Statement

Computationally omniscient models provide analogies for bounded models in the way reflective oracles do for logical induction, and where the analogy is strained it can be improved.

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/01-primary/summer-research-plan-2026--research-ideas-may-2026.md: "I think computationally omniscient models can often be a good analogy for more bounded models, as reflective oracles are for logical induction."; "Again, my hope is that the computationally omniscient case can help by way of providing good analogies."

Notes

The maintainer's methodological stance in the summer plan; it is picture (b) of the representability crux. Conditioned on self-knowledge-substitution, the mechanism the same paragraph gives for the analogy.
