projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/references/bli/logseq-journals/bli-journal-2025-01-25-epistemic-self-trust.md (the maintainer's journal): "A little philosophy: observing the beliefs is the only plausible alternative, once we've discarded the evidence partition assumption."
Notes
The maintainer's rationale for the direct route, two years after the Notion notes; the premise the plan computational-updatelessness-direct rests on, filed as its own claim so that it can be attacked.
