Statement

Vingean agency and the representation theorem for logical inductors are one problem under two descriptions, predicting a stronger agent's outcome without its moves being interpretable as an optimizer at an abstract level.

Notes

A crux of Stage 5: two starting points, in the agenda (May 2026) and in the roadmap (July 2026). It re-ranks the Vingean plan against the representation theorem; under the third picture the intentional-stance want connects to the arc directly. The pictures are readings of the two texts.
