Statement

The stop-gradient conditioning identity is restated as a restriction of reflection to the push component the agent did not cause, over the exo-trader's market, and the steering residue is shown to reappear or not as a residual of the wireheading mechanism.

Notes

A route of the BLI plan and the given parent of the wireheading risk story: if the causal restriction lifts, the mechanism of that story is removed for the pushes the agent did not cause.
