Unified Epistemic Constraint Theory (UECT): A Principle Framework for Latent Structure Inference Under Probe Constraints

Key Points

• The research aims to formalize and derive principles on inference limits in latent systems under constraints.
• Developed a framework based on information theory and axiomatic principles.
• Examined probe-relative validity and irreducible uncertainty bounds.
• Defined structural inference conditions for interventions.
• Established a foundational theory applicable to partial observability.
• Demonstrated the relationships between probe constraints and inference validity.
• Outlined conditions that delineate structural inference in uncertain systems.
