Statement
Epistemic trust in an AI inductor yields instrumental trust for the decision rule the AI actually uses.
Source
projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/open-problems.md, Research direction: trust the policy, not the decision rule (Abram, 2026-07-25): "TT ⟹ Value needed decision-theoretic assumptions, and was always going to: Value is an instrumental notion, and no decision rule is optimal across all embedded environments".
Notes
A crux of the line: it re-ranks the scoped refinement's tasks against the policy-level statement attempt and against the updateless programme (PRIORITIES.md item 103).
