Statement

The defense that the humans in the legitimate branch evaluate the quality of actions correctly needs inferability of illegitimate-world consequences from legitimate-world observables, ex-ante rather than posterior conditioning of the illegitimate term, evaluators who model the counterfactual for voiding actions, reference information independent of the agent's information gathering, and off-diagonal grades under the realized-terminal readout, each condition necessary in some fixture.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/legit-neg-pricing/legit-neg-pricing-findings.md, the item-064 table (one row per necessary condition, each mapped to the declaration that witnesses it in legit-neg-static, legit-neg-pricing or legit-neg-dynamic).

Notes

A cluster of finite results in leaf form; the conditions are theorems about the defense as stated.
