From 5fd675436237313696be5b45a9877fc169763b74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan James Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:43:43 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Restrict Wyner/exact/functional generative models to generator states A channel p(g | s+, s-) that renders S+ and S- conditionally independent need not be the state of a generator: the HMM built by applying it at both ends of every bidirectional edge generates the process only if I[G_0 X_0 : S-_1 | G_1] = 0 and I[S+_0 : X_0 G_1 | G_0] = 0. - minimal_generative_model and wyner_generative_model now optimize subject to both conditions (new module sofic.generators.lifted_common_information: SLSQP with analytic constraint Jacobians, continuation from the unconstrained problem, support-restricted refinement), so the reported value is the returned model's own and the exact value upper-bounds C_g. The silent functional fallback is removed; models carry markov_residual. - functional_generative_model searches deterministic partitions under the same conditions (exhaustive up to nine joint states, greedy merging beyond), so it always reproduces the process; dit's partition is kept when it already lifts. - BidirectionalEpsilonMachine.wyner_common_information() and exact_common_information() expose the unconstrained C[S+:S-] and G[S+:S-]. - Fix: the dit optimum was read with the reverse-state axis permuted whenever the support listed a higher-indexed reverse state first (dit numbers symbols by first appearance), giving channels that did not separate S+ and S-. The process in which every 1 is followed by at least two 0s is the simplest case where the conditions bind: its unconstrained exact optimum (1.406) is not the state of any HMM; the constrained value is 1.5. --- CHANGELOG.md | 16 + .../bidirectional_epsilon_machine.rst | 2 +- docs/generators/generative_models.rst | 90 +++- docs/references.bib | 11 + .../bidirectional_epsilon_machine.py | 14 +- sofic/generators/lifted_common_information.py | 486 ++++++++++++++++++ sofic/generators/minimal_generative_model.py | 346 +++++++------ tests/test_lifted_common_information.py | 149 ++++++ tests/test_minimal_generative_model.py | 81 ++- 9 files changed, 982 insertions(+), 213 deletions(-) create mode 100644 sofic/generators/lifted_common_information.py create mode 100644 tests/test_lifted_common_information.py diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 9311573..24889a0 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -7,6 +7,17 @@ brute-force reference or a closed-form value and has a regression test. ### Breaking changes +- `minimal_generative_model`, `wyner_generative_model`, + `functional_generative_model` and `generative_complexity()` optimize only + over generator states: besides `I[S+ : S- | G] = 0` they impose + `I[G_0 X_0 : S-_1 | G_1] = 0` and `I[S+_0 : X_0 G_1 | G_0] = 0`, the + conditions under which the HMM built from the channel generates the process. + The reported value is the returned model's own (no functional fallback), the + exact value upper-bounds the generative complexity, and models carry + `markov_residual`.
