# kaal:claim:6244278-024

**Claim.** Institutional alignment through engineered consequence is architecturally superior to exogenous constraint, and the superiority derives from three structural features: scalability, robustness to gaming, and capability complementarity.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- superiority is architectural, resting on scalability, robustness, and complementarity

**Source quote.**

> institutional alignment through engineered consequence is architecturally superior to exogenous constraint as an alignment strategy. The superiority derives from three structural features.
