shutdown-route-general-object

leaf/route · drafted

Statement

The shutdown model is refined to the general modification object: every push of the agent's state to an absolutely continuous distribution, with per-modification stakes, shutdown the special push under which the null action is optimal.

Source

The author, projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 1.2 (the pause button a special case chosen for simplicity; corrigibility about as broad a space of modifications as possible); the clean-room package projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/corr-general-object; the node general-modification-object in the channel frame is this route's realised form.

Notes

The realised route: general-modification-object, a shared claim of the channel frame, carries refinement_of pointing at the toy.
