DisCo Algebra paper explores probability decomposition limits

A new paper introduces DisCo algebra, a compositional framework for joint probability that utilizes block-wise joint cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for data compression and reconstruction. The framework demonstrates that while combination followed by disintegration is an identity operation on admissible inputs, the reverse process defines a renormalization operator. The information loss associated with this operator is quantified by probability curvature, which measures the difficulty in achieving lossless decomposition and highlights limitations in capturing cross-block dependencies using CDF-based scalar summaries.

    DisCo Algebra: Why Disintegration and Combination Are Not Inverses

    arXiv:2610.15006v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present DisCo algebra---a compositional framework for joint probability built from a symmetric cooperad (disintegration) and a non-unital partial symmetric operad (combination restricted to the image of disintegration) …
