Statement

Logical induction is modest at every finite day and immodest in the limit, so the asymptotic analogues of Reflection, Total Trust, the tower and Value collapse to one principle, as in DDB's immodest case.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md L30: "the setting is "immodest enough" that the LI analogues of all the above principles collapse into one, similarly to the immodest case in DDB's setting".

Notes

Read literally, with unscoped Value: false even for the self-expert, whose four epistemic notions all hold while Value fails (all_epistemic_notions_hold_and_value_fails). With Value scoped by regularity, the self-expert case is proved. Its improvement claim records the repair.
