Statement
Condensation models retrieval cost only and ignores computational cost, so it does not represent bounded computational power.
Source
Demski's LessWrong posts Condensation (2025-11-09, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/BstHXPgQyfeNnLjjp/condensation) and Condensation & Relevance (2026-01-23, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2x9yatKKTRMabQAWq/condensation-and-relevance): the first post's remark that condensation completely ignores computational cost, the only cost it models being retrieval cost, and still ignores bounded computational power like many other models of rationality.
Notes
The posts' reason, in the filing session's reading, why Stage 5 needs logical induction; it is the given parent of the Stage 5 candidate that abstracts over a logical inductor's prices.
