Statement

Optimization, defined through endorsement and split into selection and control, characterizes Vingean agency in the maintainer's Meaning & Agency account, and that definition is an abstraction-theoretic one.

Source

The maintainer's post Meaning & Agency (LessWrong, 2023-12-19, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bnnhypM5MXBHAATLw/meaning-and-agency): optimization as a type of Vingean agency, split into selection and control variants, with endorsement and legitimacy as its new concepts.

Notes

The second clause (that the definition is abstraction-theoretic) is the filing session's reading, which the reconciliation task tests.
