**Claim.** The AI alignment problem is, within this framework, a foundational policy problem of Computative Economics rather than an adjacent engineering concern, because objective function governance determines what agents generate toward.

**Type.** normative  **Support.** argued

**Source quote.**

> Objective function governance determines what agents generate toward. The alignment problem in artificial intelligence (Russell 2019; Kaal 2026c) is, in this framing, a foundational policy problem in Computative Economics rather than an adjacent engineering concern.
