Statement

Because human value uncertainty is partly computational, the feedback humans can give an AI is limited to what they have computed so far, and a model of trust represents that limit.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/01-primary/summer-research-plan-2026--research-ideas-may-2026.md: "many things we wish to trust AI about are not directly observable"

Notes

The engineering-facing consequence of value-uncertainty-is-computational. Conditioned on the task value-uncertainty-formal-example, the smallest formal model in which the limit shows.
