New mathematical theory frames AI interpretation as spectral measurement

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces a novel mathematical framework for understanding interpretation, treating it as a spectral measurement process dependent on the observer's access and query structure. The theory defines "Rational Entropy" to quantify residual uncertainty across knowledge, utility, and medium, and explores how pairwise confusability can uniquely identify an intended outcome. It establishes conditions for sharp, decodable, and medium-faithful readout, providing a theoretical foundation for designing interpretation methods with explicit assumptions and failure modes. AI

IMPACT Establishes a new theoretical basis for constructing AI interpretation methods with explicit access assumptions and guarantees.

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

    arXiv:2608.23892v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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-de…
