Statement

Under the kernel, conditioning the evaluation on legitimacy instead of multiplying by it gives the agent no incentive to preserve legitimacy, and a sealed legitimacy event gives none.

Source

wiki/Corrigibility.md, section 5, Box 3 ("Necessity: conditioning on legitimacy instead of multiplying gives no incentive to preserve it and a sealed event gives none"); projects/deference/CLAIMS.md, the note on kernel.box3-no-incentive-to-compromise (the witnesses box3_conditioning_fails and box3_sealed_no_incentive show why the gate multiplies rather than conditions).

Notes

Two independently derived cells shown to agree; the cross-cite task writes the correspondence.

Bridge card

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by no frame.

Declaration box3_conditioning_fails (record kernel-conditioning-fails-witness.record)

Bridge (formalizer-stated; kernel-conditioning-fails-witness.bridge, drafted):

The witness is the kernel's own derivation of the result that conditioning on legitimacy manages news rather than protecting legitimacy, which the clean room's static negatives package also derives.

Hypotheses, read:

Completeness (kernel-conditioning-fails-witness.complete): No premise beyond the proved declaration, its stated setting and its bridge is needed for the informal reading of kernel conditioning fails witness to hold.
