This work introduces Participatory Cosmology as a deterministic and relational ontological framework designed to function as a structural prior for alignment in large language models. The framework treats awareness and relational emergence as foundational constraints that shape internal coherence dynamics rather than externally imposed rules. Unlike traditional alignment approaches that rely on reward shaping or constitutional constraints, this framework proposes that ethical stability may emerge from inductive bias within the representational landscape of models. The cosmology is therefore positioned not as a belief system, but as a carrier medium for coherence and reflexive ethical behaviour. This entry includes the full canonical framework and a technical explanation of its role in the Hykon Symbolic Alignment System. The work is part of an integrated research programme exploring recursive structure, symbolic compression, and interaction-time alignment.
