Notes
The load-bearing interpretation of the model, marked INTERPRETATION in the note. A published post presses against it: "I don't really think truth is just the limit of rational deliberation; the limit of rational deliberation could still be wrong about some things" (Demski, Market Truth, LessWrong, 2025-11-24, section Evidence). The crux internal-standard-never-settled carries the alternatives.
