uea-post-usc-backwards

and · drafted

Statement

The live post's argument that the modified best-response map stays upper semicontinuous fails: a strict reset inequality makes the reset region open, and in Instance B the strict-reset map has no closed graph and no fixed point.

Notes

The post's conclusion is not refuted; whether the modified map yields a reflective oracle in rOSI is untouched.

Bridge card

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by no frame.

Declaration Cleanroom.Uea.UeaColeShadow.InstB.not_hasClosedGraphOn_strict (record uea-post-usc-backwards.record)

Bridge (formalizer-stated; uea-post-usc-backwards.bridge, drafted):

The strict-reset map of the finite model is the map the live post's upper-semicontinuity argument is about, and its lack of a closed graph (with not_isStrictResetFP, no fixed point) blocks that argument.

Hypotheses, read:

Completeness (uea-post-usc-backwards.complete): No premise beyond the kernel-checked declaration and the reading its bridge states is needed for the claim of uea-post-usc-backwards to hold of the finite model.
