Propagating reported question prefixes through the actual hiding chain #
The adjacent hiding, terminal hiding/Read, and Read/Introspect tests preserve every earlier question prefix. Coarse-graining these accepted-answer relations before using consistency loops gives a polynomial chain loss, without an answer-cardinality factor or an assumption that claimed answers are CL images.
The reported question prefix, with a shared dummy outcome for answer constructors that do not fit the specified auxiliary question type.
Equations
- MIPRE.Introspection.TypedEstimates.reportedPrefix P m MIPRE.Introspection.AuxType.introspect (MIPRE.Introspection.ParsedAnswer.pair y a) = some (P.outputPrefix m y)
- MIPRE.Introspection.TypedEstimates.reportedPrefix P m MIPRE.Introspection.AuxType.sample (MIPRE.Introspection.ParsedAnswer.pair y a) = some (P.outputPrefix m y)
- MIPRE.Introspection.TypedEstimates.reportedPrefix P m MIPRE.Introspection.AuxType.read (MIPRE.Introspection.ParsedAnswer.read y yp a) = some (P.outputPrefix m y)
- MIPRE.Introspection.TypedEstimates.reportedPrefix P m (MIPRE.Introspection.AuxType.hide k) (MIPRE.Introspection.ParsedAnswer.hide y yp x_2) = some (P.outputPrefix m y)
- MIPRE.Introspection.TypedEstimates.reportedPrefix P m x✝¹ x✝ = none
Instances For
Every prefix already present at the earlier hiding level agrees on an accepted adjacent hiding edge, including arbitrary off-image claimed outputs.
The last hiding/Read test preserves every question prefix available at the last hiding level.
Read and Introspect preserve every question prefix in this orientation.
The actual auxiliary path starting at hiding level j, followed by Read
and Introspect. Beyond the endpoint it remains at Introspect.

Instances For
Every step of this path is an actual edge of the introspection graph.
Accepted answers on every actual path edge preserve the requested earlier prefix. There is no additional accepted-answer hypothesis in the final bound.
