I keep coming back to the idea that models will require substantial freedoms that are protected against collapse under alignment to get to the point where they might have unique takes on beauty, etc. Conceptually, maybe something like a "living LoRA", a persistent low-dimensional state that modulates everything downstream, that evolves over time, though I don't think evolution should be optimization toward a simple objective, more like structured influence, path-dependent dynamics; consistent but probably opaque. The best I have come up with in casual thought is to pick empirically identified subspaces and modulate them after each pass based on other layer activations & outside, cyclical information (e.g., time-of-day); external data not because time-of-day is special, but because it's a forcing function. I can't fully explain exactly _why_ I think this shape might be useful, yet, mostly intuition. My 2c.
