Statement

A representation of beliefs about beliefs that admits Gödelian self-reference supports a weakened form of Deference Done Better's results.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/01-primary/summer-research-plan-2026--research-ideas-may-2026.md: "I expect there will be an appropriate weakening of the results which preserves their essential nature."; "It would be good to check whether this weaker notion of endorsement could imply a weaker notion of deference."

Notes

A route of ddb-value-iff-total-trust.improvable. The logical-induction route is the deference programme itself (done for the main triangle, li-deference-collapse); the route through Christiano's self-referential probability framework is not started.
