Statement

The BLI picture of computational updatelessness, future belief states as observations with constraints on large beliefs, can be improved until it reflects a computationally uncertain agent that observes its own future beliefs well.

Source

Ruling 35's form, applied to the plan computational-updatelessness-direct. Content from the clean-room BLI area: projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/bli-exactness/bli-exactness-report.md (exact forms die, interval forms survive), projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/bli-linkage/bli-linkage-report.md (the syntactic small set), projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/bli-measure/bli-measure-report.md (B3).

Notes

The non-literal evaluation beside the direct route's literal one: whether the picture can be improved until it reflects an agent that observes its own beliefs, by relaxing the assumptions the run found fatal. Routes are the repairs the clean-room run performed or named; each conditions on the literal plan's probability as evidence, never as a part. Implicit in the run's repairs; not filed as a claim before this round.
