condensation-correspondence-theorem.improvable

or · drafted

Statement

Eisenstat's correspondence theorem for condensation can be improved until it reflects concepts shared between reasoning agents and kept across changes of theory well.

Source

Ruling 35 (the form). projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/roadmap.md, Stage 4: "Spend real time analyzing the notion of function, and the notion of isomorphism, involved" and "a dynamics of theories". Demski's LessWrong posts "Condensation" (2025-11-09) and "Condensation & Relevance" (2026-01-23) for the algorithmic, variable-cost and storage-retrieval directions.

Notes

The improvement claim on condensation. Its routes are directions from the two posts and the roadmap, each conditioned on the theorem's validity as an implication; the theorem's being kernel-checked is evidence for improvability, not a condition of it.
