Paper 4: Cost-Penalized Interface Games
Executive Overview
This paper formalizes Donald Hoffman's "Fitness Beats Truth" (FBT) theorem through an Information Bottleneck framework. We penalize the veridical "Truth" perceptual strategy with the metabolic cost of information processing bounded by Landauer's principle. By evaluating formal replicator dynamics and trajectory analysis, we mathematically prove the asymptotic extinction of veridical perception. This establishes the heuristic, fitness-tuned perceptual encoder as a strict Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS) due to the thermodynamic cost of high-fidelity homomorphic representation.
