How do symbiont sandboxes relate to concrete challenges in alignment?

Symbiont sandboxes themselves do not offer concrete technical tricks for helping with alignment. However, they provide a handy visual environment to observe the dynamics of multi-polar scenarios involving world-optimizers of various levels of capability. They might indirectly help find strategies for making agents coexist (e.g. by interweaving objectives, by adding mediators to destabilize Nash equilibria, etc.).
