用数学理论定义解释的可计算边界,给出可验证的解释设计准则。

A Mathematical Theory of Interpretation: Rational Entropy, Spectral Readout, and Confusability as a Resource

  • 将解释建模为观察者相关的谱测量,以访问权限和实用目标为约束。
  • 零混淆状态对应唯一可识别原子,即使存在其他非原子态仍能准确选择。
  • 提供四条件验证框架,适用于需要可靠解释的AI系统设计场景。

本文呈现《解释的数学理论》(MTI)的核心内容,将解释视为在访问结构下的观察者相关谱测量。MTI将解释转化为方法设计问题:访问、查询、效用与媒介决定了观察者可选择、识别、传递或拒绝的内容。在学习不变的希尔伯特空间实现中,理性熵衡量知识、效用与媒介间的残余不确定性。在有限有效情形下,我们分类其零集。成对混淆等价于均匀原子坍缩,而唯一效用最大值可在其他零成本状态仍为非原子时选出单一原子。这逆转了混淆通常的零误差角色:至少一个观察方向的一致性排除多重原子读取,联合标签保留识别性。相应的自由设计容量是除最小方向预算外所有方向预算的乘积。四条件证书刻画了有限可交换码区段上精确、可解码、媒介忠实且顺序无关的读出,并在这些保证失效时返回类型化障碍。这些结果共同确立了MTI作为具有明确访问假设、保证与失败模式的解释方法构建理论基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This article presents the abridged core of \emph{A Mathematical Theory of Interpretation} (MTI), which treats interpretation as observer-relative spectral measurement under an access structure. MTI makes interpretation a method-design problem: access, query, utility, and medium determine what an observer can select, identify, communicate, or refuse. On a learning-invariant Hilbert realization, Rational Entropy measures residual uncertainty across knowledge, utility, and medium. In the finite-effective regime, we classify its zero set. Pairwise confusability is equivalent to uniform atomic collapse, while a unique utility maximum can select one atom even when other zero-cost states remain non-atomic. This reverses the usual zero-error role of confusability: agreement in at least one observer direction excludes unresolved multi-atom readings, while the joint label preserves identification. The corresponding free-design capacity is the product of all but the smallest direction budget. A four-condition certificate characterizes sharp, decodable, medium-faithful, and order-independent readout on a finite commuting code sector and returns typed obstructions when those guarantees fail. Together, these results establish MTI as a theoretical basis for constructing interpretation methods with explicit access assumptions, guarantees, and failure modes.
