Updatelessness is about coordination between possible versions of an agent. Coordination with more distant versions of an agent gets more difficult or less informative, and a stronger version of an agent can reach further. This results in many local commitments that coordinate more related versions of an agent.
These local commitments, as agents in their own right, can grow stronger and should themselves coordinate with each other, where their parents failed to reach. Commitment to a strategy that won’t itself engage in future rounds of coordination with its alternative possible forms (and other things) is a bad commitment.
