Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A discussion analogizing alignment via internalized values (cells "not wanting" to become cancer; people "wanting" to be good) versus alignment via external control/surveillance — an argument for endogenous alignment over coercive restraint. Directly relevant to Nathan's interest in compelled-vs-endogenous values and alignment-via-character.
