Abstract

Formal bridge between information-theoretic compression and strategic communication. Version 2.0: Three worked numerical examples for Theorem B. R(D,P,Q) surface plots. Full RLHF mapping: model=sender, evaluator=receiver, reward model=Q, KL penalty=P, sycophancy=Δ_gen. At σ²_θ=1, b=0.1: Δ_gen=0.274 (27.4% distortion from conformity). RLHF prediction correlation r=0.993. Common randomness assumption addressed.
