Pillar: III. PACR field: Γ (Cognitive Split).
Computational mechanics fundamental theorem (arXiv:2601.03220): any data stream admits a unique decomposition into two inseparable projections of the same ε-machine:
S_T — statistical complexity (bits)
Minimum causal-state information needed to optimally predict the stream.
Rising S_T → the system is discovering learnable structure.
H_T — entropy rate (bits per symbol)
Residual unpredictability that cannot be further compressed.
Rising H_T → the system is encountering irreducible noise.
These two quantities are OBSERVER-DEPENDENT (the observer’s computational
budget T_budget determines the ε-machine approximation order) and
INSEPARABLE — removing either one from the record permanently loses
information that cannot be recovered from the other.
