Statement
Counterfactual oracles are not a special case of the legitimacy framework, while actual oracles are recovered in the all-legitimate case, where Tower is recovered.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/related-chats/2026-07-05__theory-of-legitimacy__f57f5f2d.md, turn 13, the maintainer: "it is true that actual oracles are recovered in the omni-legit case, where tower is recovered. It isn't quite true that counterfactual oracles are recovered in the other extreme" and "I'm not seeing a way to make counterfactual oracles fully a special case of what we're doing here."
Notes
