Statement
The two-step, two-utility, one-button shutdown model of Soares et al. 2015 can be improved until it reflects trained systems corrected through data, loss and hardware well.
Source
Ruling 35: every toy a plan builds on carries its improvement claim. The improvement directions on record: the author's generalization to every modification (projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 1.2), the physical channel (projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 1.3), sequential and learned-utility settings (Armstrong's utility indifference line and Holtman's correction-function agents, in the published literature), and the training map (run 3, projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/corrigibility/workflow-2026-09-14b/plan/synthesis.md, agenda N2).
Notes
Improvement claim on the shutdown toy (improves: shutdown-button-toy; reality: trained systems corrected through data, loss and hardware). Its first route is realised in finite form by the general modification object; the others are the author's channel reframing, the literature's sequential direction, the training map, and a residual. Filed as a shared-claim root of the corrigibility-landscape frame.
