Statement

The representation extends from belief changes absolutely continuous with the current state to changes of the sigma-algebra, so that a value change toward a target outside the convex hull of the prior's support is represented.

Source

projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/value-change-as-epistemic-update.md, section 7 (ii) and section 2.2 (the richness condition); the author in projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v3.md, section 1.2: "In the current scope it seems most natural to consider any belief updates meeting the conditions for superconditioning, ie, absolute continuity. I also want to consider the possibility of sigma-algebra changes, which I think is not so difficult to do, but perhaps we should study the case without sigma-algebra changes thoroughly first."

Notes

Deferred by the author to after the absolutely continuous case; the want want-sigma-algebra-changes records that deferral in his words.
