leaf/question · drafted
Statement
The legitimacy component that discounts pushes the agent itself caused enters the market as a constraint no learning revises, with every other part of legitimacy learned through retractions.
Source
The author in projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement.md, section 2.12: "Trust can be earned; it isn't a fixed commitment, though the prior should in some sense be skewed towards trust"; projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/corrigibility-bli-thread-and-early-questions-audit.md, section 3, question 2 (one unlearnable causal constraint, or trust earned under a skewed prior, and whether these are one object).
Notes
Question 2 of the audit, open in the repository. Its truth lowers the undetectable-manipulation risk story, which is why that story conditions on it.
