AGI alignment proven undecidable due to structural unverifiability

A new paper published on arXiv establishes theoretical limits on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) safety, proving that the core challenge is not the impossibility of an aligned state, but its structural unverifiability. The research introduces the Unverifiability Theorem of Alignment and the Theorem of Finite Structural Unverifiability of AGI Alignment, grounding these limitations at Trakhtenbrot's Wall. These findings demonstrate that current engineering defenses, which rely on finite hardware or halting architectures, cannot overcome fundamental logical obstructions, leading to an inescapable triad of containment failures.
