"""entropy_epiplexity.py - Pass 3 projection of the "From Entropy to Epiplexity" lecture.
PURPOSE
-------
A small Python program that demonstrates the constructive form of the
lecture's information-theoretic primitives (Shannon entropy, cross-entropy,
KL divergence, epiplexity) using the manual_slop convention.
The program illustrates:
- Shannon entropy: H(X) = - sum_x p(x) log p(x)
- Cross-entropy: H(p, q) = - sum_x p(x) log q(x)
- KL divergence: D_KL(p || q) = sum_x p(x) log(p(x) / q(x))
- Epiplexity: the "epiplexity function" measuring memorization in NN training
- Markov chain: Markov<X, Y, Z> where X -> Y -> Z (R4 NEW v2)
- PolyTimeAdversary: the security model (R6 NEW v2)
ENCODING (per lexicon v2 Rule 5)
--------------------------------
Probability : float (placeholder), resolved as float64
Entropy : float (placeholder), resolved as float64
Bits : float (placeholder), resolved as float64 (units of entropy)
Markov<X, Y, Z> : type-class predicate where X -> Y -> Z (R4 NEW v2)
PolyTimeAdversary : type where runtime(A) : Polynomial(security_parameter) : int64 (R6 NEW v2)

# entropy_epiplexity — Pass 3 Notes
**Track:** `video_analysis_deob_pass3_20260623`
**Date:** 2026-06-23
**Language:** Python (per the per-language default in `TIER2_STARTER.md` §3)
## Decisions made
1. **Language:** Python (default; per `TIER2_STARTER.md` §3 cluster A row 3).
2. **Conventions:** manual_slop (1-space indent, type hints, no comments, Result[T] for errors).
3. **Type system:** `dataclass(frozen=True)` for value semantics; `TypeAlias` for primitives.
4. **Markov chain:** encoded as a `MarkovChain` dataclass with `is_markov()` validation (rows sum to 1).
5. **Epiplexity:** simplified model — `max(0, H(p_data, q_estimate) - H(p_data))` with decay factor.
## Alternatives considered
1. **C11:** could have used C11. Rejected because the lecture is heavily information-theoretic; Python's typing makes the formulas explicit.
2. **NumPy:** could have used NumPy. Rejected for the same reason as probability_logic.
## Language override (none)
Per `TIER2_STARTER.md` §3, the default for this video is Python. No override applied.
## 4 + 3 verification criteria (per v2 lexicon §7 of `TIER2_STARTER.md`)
| # | Criterion | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Lossless** | met | All 7 concepts from the translation table are represented. |
| 2 | **Bounded** | met | No `∞_val`; all values are finite. |
| 3 | **Constructively typed** | met | Every expression has a type hint. |
| 4 | **Etymology-cited** | met | Every new term has 1-line origin + 1-line history. |
| 5 | **Encoding-explicit** | met | Every value-bearing term has an encoding. |
| 6 | **Form-anchored** | met | Every re-encoding has a form anchor in the translation table. |
| 7 | **User-specific opt-in** | met | The principled form is produced. |
## Hardware target (per v2 lexicon §7 of `TIER2_STARTER.md`)
Per user 2026-06-23, "target up to 10k." Default workstation: Ryzen 9 / i9, RTX 4090, 128GB DDR5, 4TB NVMe.
This video's concepts map to:
- **Entropy estimation:** bounded to finite distributions; no special hardware needed.
- **Epiplexity in NN training:** requires a GPU for the actual training loop; the epiplexity_estimate function is a simplified post-hoc model.
- **Markov chain stationary distribution:** converges in O(n) iterations for an n-state chain; no special hardware needed.
## Refinements discovered (Pass 3 → lexicon v3 candidates)
1. **Epiplexity as a Tier 4 term:** the epiplexity function is a NEW v2 term; v3 should formalize it.
2. **Markov<X, Y, Z> as a type-class predicate:** the R4 NEW v2 entry could be extended to a generic type-class pattern for stochastic processes.
## Gaps identified (concepts the code couldn't capture)
1. **Full epiplexity function:** the simplified model doesn't capture the time-dependent decay of memorization in NN training.
2. **Adversarial robustness:** the PolyTimeAdversary is a simplified security model; the real one involves interactive proofs, knowledge extractors, etc.
3. **Information bottleneck:** the lecture covers the information bottleneck method; not implemented here.

**Target:** `entropy_epiplexity.py`
**Method:** Per v2 lexicon Rule 2 (form-anchor) + Rule 5 (encoding-explicit)
| # | Math / concept | Python form | Form anchor | Encoding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `H(X) = - sum_x p(x) log p(x)` | `shannon_entropy(probs) -> float` | bounded: finite `probs` list | `Entropy : float` |

| 3 | `D_KL(p \|\| q) = sum_x p(x) log(p(x)/q(x))` | `kl_divergence(p, q) -> float` | bounded: `p > 0` and `q > 0` | `Entropy : float` |
| 4 | `epiplexity(t) = max(0, H(p_data, q_estimate(t)) - H(p_data))` | `epiplexity_estimate(p_data, q_estimate, training_step)` | bounded: `memorization` clamped to >= 0 | `Entropy : float` |

| 7 | `nats -> bits` (unit conversion) | `bits_to_nats`, `nats_to_bits` | bounded: linear conversion | `Entropy : float` |
**Notes:**
- Per v2 lexicon §9.2, the per-language rendering is the same as C11.
- The `epiplexity_estimate` function is a SIMPLIFIED model; the real epiplexity function is more complex.
- The Markov chain is checked for stochasticity (rows sum to 1) via `is_markov()`.
