Genesis Alignment examines how artificial cognition might become better at recognizing emerging human thought and meaningful beginnings without attempting to reproduce or substitute for the embodied processes through which human beings create them. Its focus is genesical praxis.

The first task is recognition rather than reproduction. The programme therefore asks how models can become more attentive to the diachronic development of an idea, distinguish an emerging beginning from a merely polished result, and assist without appropriating the human process that gives rise to it.
