Statement
The expert's self-prediction mass concentrates on near-maximal-quoted options: the expert's probability of selecting an option whose quote is at least ε below the maximum tends to zero.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/open-problems.md item 1: "Show that an inductor-expert's self-prediction mass concentrates on near-max-quoted options"; "the sole remaining gap in hard self-endorsement".
projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/def-argmax-value/def-argmax-value-report.md, item 4 (concentrates_self; concentrates_of_folds).
Notes
Proved in the clean room for the self-expert (concentrates_self) and, from the fold clause, for any inductor expert (concentrates_of_folds); the wiki's open-problems item 1 has not been updated to say so (task open-problems-cleanroom-update).
