Statement

Deference Done Better's characterization of rational deference can be improved until it reflects rational deference between embedded agents well.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/01-primary/summer-research-plan-2026--research-ideas-may-2026.md: "I think the results in DDB are interesting as they are, and have something to teach us without fixing the definition of Value; however, I am curious how the results could be generalized to other notions of rational deference."

Notes

The improvement claim on ddb-value-iff-total-trust, the maintainer's 'Deference Done Better, Done Better' (section title of the summer plan). The reality phrase 'rational deference between embedded agents' is the filing session's reading assembled from the four route sections: the plan asks only how the results generalize to other notions of rational deference. Routes: a Jeffrey–Bolker decision format, a symmetric comparator, frames beyond finite, frames with self-reference, and the residual.
