Odds Law: The Decomposition Algebra On How Intelligence Organizes Itself to Solve Difficult Problems Reliably
A new paper introduces "Odds Law," a decomposition algebra designed to understand how unreliable problem-solvers can be organized to reliably solve difficult problems. The research outlines combinators for creating compound solvers and derives composition laws for reliability and cost. Key findings include a verification odds law that amplifies correctness through independent gates and a reliability amplification theorem, demonstrating that high reliability can be achieved at logarithmic cost under specific conditions.
