leaf/question · drafted
Statement
The landscape of trajectory conditions carries a coordinate for the humans' attainable utility from stopping, so that an agent legitimate on every route, honest, non-eroding and never pressed while it entrenches itself is marked by some condition.
Source
Alexander Matt Turner, Dylan Hadfield-Menell and Prasad Tadepalli, "Conservative Agency via Attainable Utility Preservation" (AIES 2020), for attainable utility; the trajectory conditions of dynamic-conditions-for-going-well and the package projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/corr-power-channel.
Notes
The gap, in the filing session's reading: no current condition marks the entrenching agent. Where the coordinate is placed is a human's call; the derivation is an agent's.
