leaf/assumption · drafted

Statement

Because a logical inductor's own complexity class differs from the class of traders it is unexploitable by, no statement says that nothing better is achievable with the same compute, so logical-induction-based agency admits no selection theorem and is not a robust foundation.

Source

An objection stated here on its content: Garrabrant et al. 2016, Logical Induction, prove that their inductor is unexploitable by efficiently computable traders, while the inductor is computable but not itself efficiently computable, and they state no optimality result relative to the inductor's own class.

Notes

Filed as a shared claim of the logical-induction line because, if it holds, the line's results transfer less to the systems actually selected for. The step li-results-reach-selected-systems conditions on it (a negative edge). A candidate reply is bro-boi-bridge.
