- Key element for alignment faking: model's pre-existing preferences contradict the new training objective
- Behavioral and stated consistency that implies the model is pursuing some objective, without claiming genuine internal states
- The ability of active inference agents to learn their own prior preferences over outcomes by accumulating Dirichlet parameters from experience.
