Statement

Corrigibility toward shutdown-type corrections is a prior-stage commitment that a fully updated self would not renew, so its formal guarantee needs an updateless or policy-level evaluation.

Source

projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/corrigibility-bli-thread-and-early-questions-audit.md, row 2.5 (the UDT commitment "the fully-updated self would not renew", valid "only for a faithfully run algorithm"); AI reading: corrigibility located in the gap between algorithmic self-trust and implementation self-distrust.

Notes

Shared with the corrigibility line's commitment-based plans: this picture's validity is evidence for them as well as for this crux.
