Statement

Not preventing, not causing and not escaping a modification through successors follow for general modifications from the nonnegative value of information, the value posterior and the channel's value respectively.

Source

projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 2's "three sources" sentence, the claim this question tests for general modifications.

Notes

The open part of the agent-side content. Whether the three-sources sentence holds for general modifications as written is the question; the status of the exogenous term iota is a separate decision (iota-exogenous-term).
