Right, I got confused because I thought your problem was about trying to define a measure of optimisation power—for ex analogous to the Yudkowsky measure—that was also referring to a utility function, while being invariant from scaling and translation but this is different from asking
“what fraction of the default expected utility comes from outcomes at least as good as this one?’”
Yeah this is the expectation of the Yudkowsky measure I think?
