Abstract
Subject to reasonable conditions, in large population stochastic dynamics games, where the agents are coupled by the system's mean field (i.e., the state distribution of the generic agent) through their nonlinear dynamics and their nonlinear cost functions, it can be shown that a best response control action for each agent exists which (i) depends only upon the individual agent's state observations and the mean field, and (ii) achieves an $\epsilon$-Nash equilibrium for the system. In this work we formulate a class of problems where each agent has only partial observations on its individual state. We employ nonlinear filtering theory and the separation principle in order to analyze the game in the asymptotically infinite population limit. The main result is that the $\epsilon$-Nash equilibrium property holds where the best response control action of each agent depends upon the conditional density of its own state generated by a nonlinear filter, together with the system's mean field. Finally, comparing this MFG problem with state estimation to that found in the literature with a major agent whose partially observed state process is independent of the control action of any individual agent, it is seen that, in contrast, the partially observed state process of any agent in this work depends upon that agent's control action.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
