Statement

In the sink-or-swim model with a fixed non-dogmatic prior, the trapped policy is a plain fixed point exactly when b(1 − s) ≤ c, and such a trap satisfies Theorem 1's premise while missing its conclusion by an amount that does not shrink with δ.

Notes

The δ-freeness of the trap condition is the refutation of the printed 2025 theorem (uea-printed-2025-refuted). The package also records the floor at Instance B as a chicken rule (FiveTen.instB_floored_not_plain), the first step of uea-improbable-actions.

Bridge (formalizer-stated; uea-sink-or-swim-trap.bridge, drafted):

The sink-or-swim model is a finite instance of Cole Wyeth's setting with a prior-sourced trap, and the δ-free trap condition is what makes it a counterexample to a δ-uniform conclusion.

Hypotheses, read:

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