## Question

[ai-alignment-control] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Alignment / control of more-capable agents. Statement: A method that keeps an agent more capable than its overseer inside a written spec (including not disabling the overseer), with an argument that survives the usual objections (wireheading, deceptive alignment, specification gaming). If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
