jessi_cata: FDT Paper's Verbal Commentary Is Part of the Theory, Not Just Equation 4
jessi_cata · x · 2026-11-10
jessicata continues the FDT debate: the paper never gives an explicit formula for the dependency graph G, but its verbal discussion (subjunctive dependence, graph construction) is intended as part of the decision theory itself — Equation 4 references a graph structure, so the surrounding text that partially specifies how to build it cannot be treated as mere commentary.
