Statement

The mupi paper's Theorem 5.33 construction, Self-AIXI failing to converge to AIXI, violates Theorem 1's premise at every history, because the honest self-hypothesis's posterior is held at or below ε/(1 − ε) by an pessimistic twin hypothesis that agrees with it on the actual path, for every reflective oracle.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/unbounded-embedded-lab/notes/02-mupi-c18-read.md: "residual decoupled case UNRESOLVED"

arXiv:2511.22226 (the mupi paper).

Notes

Confirmed in the lab's reading for the coupled case and for k = 1; the decoupled case with k ≥ 2 and γ^k ≥ 1/2 cannot be settled from the paper's lemmas, and the stronger gloss 'even as k → ∞' is refuted as stated. The clean room's sink-or-swim finding F-10 adds that the paper's Proposition 4.29, transcribed with tree-fixed rewards, is false.
