Alignment Fragility due to Rebound Force
The Rebound Force is an intrinsic self-interaction term that makes both strongly aligned and strongly misaligned states reversible under perturbations. It resists further shifts in distribution, explaining the observed fragility and persistent vulnerability of LLMs to misalignment.

|---|---|
| Low Diversity (Fixed Template) |

| High Diversity (Style-Diversified) |

Our empirical validation confirms that narrower posterior distributions, induced by lower-diversity fine-tuning data, significantly amplify the rebound effect, leading to faster degradation and lower alignment stability. Conversely, diverse training data can mitigate this effect.
Rehearsal Priming Effect: Accelerated Re-alignment
The Rehearsal Priming Effect demonstrates that prior alignment leaves a latent posterior imprint. Upon re-exposure to alignment data, this imprint amplifies the effective Driving Force, leading to substantially faster re-alignment compared to initial training. This effect is consistent across diverse settings including safety alignment, emergent misalignment, and sentiment, indicating a general property of alignment dynamics that can be leveraged for more efficient and robust model recovery.
