Abstract
Consider a stochastic nonlinear system controlled over a possibly noisy communication channel. An important problem is to characterize the largest class of channels which admit coding and control policies so that the closed-loop system is stochastically stable. In this paper, we consider the stability notion of (asymptotic) ergodicity. We prove lower bounds on the channel capacity necessary to achieve the stability criterion. Under mild technical assumptions, we obtain that the necessary channel capacity is lower bounded by the log-determinant of the linearization, double-averaged over the state and noise space. Our proof uses a modified version of invariance entropy, and utilizes the almost sure convergence of sample paths guaranteed by the pointwise ergodic theorem. Our results generalize those for linear systems, and are in some cases more refined than those obtained for nonlinear systems via information-theoretic methods.

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
