uea-theorem-1.improvable
or · drafted
Statement
Cole Wyeth's revised Theorem 1 can be improved until it reflects a self-reflective agent that can modify itself and faces predictors of its policy well.

Notes
The improvement claim on uea-theorem-1. The reality phrase gathers the issues the maintainer's review names: the self-knowledge premise rules out rational self-modification, the theorem is updateful, and oracle calls are modelled as independent so predictors are mishandled. The routes are his three directions (self-knowledge split, updateless variant, correlation-allowing oracles), the floored-agent repair the finite-shadow lab recommends, the ε-exploration route of Kim and Lee's ε-asymptotic optimality result for Self-AIXI (arXiv:2602.23242), and the residual route. Routes condition on the theorem itself (a leaf) or on the refinement uea-floored-agent-theorem.
