Are Dilemmas and Conflicts in LLM Alignment Solvable? A View from Priority Graph
arXiv 2603.15527·medium signal
Frames alignment conflicts — safety vs. helpfulness, honesty vs. harm avoidance — as a graph problem and proposes a priority graph structure for deterministic resolution. As LLMs operate more autonomously in agentic contexts, competing constraints increasingly produce inconsistent and unpredictable behavior. The priority graph approach offers a structured, inspectable alternative to ad-hoc system prompt heuristics for multi-constraint alignment.
