Joseph Knecht, Brandon put “realizability” in the territory, whereas Eliezer put “reachability” in the map. Compare and contrast:
Brandon: When we speak of “could” we speak of the set of realizable worlds [A’] that follows from an initial starting world A operated on by a set of physical laws f.
Eliezer: We’ve previously discussed how probability is in the mind… possibility is also in the mind.
It is not the case that Eliezer is criticizing Brandon for the same mistake that Eliezer made himself.
