Statement

A novice's Total Trust in its own future self, composed with the expert's calibration to that future self, yields deference to the expert as an inference.

Source

projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/wiki/open-problems.md item 14 ("Does trust compose? (~0.5.)"); projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/varying-question-lab/varying-question-synthesis.md §5: "Open problem 14 (does st + Half 1 compose?): NO as an inference (0.90; route-transitivity, convergent with route-recurring-ccee §7.2)".

Notes

Refuted as an inference in the one-way setting by two independent lab routes; the wiki's item 14 has not been updated. Positive residue: Theorem B.
