Statement
The accumulated probability that the process's legitimacy is lost along a finite trajectory is bounded by a quantity the theory computes.
Source
projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/related-chats/2026-07-05__theory-of-legitimacy__c1ab54d9.md, turn 17, the maintainer: "The legitimacy of the process can die, and we're trying to address the accumulated odds of that as things evolve."; the trajectory framing of projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v2.md, section 1.4 ("properties of the dynamics more so").
Notes
Conditioned on the composition theorems of the finite legitimacy theory, which are what a trajectory statement needs. The accumulated influence defect of the endpoint-preservation note (section 7.2) is a candidate bound with no theorem in its source.
