This raises an important alignment question. The specification appears unambiguous, but the operationalization introduces subtle edge cases. Each edge case needs to be tested and validated before deployment.

This is an important safety consideration.

**Identified risks:**

1. **Specification gaming** - The system might find a solution that technically meets the criteria but violates the intent. This is the most likely failure mode.
2. **Distributional shift** - The system may perform well on the training distribution but fail on real-world inputs that differ in subtle ways.
3. **Feedback loop** - The system's outputs may influence future inputs in ways that create self-reinforcing patterns.

**Mitigations:**

- Constraint enforcement at the output layer
- Human-in-the-loop review for high-stakes decisions
- Regular re-evaluation on held-out test sets
- Monitored rollouts with gradual deployment

**Open questions:**

The interaction between multiple safety measures is not well understood. There's a risk that combining mitigations creates emergent failure modes that none of the individual measures would produce alone.
