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.
