Abstract
A method is developed to realize optimal channel input conditional distributions, which maximize the finite transmission feedback information (FTFI) capacity, often called $n$ -block length feedback capacity, by information lossless randomized strategies. The method is applied to compute closed form expressions for the FTFI capacity and feedback capacity, of nonstationary, nonergodic, unstable, multiple input multiple output Gaussian channels with memory on past channel outputs, subject to average transmission cost constraints of quadratic form in the channel inputs and outputs. It is shown that randomized strategies decompose into two orthogonal parts-an deterministic part, which controls the channel output process, and an innovation part, which transmits new information over the channel. Then a separation principle is shown between the computation of the optimal deterministic part and the random part of the optimal randomized strategies. Finally, the ergodic theory of linear-quadratic-Gaussian stochastic optimal control theory, is applied to identify sufficient conditions, expressed in terms of solutions to matrix difference and algebraic Riccati equations, so that the optimal control part of randomized strategies induces asymptotic stationarity and ergodicity, and feedback capacity is characterized by the per unit time limit of the FTFI capacity. The method reveals an interaction of the control and the information transmission parts of the optimal randomized strategies, and that whether feedback increases capacity, is directly related to the channel parameters and the transmission cost function, through the solutions of the matrix Riccati equations. For unstable channels, it is shown that feedback capacity exists and it is strictly positive, provided the power exceeds a critical threshold.

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
