Statement

A calibrated agent shapes its training data to dodge a modification that is legitimate by the global legitimacy-conditioned criterion at probability one of legitimacy, wherever its own information selects acts of higher expected value, by its own lights, than the overwriting modification would.

Source

The clean-room results y1_dodge (gain 9/200) and y1Frame_one_legitimizingTT in projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/corr-legit-modif, with finding F3 there blocking the position statement's "correct iff the anticipated modification is illegitimate" as stated (projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 2).

Notes

Threatens: the channel frame's agent-side content and the corrigibility line's plans; whether it is a failure at all turns on the judging-moment crux. A risk story the corrigibility work itself produced: it shows a probability and a status and enters the comparison through the plans whose tables cite it. No outcome class is tagged (tagging a failure class is a human judgment under the protocol's rule on classes), so its failure mass goes to the default trajectory until a human tags it.

A root of corrigibility-landscape, the sub-frame whose plans it threatens; the top frame keeps only stories at the level of its own question.
