Statement

The expert's estimate of its own estimate of each bet differs from its estimate of the bet by a quantity tending to zero.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/total-trust-implies-value.md, Hypotheses, (H2): the expert asymptotically knows its own quotes.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/total-trust-implies-mart.md, What the theorem costs, honestly, H2: "If the expert's self-knowledge is only asymptotic (an LI stage knowing its own prices approximately), the weight is not provably $1$".

Notes

The asymptotic form of the landed exact assumption expert-knows-own-estimates, which it supersedes; the exact leaf keeps its place under the toy collapse, where its low number is the right number for the exact statement.

For the self-expert this is a theorem of the logical induction paper (the introspection family the clean room cites as epr; concentrates_self in def-argmax-value). For a distinct inductor expert it is the one hypothesis def-squeeze-diamond leaves on each arrow.
