Statement

UDT over a Bayesian logical inductor pays in a single-instance counterfactual mugging whose two branches are correlated through its own later beliefs, by the decomposition argument the repository's BLI sources call the single-instance success thesis.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/references/bli/README.md, section on the //////////////// argument: "Later emails call it the argument for the single-instance success thesis (SIST)"; the email itself in projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/references/bli/soto-email-thread-2023.md.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/udt-bli-sist/udt-bli-sist-report.md (the verdict computed, found model-dependent) and projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/bli-witness-lia/bli-witness-lia-report.md (the mugging planted on FAF's inductor).

Notes

The clean-room run computed the verdict rather than assuming it and found the general verdict model-dependent, true on the planted witness; whether that computed verdict is this thesis as the 2023 thread argues it or a different claim is ATTRIBUTION-UNVETTED.
