Truth Alignment Theory
Abstract
This project presents Truth Alignment Theory (TAT), an original theoretical framework describing truth as a relational condition defined by alignment between representational models and system behaviour under explicit boundary conditions. The paper introduces a structural approach to truth that avoids both absolutism and relativism, clarifies the role of abstraction and layering, and applies across mathematics, science, and complex systems. Mathematical expressions describe alignment behaviour rather than operational algorithms. This work is published as a foundational framework and is intended to invite critique, discussion, and further development.
