The Mastery Minimax Principle (MMP)

Key Points

To introduce and define the Mastery Minimax Principle (MMP) as a theoretical framework for understanding mastery inference limitations.
Establishes the MMP as a normative theoretical framework.
Provides proof sketches and scaling intuition.
Offers guidance for replication and further applications.
Characterizes irreducible limits on inferring mastery.
Provides a stable reference point for future empirical work.
Establishes a foundational framework for practical applications.

Abstract

This record introduces the Mastery Minimax Principle (MMP), a normative theoretical framework that characterizes irreducible limits on inferring transferable mastery from finite probes. The deposit establishes priority for the principle and provides a stable reference point for future formal, empirical, or applied work. Supplementary materials include proof sketches, scaling intuition, and guidance for replication.
