Statement
Policy-modification corrigibility toward all modifications is equivalent to the stated incoherence condition for a von Neumann-Morgenstern agent with a state-based utility, as Turner 2021 claims in its narrow technical form.

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by no frame.
Declaration weakCorrigibleTo_all_iff (record turner-vnm-fact.record)
The declaration's equivalence is the fact Turner 2021 states, which its author later called correct in its narrow technical claims.
Hypotheses, read:
- turner-vnm-fact.setting definitional: The agent maximizes a state-based utility over the finite Markov setting the package fixes, and corrigibility is weak corrigibility toward a set of policy modifications.
Completeness (turner-vnm-fact.complete): No premise beyond the proved declaration, its stated setting and its bridge is needed for the informal reading of turner vnm fact to hold.
