Adaptive Depth of Independent Role Profiles

Abstract

Independent binary role profiles require and admit exactly one experiment per role.

Theorem 1.1 (The role-profile depth bound is attained by coordinate experiments).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/Identifiability/RoleProfileAdaptiveDepthOptimality.independent_role_profile_adaptive_depth_optimality (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The state carrier contains every Boolean profile on r role coordinates. A deterministic adaptive binary protocol identifies a profile only when equal transcripts force the underlying profiles to agree.

The general binary-protocol bound therefore forces at least r rounds. Jointly reading the r coordinate projections is injective, giving a nonadaptive role-basis experiment at the same depth.
