We don’t need to describe the scenarios precisely physically. All we need to do is describe it in terms of the agent’s epistemology, with the same sort of causal surgery as described in Eliezer’s TDT. Full epistemological control means you can test your AI’s decision system.
This is a more specific form of the simulational AI box. The rejection of simulational boxing I’ve seen relies on the AI being free to act and sense with no observation possible, treating it like a black box, and somehow gaining knowledge of the parent world through inconsistencies and probabilities and escaping using bugs in its containment program. White-box simulational boxing can completely compromise the AI’s apparent reality and actual abilities.
