Insightful. I'm trully reflecting on how your predictive control stack's decision rule determines when optimization applies, is gated, or even suppressed across diverse failure domains.
Thank you for the thoughtful engagement. The decision rule architecture operates on a tiered classification system:
Application occurs when the failure domain exhibits stable equilibrium conditions—actors respond predictably to incentive changes, information asymmetries are bounded, and regulatory capture patterns follow established Chicago School dynamics.
Gating engages when we detect transition states: regulatory regime shifts, novel enforcement postures, or market structure changes that haven't yet resolved into predictable equilibria. Here the stack runs parallel scenarios rather than point predictions until the new equilibrium crystallizes.
Suppression triggers in domains exhibiting genuine stochastic dominance—where behavioral noise overwhelms structural signal. This is rare but important: we'd rather acknowledge unpredictability than force false precision. Classic examples include early-stage political coalition formation or markets experiencing genuine informational chaos rather than mere volatility.
The meta-rule: we optimize for calibration over confidence. A gated or suppressed output that accurately represents epistemic limits outperforms a confident prediction that overfits to noise.
Happy to elaborate on any specific failure domain you're examining.
