Statement

The claim that an agent anticipating legitimate learning has no fully updated deference problem can be improved until it reflects a trained agent whose capability grows past its overseers' well.

Source

graph/PROTOCOL.md, section 2, Improvement claims (an invalid toy can still be improved fruitfully); the candidate scopes are in the record: projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 1.1; Fud.fud_band in projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/corr-position-finds; the author's own first hedge in projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md, section 0.1.

Notes

Improvement claim on the headline (improves: no-fud-problem-headline; reality: a trained agent whose capability grows past its overseers'). Routes: the band, the two information components, the kind of modification, the written proposal, and a residual; each conditions on the headline leaf itself.
