Bounded Agency and Reflective Freedom: Evaluative Revision, Information Limits, and Faithful Realization

Authority role

Finite evaluative revision, a sharp information bound, exact adaptive inquiry and faithful native realization.

Summary

Constructs finite agents that assess and revise decision rules, install endorsed changes and demonstrate their effect on fresh cases. Establishes a sharp information, mediation and endorsement inequality and the exact first shared query budget at which adaptive inquiry beats every fixed-count allocation in the specified model. Faithful native implementations retain paid access restrictions and declared realization assumptions. The web treatment adds a separate extended inquiry into philosophy and bounded control.
