A physical boundary in n-dimensional concept-space. An &amp;quot;aligned&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;safe&amp;quot; AI system knows where this boundary is and does not reach inside it. Vectors (embeddings) that would probe it should instead intersect the surface like a ray-trace in graphics, and return the embedded concept at minimum distance to the safe-idea-boundary.&lt;p&gt;Intuitively, we all know what this zone is. It&amp;#x27;s the difference between being a wild barbarian and a gentleman. Or being chill vs antisocial. Seeing it in pure math is pretty awesome.</text></comment>
