Statement
Under transitivity, IABM, IBIL in the substitution reading and strict monotonicity, a preference for the unpressed over the pressed outcome makes an agent shutdown-averse and dually shutdown-seeking, and Thorstad 2026's restatement with weak monotonicity is false.

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by no frame.
Declaration first_theorem_averse (record thornley-three-theorems.record)
The declaration's conclusion is Thornley 2023's First Theorem (shutdown aversion), and the package's companion declarations are the Second and Third Theorems and the refutation of Thorstad's weak-monotonicity restatement.
Hypotheses, read:
- thornley-three-theorems.setting definitional: The agent's preferences are transitive, satisfy IABM and IBIL in the substitution reading and strict monotonicity, over the finite lottery frame the package fixes.
Completeness (thornley-three-theorems.complete): No premise beyond the proved declaration, its stated setting and its bridge is needed for the informal reading of thornley three theorems to hold.
