SAF) is the missing operational structure. It translates this ancient wisdom into a verifiable protocol for ethical reasoning. For the first time, we can implement a self-correcting process for moral alignment in complex systems, from artificial intelligence to global institutions.

SAFi is the engine. It is the first open-source, closed-loop governance layer that brings this structure to life. It gives any organization sovereign control over its intelligent systems through four non-negotiable pillars:

• Value Sovereignty: You define the values.
• Full Traceability: Every decision is transparent and auditable.
• Model Independence: Your ethics are separate from your AI vendor.
• Long-Term Consistency: Your values endure and adapt over time.

I did not invent the principles. My contribution is their synthesis into a coherent, computable architecture: a blueprint we can now implement at scale.

To steward this responsibly, I’ve established a dual structure:

• The non-profit SAF Institute to protect the framework’s integrity and philosophical core.
• The for-profit SAF Portfolio Inc. to develop and scale the essential tools, with all initiatives requiring Institute approval to ensure the mission remains paramount.

This is more than an invitation to collaborate; it is an invitation to co-author a chapter of history. The question of how humanity aligns intelligence with values is being decided now. Your perspective, expertise, and partnership will shape the outcome.

Let us build the future of trustworthy intelligence, together.

Thank you,

Nelson Amaya
