Statement
An agent that conditions the future evaluation on legitimacy does not act to protect legitimacy where it could, and voids states where scores are low.
Source
The results B1 to B3 (projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/legit-neg-pricing/legit-neg-pricing-report.md, targets 1 to 4: thinning and the news); the kernel's own witness box3_conditioning_fails (wiki/Corrigibility.md, section 5, Box 3).
Notes
Threatens: the conditioning variant of the legitimacy-weighted rules. Confirmed by the kernel's own Lean. 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.
