提出可长期运行的AI系统理论,证明其结构老化可被控制在有限范围内。
A Long-Run Persistence Theory for AI Systems under the Redundancy-Adjusted Artificial Age Score (AAS)
- 引入冗余调整的人工年龄得分(AAS),动态评估系统在多轮迭代中的结构老化。
- 证明在循环运行中系统年龄始终有界,极端老化不会发生。
- 适用于需长期稳定运行的AI系统设计,如自动驾驶、智能机器人。
人工智能系统正日益需要在反复交互、适应与更新的循环中持续运行,而非单次输出。这引发一个根本性问题:系统能否无限期持久运行而不产生无界结构老化?本文基于冗余调整的人工年龄得分(AAS)构建了长期持久性框架。该模型将AAS从静态评价指标扩展为循环级函数,生成多轮操作下的年龄序列。每轮中,结构年龄通过组件一致性水平的加权、冗余感知对数惩罚定义。在该框架下,循环级年龄被证明是良好定义且均匀有界的,排除了爆炸式点态老化。在此基础上,论文定义了渐近状态层级,包括负担持久、零负担持久、振荡持久和累积终末负担。还建立了比较排序、敏感性边界、组件逐项稳定下的收敛性、有限总变差下的持久性、阻尼周期扰动下的几何稳定性和非退化冗余条件下零负担表征。主要结论是:无限循环运行无需无界结构老化;系统可历经无限循环而结构年龄保持有界;在更强正则条件下,其边际老化消失,最强状态下循环级负担收敛至零。该框架为长期人工持久性提供了形式化基础,将其视为有界结构负担问题,而非必然的累积退化。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly expected to operate over repeated cycles of interaction, adaptation, and update rather than through isolated one-shot outputs. This raises a fundamental theoretical question: can an AI system persist indefinitely without incurring unbounded structural aging? This paper develops a long-run persistence framework for AI systems based on the redundancy-adjusted Artificial Age Score (AAS). The model extends AAS from a static evaluative measure into a cycle-level functional that generates an age sequence across repeated operation. At each cycle, structural age is defined through a weighted, redundancy-aware logarithmic penalty over component consistency levels. Within this framework, cycle-level age is shown to be well defined and uniformly bounded, thereby excluding explosive pointwise aging. On this basis, the paper defines a hierarchy of asymptotic regimes, including burdened persistence, zero-burden persistence, oscillatory persistence, and cumulative terminal burden. It also establishes comparative ordering, sensitivity bounds, convergence under componentwise stabilization, persistence under finite total variation, geometric stabilization under damped inter-cycle perturbations, and a zero-burden characterization under nondegenerate redundancy conditions. The main result is that indefinite cyclic continuation does not require unbounded structural aging: an AI system may pass through infinitely many cycles while its structural age remains bounded, while under stronger regularity conditions its marginal aging vanishes and, in the strongest regime, its cycle-level burden converges to zero. The framework thus provides a formal basis for analyzing long-run artificial persistence as a problem of bounded structural burden rather than inevitable cumulative deterioration.
