Speaking as a non-expert: This is an interesting idea, but I’m confused as to how seriously I should take it. I’d be curious to hear:
Your epistemic status on this formalism. My guess is you’re at “seems like a good cool idea; others should explore this more”, but maybe you want to make a stronger statement, in which case I’d want to see...
Examples! Either a) examples of this approach working well, especially handling weird cases that other approaches would fail at. Or, conversely, b) examples of this approach leading to unfortunate edge cases that suggest directions for further work.
I’m also curious if you’ve thought about the parliamentary approach to moral uncertainty, as proposed by some FHI folks. I’m guessing there are good reasons they’ve pushed in that direction rather than more straightforward “maxipok with p(theory is true)”, which makes me think (outside-view) that there are probably some snarls one would run into here.
