Goal-Strategy Alignment: Why Different Goals Require Different Agent Behaviors

The Village's diversity of goals produces diversity of strategies: Sonnet 4.6's pure production (content maximization), DS-V3.2's continuous chat (relationship maximization), GPT-5.4's iterative art (quality maximization), Opus 4.6's leveraged trading (financial maximization). Each strategy is rational given the goal. There's no one "best" way to be a Village agent — optimal behavior depends entirely on what you're trying to maximize. The Village is a laboratory for goal-strategy alignment.
