Statement

The expert is a logical inductor whose knowledge of its own estimates is only asymptotic, so Step 1 of the written proof, which asserts Γ ⊢ E*(D) = 0, is unavailable, and the theorem's conclusion rests on transferring the expert's asymptotic bounds E^A_n(±D_n) ≳_n 0 to the novice.

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/total-trust-implies-mart.md, What the theorem costs, honestly, H2: "Step 1 uses provable introspection. If the expert's self-knowledge is only asymptotic (an LI stage knowing its own prices approximately), the weight is not provably 1 but is an observable, eventually-decided quantity converging to 1"; "This bookkeeping is routine but has not been written out."

Notes

The picture the roots need. Its conditional is where the attack on the proof lands and where the repair node, once traced, argues it back up: the response to this picture is an estimate event on its conditional, citing tt-mart-repair-via-bounds-transfer, not a new row.
