Statement
An operator's correction of the agent changes the agent's objective rather than its information.
Source
Reconstructed from Soares et al. 2015, section 1 and the shutdown model of section 2, where a correction replaces the utility function U by U*; the paper does not state it in this form.
Notes
The assumption of the anti-naturality root, now a table: the author's thesis lands here as the picture on which the correction is informative, and the i-flat reading on which it is noise is the picture under which the Soares et al. sentence holds. The Statement is the landed one, unchanged; the table was filed by the content stage of 2026-10-05 from projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/value-change-as-epistemic-update.md, section 4.1, read by the filing session as naming this assumption as the hidden one. The landed range on the leaf is marked stale by the protocol's rule for a leaf that became a table.
