If I think about preserving system integrity over time, or an agent preserving goal integrity over time, I think of the ability for the system/agent to move through a wide variety of environments without being broken / fundamentally changed in ways it doesn’t want by outside forces. This conceptualisation of integrity—being able to preserve the core parts of you and your goals over time—seems good to me. (Reminds me of Ray / Critch talking about being a robust agent.) Someone with integrity is wholly them and will stay whole over the long run, even if crazy things are thrown at them. It’s not a claim about their competences/goals/beliefs now, it’s a claim about the long-term integrity of their competences/goals/beliefs.
