Aaroth shares Agreement Theorem lecture: round-wise calibration achievable without distributional assumptions
Aaroth · x · 2026-11-02
Aaroth shared a lecture on the Agreement Theorem (Aumann's agreement result), adding a technical nuance: the theorem's reliance on Bayesian rationality and priors reduces to requiring that the "belief" at each round of conversation is calibrated conditional on the one-round prior.
Key points:
- This round-wise calibration can be achieved efficiently, without any distributional assumptions
- He links both the lecture video and the supporting material
- A theory-focused academic share rather than applied content
