Statement
A legitimacy-conditioned trust principle holds non-vacuously at the logical-induction register for an agent deferring to a teacher process, with the legitimacy event anchored in a third-person fact and a stated correction for beliefs formed under illegitimate conditions.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md, section 0.3: "To modify Tower in particular: expectations of the future should equal [expected future expectations, conditional on legitimacy] [probability of legitimacy] + [average corrected future expectations, conditional on illegitimacy] [probability of illegitimacy]. To modify Reflection: conditioning on legitimacy, reflection holds; that is, conditioning on legitimacy and our future self thinking x, we think x. The function from conditioning on illegitimate belief in x to y is the correction function." and "Legitimacy needs to be defined as a direct modification of the LI versions of Total Trust or Tower or Reflection".
Notes
A plan, filed as an or over three routes that each suffice: the maintainer's gated Tower stated toward a teacher; the finite-frame L-conditioned Total Trust theory relaxed to the LI register (a route shared with the improvement claim on that theory); and a gated form of the band limit-equality that Reflection's value form becomes in LI. The decomposition is the filing session's reading. Success is valued as the frame's top class, the convention this graph uses for plan roots.
