    This paper presents a theoretical inquiry into the domain of secure artificial superintelligence (ASI). The paper introduces an architectural pattern tailored to fulfill friendly alignment criteria. Friendly alignment refers to a failsafe artificial intelligence alignment that lacks supervision, while still having a benign effect on humans. The proposed solution is based on a biomimetic approach to emulate functional aspects of biological consciousness. It establishes "morality" that secures alignment in large size systems. The emulated function set is drawn from a cross-section of evolutionary and psychiatric frameworks. Furthermore, the paper assesses the architectural potential, practical utility, and limitations of this approach. Notably, the architectural pattern supports straightforward implementation by activating existing foundation models. The models can be underpinned by simple algorithms. Simplicity does not hinder the production of high derivatives, that contributes to alignment strength. The architectural pattern enables adjustment of alignment strength, enhancing adaptability and usability of the solution in practical applications.
