Stochology Protocol: Enriched Methodological Architecture for Judgment and Decision-Making under Uncertainty

This document establishes the consolidated, mathematically formalized specification of the Stochology Protocol for data architecture, stochastic modeling, causal inference, and structured inter-agent communication. It unifies operational decision-making with explicit algorithmic gates for performative prediction, decision theory under severe uncertainty, strong information contraction, tail design effects in unequal clusters, and formal production drift adaptation.

1. Deep Structural Diagnosis: Bridge Mechanics, Severe Uncertainty, and the Five Transversal Lenses

Before fitting any parameter, selecting predictive architectures, or estimating probability distributions, every technical claim, scientific hypothesis, or operational model must auditably answer three structural questions:

1. In which ontological layer can the system fail (World $L_1$, Model $L_2$, or Agent $L_3$)?
2. Which class of uncertainty threatens inference validity (Aleatory, Parametric/Structural Epistemic, or Knightian)?
3. Which severe test — endowed with genuine empirical or logical refutation power — supports the confidence placed in the claim?

1.1. Dynamics of the Three Ontological Layers ($L_1 \to L_2 \to L_3 \to L_1$)

On Bridge $L_3 \to L_1$, when a model parameterized by $\theta \in \Theta$ supports consequential decisions, deploying $\theta$ causally alters the environment and induces $Z = (X, Y) \sim \mathcal{D}(\theta)$. Performance is governed by Performative Risk $\mathrm{PR}(\theta)$ and Decoupled Performative Risk $\mathrm{DPR}(\theta, \phi)$ (Perdomo, Zrnic, Mendler-Dünner & Hardt):

$$\mathrm{PR}(\theta) \triangleq \mathbb{E}_{Z \sim \mathcal{D}(\theta)}[\ell(Z; \theta)], \qquad \mathrm{DPR}(\theta, \phi) \triangleq \mathbb{E}_{Z \sim \mathcal{D}(\theta)}[\ell(Z; \phi)]$$

• Performative Stability ($\theta_{\mathrm{PS}}$): $\theta_{\mathrm{PS}} = \arg\min_{\phi \in \Theta} \mathrm{DPR}(\theta_{\mathrm{PS}}, \phi)$ — fixed point of Repeated Risk Minimization ($\mathrm{RRM}$).
• Performative Optimality ($\theta_{\mathrm{PO}}$): $\theta_{\mathrm{PO}} = \arg\min_{\theta \in \Theta} \mathrm{PR}(\theta)$ — Stackelberg equilibrium anticipating the strategic reaction of the population, attained via Performative Gradient Descent (PerfGD, Izzo, Ying & Zou 2021) along the total performative gradient $\nabla_\theta \mathrm{PR}(\theta) = \nabla_1 \mathrm{DPR}(\theta,\theta) + \nabla_2 \mathrm{DPR}(\theta,\theta)$ (PerformativeSystem::perfgd_trajectory).
• Canonical Linear Benchmark: Under $Y(\theta) = \mu + \varepsilon \theta + \xi$ and loss $\ell(z; \phi) = \frac{\gamma}{2}(y - \phi)^2 - \alpha \phi$, passive learning yields $\theta_{\mathrm{SL}} = \mu + \frac{\alpha}{\gamma}$, retraining converges to $\theta_{\mathrm{PS}} = \frac{\mu + \alpha / \gamma}{1 - \varepsilon}$ (reducing to $\frac{\mu}{1 - \varepsilon}$ when $\alpha = 0$), whereas the true Stackelberg optimum minimizing $\mathrm{PR}(\theta) = \frac{\gamma}{2}[(1 - \varepsilon)\theta - \mu]^2 + \frac{\gamma}{2}\sigma^2 - \alpha\theta$ is $\theta_{\mathrm{PO}} = \frac{\mu}{1 - \varepsilon} + \frac{\alpha}{\gamma(1 - \varepsilon)^2}$. Under Wasserstein-1 sensitivity $W_1(\mathcal{D}(\theta), \mathcal{D}(\theta’)) \le \varepsilon \lVert\theta - \theta’\rVert_2$, $\gamma$-strong convexity, and $\beta$-smoothness, $\mathrm{RRM}$ contracts linearly if and only if $\frac{\varepsilon \beta}{\gamma} < 1$.

1.2. Uncertainty Typing: Kennedy-O’Hagan Discrepancy and Info-Gap + Sniedovich Safeguard

1. Aleatory Uncertainty (aleatory, $L_1$): Irreducible variability; demands safety margins and exposure control.
2. Parametric Epistemic Uncertainty (epistemic_parameter, $L_2$): Reducible ignorance about finite parameters $\theta$; uses Laplace’s rule of succession $\hat{p} = \frac{s+1}{n+2}$ in small samples.
3. Structural Epistemic Uncertainty (epistemic_specification, $L_2$): Formulated via Kennedy-O’Hagan Structural Discrepancy: $$y(x) = \eta(x, \theta) + \delta(x) + \varepsilon, \qquad \delta(x) \sim \mathcal{GP}(m(x), k(x, x’))$$ with anchoring constraints to prevent parameter pseudo-convergence and extrapolation overconfidence, solved via exact Cholesky decomposition $K_y = LL^\top$ and calibrated via Empirical Bayes Type-II maximum marginal likelihood $\log p(y \mid X, \ell, \sigma_\delta)$ (KennedyOHaganDiscrepancy::calibrate_empirical_bayes).
4. Knightian Uncertainty (knightian, $L_3$): Formulated via Info-Gap Decision Theory (Ben-Haim) coupled with Sniedovich’s Global Maximin Safeguard (Wald): $$\hat{\alpha}(q, r_c) = \max\left\lbrace\alpha \ge 0 : \min_{u \in \mathcal{U}(\alpha, \tilde{u})} R(q, u) \ge r_c\right\rbrace, \qquad \hat{\beta}(q, r_w) = \min\left\lbrace\alpha \ge 0 : \max_{u \in \mathcal{U}(\alpha, \tilde{u})} R(q, u) \ge r_w\right\rbrace$$ Enforces the zero-ing property ($\hat{\alpha}(q, R(q, \tilde{u})) = 0$) and requires a global Wald Maximin floor outside $\mathcal{U}(\hat{\alpha}, \tilde{u})$ to prevent catastrophic collapse in “No-Man’s Land”.

   • Fano’s Error Floor: $H(P_e) + P_e \ln(|\mathcal{W}| - 1) \ge H(W) - I(W; Z)$.

   • Hill Estimator $\hat{\alpha}_{k,n} = \left(\frac{1}{k}\sum_{i=1}^k \ln \frac{X_{(n-i+1)}}{X_{(n-k)}}\right)^{-1}$, moment regimes ($\alpha \le 1$, $1 < \alpha \le 2$, $\alpha > 2$), Dekkers-Einmahl-de Haan (1989) Moment Tail Index $\hat{\xi}_{\mathrm{DEdH}} = M_{k,n}^{(1)} + 1 - \frac{1}{2}\bigl(1 - (M_{k,n}^{(1)})^2 / M_{k,n}^{(2)}\bigr)^{-1} \in \mathbb{R}$ (dedh_moment_tail_index), Pickands-Balkema-de Haan Peaks-Over-Threshold GPD via Hosking-Wallis probability-weighted moments (gpd_pot_fit), and Expected Shortfall ($\mathrm{ES}_{0.99} / \mathrm{CVaR}_{0.99}$) (expected_shortfall_99).
4. Lens 4 — Structure and Invariance (stochology_lenses::invariance):
   • Pearl’s Causal Ladder (1-See, 2-Act, 3-Imagine), Invariant Causal Prediction ($\hat{S}^{\ast} = \bigcap_{S:\text{invariant}} S$), environment OLS invariance penalty (env_ols_invariance_penalties), Chow (1960) Structural Break $F$-Statistic across environments (chow_invariance_f_stat), nonlinear ICP and NILE/IRM risk-gradient penalty over the 3-atom orthonormal Hermite basis $\Phi(z) = \bigl[z, \frac{z^2-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{z^3-3z}{\sqrt{6}}\bigr]$ (run_nonlinear_icp_nile), 2nd-order worst-case loss, Rosenbaum’s $\Lambda^{\ast}$, and Cinelli & Hazlett (2020) Omitted-Variable Bias Robustness Value ($RV_q$) (cinelli_hazlett_robustness_value).
5. Lens 5 — Decision and Calibration (stochology_lenses::decision):
   • Cost-Loss Boundary $p > p^{\ast} \triangleq \frac{C}{\eta L}$, Expected Value of Perfect Information ($\mathrm{EVPI}$), Richardson (2000) Relative Economic Value $V(p^{\ast}) = \frac{E_{\text{climate}} - E_{\text{forecast}}}{E_{\text{climate}} - E_{\text{perfect}}}$ (CostLossRule::relative_economic_value), and Logarithmic (Ignorance) Score with Cromwell floor (logarithmic_score).
   • Exact Isotonic CORP-Murphy Decomposition via Pool-Adjacent-Violators (PAV): $$\mathrm{BS} = \mathrm{REL}_{\mathrm{CORP}} - \mathrm{RES}_{\mathrm{CORP}} + \mathrm{UNC}_0$$
   • Exact Fair-Coin Calibration vs. Decision Benchmark (ExactCoinCalibrationBenchmark, $p_0 = 0.50$), proving that decision agreement at a fixed threshold $p^{\ast}_A$ does not imply calibrated probabilities when the threshold shifts to $p^{\ast}_B$.

2. Structured Communication Contract, Prohibitions, and Boundary Invariants

2.1. The Four Prohibitions

• Prohibition 1: Ban on unstructured free prose between modules/agents; all claims transit via EpistemologicalCard (cards/*.yaml).
• Prohibition 2: Ban on the lone mean under nonlinearity or heavy tails; mandatory reporting of $f(\mathbb{E}[X]), \mathbb{E}[f(X)], \Delta_J, \text{median}, q_{05}, q_{95}, \mathrm{CRPS}$.
• Prohibition 3: Ban on confusing predictive fit with causal/performative validity; mandatory audit of $\theta_{\mathrm{PS}}$ vs. $\theta_{\mathrm{PO}}$ and $\frac{\varepsilon\beta}{\gamma} < 1$.
• Prohibition 4: Ban on dogmatic extremes ($0%$ or $100%$, Cromwell’s Rule $p \in [\varepsilon_{\text{floor}}, 1 - \varepsilon_{\text{floor}}]$) and omitted attempts ($K \ge 1$, e-process $E_t$, and CORP-Murphy decomposition).

2.2. The Five Boundary Invariants ($\Phi_1$ to $\Phi_5$)

• $\Phi_1$ (Simulability): Fixed seed (seed = 2026, SplitMix64 with uniform, normal, exponential, Marsaglia-Tsang Gamma, Beta, Student-$t$, and Poisson samplers, Welford-Terriberry 4th-order OnlineMoments, and block bootstrap block_bootstrap_ci) and executable generative null model.
• $\Phi_2$ (Independent Unit & Exceedance Design Effect): Moulton-Campbell unequal-cluster correction $\tilde{m} = \bar{m}(1 + \mathrm{CV}^2(m_j))$, threshold exceedance ICC $\rho_I(p)$, $n_{\mathrm{eff}}(p) = \frac{n}{1 + (\tilde{m} - 1)\rho_I(p)}$, and multi-quantile exceedance profiles (ExceedanceDesignEffect::profile_across_quantiles).
• $\Phi_3$ (Severe Test & Missingness): Rubin classification (MCAR, MAR, MNAR), SHA-256 and RFC 2104 HMAC-SHA256 pre-registration seal, and Pearl’s Ladder rung.
• $\Phi_4$ (Scope, Fairness & Exit): Chouldechova’s binary algebraic impossibility identity $\mathrm{FPR}_g = \frac{p_g}{1-p_g}\frac{1-\mathrm{PPV}_g}{\mathrm{PPV}_g}(1-\mathrm{FNR}_g)$, Kleinberg-Mullainathan-Raghavan (KMR 2017) continuous score impossibility gap $\mathrm{Var}_g(S) = p_g(1 - p_g)(m_{g,+} - m_{g,-})$ (ChouldechovaAudit::kmr_continuous_impossibility_gap), scope statement, and numeric exit clause.
• $\Phi_5$ (Question Resolution): Ban on answering daily/shift operational decisions with coarse annual/monthly aggregates.

2.3. Epistemological Card Schema (EpistemologicalCard)

Every claim is serialized in YAML (cards/*.yaml) and validated by EpistemologicalCard::audit(), carrying top-level scalars (id, layer, uncertainty) and five structured sections:

• decision_maker_question: who_decides, altered_action, and question (ending in '?').
• epistemological_header: generating_process, nonlinearity ($f(\mathbb{E}[X]), \mathbb{E}[f(X)], \Delta_J, \text{median}, q_{05}, q_{95}, \mathrm{CRPS}$), unit_and_margin (independent_unit, nominal_sample_size_n, weighted_cluster_mean_m_tilde, threshold_exceedance_icc, effective_sample_size_n_eff, unit_margin_of_error), noise_physics (stochastic_regime, absorbing_states, bridge_L3_L1_performativity), and causal_ladder (pearl_rung, identification_strategy, untestable_assumption).
• uncertainty_budget_and_authorship: variance_budget (inputs, parameters, covariance, structural_discrepancy_gp), dominant_event (description, probability_p, base_rate_floor_epsilon, cost_share), info_gap_robustness (critical_requirement_rc, robustness_horizon_alpha_hat, opportuneness_horizon_beta_hat, global_maximin_safeguard), and field_authorship (null_model, decision_rule, adversarial_reviewer).
• data_and_audit_contract: dataset_path, dataset_sha256 (64-char SHA-256 verified against data/SHA256SUMS), missingness_mechanism, seed_and_environment, null_model, preregistration_hash (64-char SHA-256 over pre-analysis design payload), attempt_counter_K, e_process_multiplicity, murphy_corp_decomposition (total_score_brier_or_crps, miscalibration_REL_MCB, resolution_RES_DSC, base_uncertainty_UNC0), and findings (registered, used, unused).
• decision_rule_and_scope: event_probability_p, base_rate_floor_epsilon, protection_cost_C, event_loss_L, mitigation_efficacy_eta, critical_threshold_p_star, declared_act, scope_statement, who_pays_for_error (Chouldechova audit), and exit_clause.

3. Eliminatory Funnel and 8-Step SIGA Operational Roadmap

3.1. The 4 Eliminatory Filters (stochology_siga::funnel)

Evaluated in strict sequence with immediate short-circuiting on failure:

1. Filter 1 (Economic & Resolution): Requires $\mathrm{EVPI} > C_{\text{total}} \ge 0$, non-degenerate $p^\ast = \frac{C}{\eta L} \in (0, 1)$, and $\Phi_5$ temporal resolution alignment ($R_{\text{data}} \ge R_{\text{decision}}$).
2. Filter 2 (Cluster Independence & Causal Structure): Requires Moulton-Campbell tail-exceedance effective sample size $n_{\mathrm{eff}}(p) \ge n_{\min}$, mapped Markov Blanket, and zero conditioning on a Berkson collider.
3. Filter 3 (Simulation-Based Calibration & Elicitation): Requires Simulation-Based Calibration (SBC) rank uniformity ($\chi^2 \le \chi^2_{\text{crit}}$), SHELF quartile consistency ($L_{\text{phys}} < q_{25} < q_{50} < q_{75} < U_{\text{phys}}$), and parametric $\mathrm{Beta}(\hat{\alpha}, \hat{\beta})$ prior calibration via Lanczos log-Gamma and Lentz continued-fraction regularized incomplete Beta (fit_shelf_beta_prior).
4. Filter 4 (Pre-Registration, Cross-Authorship & Exit): Requires valid 64-character lowercase SHA-256 pre-registration hash, distinct modeler and verifier IDs, and an explicit numeric exit clause.

3.2. The 8-Step SIGA Roadmap, Evidence Processes, and Natural Frequencies (stochology_siga::roadmap)

• 8-Step SIGA Execution: Executes Survey the Layer & Bridge (Steps 1–2), Interrogate the Decision-Maker (Steps 3–4), Generate the Null & Noise Physics (Steps 5–6), and Act with Threshold, Memory & Exit (Steps 7–8).
• Anytime-Valid Evidence Process (e-process): Computes $E_t = \prod_{i=1}^t L_i$ as well as non-parametric predictable GRAPA Kelly betting martingales $E_t = \prod_{i=1}^t \bigl(1 + \lambda_i(X_i - \mu_0)\bigr)$ (EvidenceProcess::from_grapa_betting, Grünwald, de Heide & Koolen 2024; Waudby-Smith & Ramdas 2024) with optional Ville’s inequality threshold $E_t / K \ge 1 / \alpha$.
• Gigerenzer Natural Frequencies: Translates prevalence, sensitivity, and false-positive rate into integer natural trees ($N = 1000$ or $10000$) to eliminate base-rate neglect.

4. Bitemporal Production Governance, Vault, and Drift Adaptation

4.1. Bitemporal Clock, Synthetic Canary, and Single-Opening Vault (stochology_governance::{clock, vault})

• Bitemporal Asymmetry ($t_{\text{disp}} \ge t_{\text{ev}}$): Filters feature records strictly by system availability timestamp $t_{\text{disp}} \le \tau$ rather than event timestamp $t_{\text{ev}}$, and injects a high-cardinality synthetic canary column ($I(\text{Canary}; Y) = 0$) whose non-zero importance triggers an immediate look-ahead intrusion alarm.
• Single-Opening Temporal Vault (TemporalVault): Enforces a cryptographic SHA-256 pre-registration seal (re-verified at opening time with VaultError::SealTampered on payload mutation) and an immutable single-opening lock (opened_count: 0 -> 1). Any non-positive confirmation outcome automatically downgrades the study to ExploratoryHypothesisGenerating, and any second opening attempt is blocked.

4.2. Murphy-CORP Circuit Breaker, Covariate Drift (ExTRA-WCP-T), Online ACI, and Label Shift (stochology_governance::drift)

• Murphy-CORP Circuit Breaker: Separates pure Covariate/Target Shift ($\Delta\mathrm{REL}_{\mathrm{CORP}} > \tau_{\mathrm{REL}}, \Delta\mathrm{RES}_{\mathrm{CORP}} \approx 0$) from Concept Drift ($\Delta\mathrm{RES}_{\mathrm{CORP}} < -\tau_{\mathrm{RES}}$), halting automated predictions under concept breakdown.
• Covariate Drift Adaptation (ExTRA-WCP-T) & Online Adaptive Conformal Inference (AdaptiveConformalInference): Fits exponential tilt density ratios $\hat{w}(x) = \exp(\hat{\theta}^\top \phi(x) - \hat{\psi})$ for weighted conformal intervals with Lei & Candès coverage lower bound $1 - \alpha - d_{\mathrm{TV}}(P_X, Q_X)$, and adapts threshold quantiles online under non-exchangeable time series via Gibbs & Candès (2021) $\alpha_{t+1} = \alpha_t + \gamma(\alpha - \mathrm{err}_t)$.
• Label Shift Adaptation (4 Canonical Estimators): Simultaneously estimates target class priors $q_Y$ via BBSE ($q = C^{-1}\mu$), MLLS/SLD (EM fixed point), DFM (characteristic-function kernel matching with condition number $\kappa(M)$), and OTTER (Sinkhorn-Knopp optimal transport scaling with golden-section sub-grid refinement).
