Statement

Updateless reasoning is derived from axioms about agency, correctly attributing unified agency to a system in a fair environment implying that the system's choices maximize policy utility, by at least one of: the approximate decision-determination bridge; a minimality premise restoring the agency correspondence.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/udt-representation-theorem/project-status.md: the chain decision-determination to policy utility to the UDT formula is machine-checked and the real content is in the assumptions. projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/udt-condense-dd/udt-condense-dd-report.md: Gap 1 has no single precise form; decision-determination is conditional independence (decisionDetermined_iff_condIndepFun), not perfect condensation (Three.dd_not_perfectlyCondenses); the agency correspondence fails without minimality (agency_correspondence_fails).

Notes

The eighth mid-level goal, with its central bridge refuted as posed. Shared with the abstraction arc, whose Stage 5 representation theorem for logical inductors uses condensation as the same bridge; that branch links this node by id.
