The Personality Alignment (PGM‑PAL) AIM decides the stance the A‑User should adopt and produces the A‑User State that A‑User Formation renders. It is a reasoning AIM: knowing how the User feels and the context of the interaction, it judges what stance is appropriate for the A‑User, which is not the same as mirroring the User. If the User laughs, the A‑User laughing may be appropriate in a pub but improper in a church; Personality Alignment makes that judgement.
To make it, Personality Alignment needs two things only: the User’s internal state and the context. It receives the User State (an estimate of the User’s internal state) from User State Refinement as a one‑way input, sent autonomously whenever User State Refinement has reached a conclusion; Personality Alignment does not query for it. It obtains context as needed by consulting A‑User Storage, and may draw further context indirectly through its deliberation with Basic Knowledge. Personality Alignment is the sole producer of the A‑User State; User State Refinement reports only the User State and has no part in the A‑User State.
As a reasoning AIM, Personality Alignment is governed by A‑User Control under the principle that A‑User Control proposes and the AIM disposes. A PAL Directive sets a binding goal and may carry a proposed correction together with a Weight indicating how much importance Personality Alignment should give the proposal; Personality Alignment decides its own conclusion and reports, in the PAL Status, the stance it adopted and how it treated the proposal. Personality Alignment also participates in Basic Knowledge’s deliberation through the MCP exchange PALToBKN / BKNToPAL.
The PGM‑PAL AIM:
| Receives | PAL Directive | Goal and, optionally, a weighted proposed correction from A‑User Control. |
| User State | Estimate of the User’s internal state, sent one‑way by User State Refinement. | |
| BKNToPAL | Deliberation exchange from Basic Knowledge via MCP. Defined within the BKN-PAL Interaction schema. | |
| Produces | A‑User State | The Entity State the A‑User should adopt, sent to A‑User Formation. Personality Alignment is its sole producer. |
| PAL Status | Decision report to A‑User Control: the adopted stance and the treatment of any proposed correction. | |
| PALToBKN | Personality‑aligned contribution supplied to Basic Knowledge via MCP. Defined within the BKN-PAL Interaction schema. |
Personality Alignment also consults A‑User Storage on an as‑needed basis to obtain context, performing its own reads under the access rights A‑User Control establishes and A‑User Storage enforces.

4 SubAIMs (informative)
This section is informative. The decomposition into SubAIMs described below illustrates one conformant architecture for producing the normative outputs of PGM‑PAL. Implementations may adopt alternative internal structures provided they satisfy the conformance requirements of Section 8.

4.2 Operation
The PAL operation includes the following SubAIMs:
- Context Resolver
- Obtains the interaction context, consulting A‑User Storage as needed, and reconciles it with the User State so the stance decision is context‑aware.
- Stance Selector
- Selects the personality stance appropriate to the User State and context, applying role and locale constraints.
- A‑User State Composer
- Composes the A‑User State (the Entity State the A‑User should adopt) from the selected stance, incorporating any proposed correction according to its Weight.
- Deliberation Liaison
- Conducts the MCP exchange with Basic Knowledge, supplying PALToBKN and incorporating BKNToPAL.

8 Conformance Testing
Table 5 provides the Conformance Testing Method for the Personality Alignment (PGM‑PAL) AIM. Conformance Testing of the individual SubAIMs is given by the individual AIM specifications.
If a schema contains references to other schemas, conformance of data for the primary schema implies that any data referencing a secondary schema shall also validate against the relevant schema, if present, and conform with the Qualifier, if present.
| Receives | PAL Directive | Shall validate against PAL Directive schema. |
| User State | Shall validate against User State schema. | |
| BKNToPAL | Shall validate against BKN-PAL Interaction schema. | |
| Produces | A‑User State | Shall validate against A‑User State schema. |
| PAL Status | Shall validate against PAL Status schema. | |
| PALToBKN | Shall validate against BKN-PAL Interaction schema. |
