  • <p>Values are commonly treated as strong preferences or stable evaluative<br>attitudes. This work argues that values are neither preferences nor<br>intensified commitments, but hierarchically structured commitment<br>configurations. A preference constitutes local binding within a limited<br>domain. A value constitutes a meta-commitment that grounds and organizes<br>multiple object-level commitments across domains. Stability arises not<br>from conviction strength, but from hierarchical depth: alteration of a<br>root-level commitment cascades through dependent commitments, producing<br>high structural cost. Values are therefore commitment root nodes within<br>a constraint topology under irreversible time. Value learning is modeled<br>as the progressive formation of hierarchical binding structures, and<br>value change as large-scale reconfiguration of commitment trees.<br>Identity persistence is shown to depend on hierarchical stability.<br>Alignment, accordingly, requires preservation of commitment hierarchy<br>rather than reinforcement of isolated preferences.</p>
