You basically just need full universality / epistemic competitiveness locally. This is just getting around “what are values?” not the need for competitiveness. Then the global thing is also epistemically competitive, and it is able to talk about e.g. how our values interact with the alien concepts uncovered by our AI (which we want to reserve time for since we don’t have any solution better than “actually figure everything out ‘ourselves’”).
Almost all of the time I’m thinking about how to get epistemic competitiveness for the local interaction. I think that’s the meat of the safety problem.
