Statement

A representation of one agent interpreting another as a belief-haver, in which the two agents' givens are related by a map rather than assumed identical, carries a correspondence between their concepts.

Source

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/roadmap.md, Stage 4: "Rather than assuming a common set of "givens" between the two agents, look at a richer representation of Alice interpreting Bob as a belief-haver."

Notes

A candidate generalization from the roadmap; reading it as a plan item is the filing session's. Filed as an or over two candidate representations: a latent-model comparison with a morphism between the givens, and the superconditioning document's common-information structure with approximate homomorphisms.
