Revelation Control
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.23860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Revelation Control is the problem of choosing priced interventions that reveal hidden state only insofar as the revealed distinctions can change a consequential decision, while accounting separately for any useful progress created by the intervention itself. We develop this theory for learning systems, where states equivalent under declared current information can respond differently to future training and favor different actions. The framework defines decision-sufficient revelation and revelation depth, separates pure information value from pr
