Abstract
We consider the problem of approximating optimal stationary control policies by quantized control. Stationary quantizer policies are introduced and it is shown that such policies are “-optimal among stationary policies under mild technical conditions. Quantitative bounds on the approximation error in terms of the rate of the approximating quantizers are also derived. Thus, one can search for”-optimal policies within quantized control policies. These pave the way for applications in optimal design of networked control systems where controller actions need to be quantized, as well as for a new computational method for the generation of approximately optimal Markov decision policies in general (Borel) state and action spaces for both discounted cost and average cost infinite horizon optimal control problems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
