Statement

Soft Total Trust of the human inductor H in the AI inductor A, with A's chooser satisfying REGULARITY on an efficiently describable menu sequence, implies E^A_n(a*_n − a^i_n) ≳_n 0 for every option a^i_n and hence Value on that sequence.

Notes

The deck's first arrow. Its evidence parent is the Lean-checked scoped theorem read as an implication (li-deference-collapse-scoped@valid), which proves the same shape with conditional-stability H3 as the scope condition; whether the deck's REGULARITY is H3 is the question regularity-is-h3.

The clean room's audit of the slides (def-lattice-arrows findings F3) records that slide 19 writes s − ε for v − ε, a typo that changes no step.
