Statement

The representation of value change as belief change on an expanded algebra can be improved until it reflects a trained system corrected through its training data well.

Source

Ruling 35 (the form: every literal claim a plan builds on carries a claim of its improvability); the routes are the note's own open directions, projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/value-change-as-epistemic-update.md, section 7.

Notes

The improvement claim on the base result (improves: value-change-is-belief-change; reality: a trained system corrected through its training data). The routes are the note's four open directions and a residual; each conditions on the base result (not an and, so on the node itself). Any route suffices for belief.
