Statement
The operator's correction carries information about what the agent values, so on the algebra that contains the correction the agent's utility depends on it and the correction changes the agent's information rather than its objective.
Source
The author's thesis of 2026-09-13 as republished in projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/corrigibility-discussion-outline.md (any change of utility function can be represented as a change in belief in an expanded sigma-algebra); projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/value-change-as-epistemic-update.md, section 4.1: for a Gandhi agent the correction carries no such information (corrections are noise and resisting them is right), for a corrigible agent in the author's sense it does (the public copy's wording).
Notes
The single place where the corrigibility line attacks the landed risk story; its weight is the branch's main evidential link between the thesis and the anti-naturality root.
