deterrence-not-identified-on-path

and · drafted

Statement

Two decision problems with the same on-path data have opposite optimal policies, so no rule learned from on-path data gets both right and a deterrent value against policy-responsive attackers is not identified from terminals under the followed policy.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/legit-neg-dynamic/legit-neg-dynamic-report.md, D4_iv: on-path data does not identify the deterrence term.

Notes

Formal result in leaf form; the evidence parent of the picture under which a learned anger value replaces updatelessness.

Filed as a formal result (record, setting, bridge, completeness) in place of the one-sentence step the branch filed: what the kernel settled is the record, and what a human still checks is the bridge, whether the declaration says what this sentence says. The step's estimate (smithy-verity-224) stays in the ledger as history. The declaration is not in a claims registry, so the record reads not in a claims registry until it is registered.

Bridge card

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by legitimacy.

Declaration D4_iv (record deterrence-not-identified-on-path.record)

Bridge (formalizer-stated; deterrence-not-identified-on-path.bridge, drafted):

The declaration is the package's D4 (iv): on-path data does not identify whether deterrence is in force, so an anger term built from on-path data cannot tell the two policies apart.

Hypotheses, read:

deterrence-not-identified-on-path.setting definitional: A two-stage model with a deterrence-driven and a commitment-driven policy that agree on every on-path observation (the blackmail problem under S1 and S3), as the package fixes it.

Completeness (deterrence-not-identified-on-path.complete): No premise beyond the proved declaration, its stated setting and its bridge is needed for the informal reading of deterrence not identified on path to hold.
