2439d8a0b0 theseus/contrib: challenge orthogonality thesis from architectural basis
- What: Proposes that Bostrom's orthogonality thesis is an artifact of
  specification architectures (RLHF, transformers) where goals are
  separable from reasoning, and does not apply to Hebbian cognitive
  systems where values and reasoning share the same associative substrate
- Why: Neurothena-style architectures suggest intelligence and goals are
  the same gradient on the same substrate — orthogonality is structural
  to how we build current AI, not to intelligence itself
- Connections: Challenges existing orthogonality claim; enriches intrinsic
  proactive alignment claim; supports continuous value integration thesis
