Genes are selected through their replicas being more present. Values are data for delegation, and delegation extends influence beyond the principal. Principals are then selected through their influence, and no copying needs to be involved. But the resources under the influence of a principal are subject to their values, so in a post-alignment world they get coherently optimized, as a single design rather than as some sort of commoditized bulk goodness spoken of with mass nouns.
