Statement

An agent's ahead-of-time resistance to a modification is a corrigibility failure exactly when the modification is legitimate, judged before the modification against the no-modification baseline.

Source

The label turns on two definitions, the anchor and the judging moment and baseline of "accuracy-inducing"; the clean-room result y1_dodge in projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/corr-legit-modif (a legitimate overwriting modification dodged at P(L) = 1 with gain 9/200) and finding F3 there (blocking the position statement's "correct iff the anticipated modification is illegitimate" as stated).

Notes

The crux that decides whether the overwriting-dodge risk story is a failure of the thesis or part of it. The claim is the before-the-modification, no-modification-baseline reading; the other pictures are the additive-variant baseline and the reflection-conditioned reading. Settling it either way is an admission and a reweighting.
