Statement

A property of the reward process, stated without reference to the candidate agent, makes myopic optimality and policy optimality coincide, so that an updateless candidate's BRIA-recovery obligation has a domain.

Source

DECISIONS.md, Awaiting the author: "The recovery domain of the updateless extension", with the two candidate definitions rejected with witnesses (rewards independent of the agent's choices, too small; the history-based class, too large).

Notes

The AI proposal, rewards a function of the policy and exogenous state alone (the policy-fair environments of projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/decision-problems/directions/policy-level-fdt-learner.md), is filed as a proposal to test, not adopted.
