Statement
The legitimacy event L is fixed by a third-person fact that the humans can check, rather than by the agent's own continuation.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/corrigibility/workflow-2026-09-14b/develop/legitimacy-general-final.md, Open problem 2 and Question Q2 (which third-person fact anchors L: the default overseer process, an idealized judge, or the agent's own continuation) (cited, not quoted). A related correction, projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/value-change-as-epistemic-update.md, section 2.3: the phrase "legitimate, i.e. accuracy-inducing" is an imprecise summary, and legitimacy is the event on which the agent trusts its update process (the note's rendering).
Notes
The anchor crux; it re-ranks every L-conditioned result's usefulness (the finite transfer, the gated Tower) and lowers the LI existence core under the own-continuation picture, where the LI content is empty toward a push. The third row is conditioned on the modification package's two-frames finding. The global-or-local form question posed alongside it is the question leaf legit-global-or-local-form. The weights are human answers.
