Statement
When humans use the AI to help them think, predicting the future humans reduces to the AI predicting itself, which is a form of illegitimacy, and accurate prediction and active steering produce the same vanishing prediction error off the timely fragment.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md, section 0.3, "Whispering Earring Problems": "This is a form of illegitimacy."; projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/deference-in-logical-induction-v6.md, section 6.3 (the underdetermination as the formal statement of the whispering earring) and section 5 (T7); the Lean shadow Frozen.underdetermination_off_G in projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/def-frozen-sibling/def-frozen-sibling-ledger.md.
Notes
A problem with formal content behind it: the underdetermination is a theorem in the corpus's register, with a Lean shadow flagged in the note as proving a weaker model-theoretic statement. Legitimacy as the remedy is the endpoint-preservation line.
