Statement

A legitimacy-weighted deference rule that is cautious about the consequences of its actions in illegitimate worlds needs no updateless reasoning by the agent.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/legit-neg-dynamic, declaration family_threshold: updateless and updateful verdicts part exactly at signal accuracy 7/9 on the signal-accuracy family.

Notes

Pictures: a learned value substitutes (the anger analogy); a narrow updatelessness with respect to legitimacy, statable as a proposition about the day's state, suffices; full updateless reasoning is needed; residual. Picture (c) is the same event as the updateless-dt branch's crux on tractability failing.
