Statement

A model exists in which the dynamic conditions for things turning out well, with corrigibility as a subgoal, are formally established.

Source

The author, projects/deference/corrigibility-note-dump-2026-10-01/position-statement-v2.md, section 1.3: "we need to provide some sort of model in which this can be formally established in order for it to be convincing ... it does sound like a coherent position which should have some probabilistic representation in some formalism or other."

Notes

Placed in the dynamics frame because the quoted words name the model in which the dynamic conditions are established, which is this frame's plan. Filed from the owner's public words.
