Revelation Control

Revelation Control studies how to price interventions that reveal hidden state only when the revealed distinctions can alter a consequential decision, while separately accounting for any useful progress the intervention itself creates. The authors develop a framework for learning systems that defines decision‑sufficient revelation, revelation depth, and a cost‑adjusted factorization criterion, and they provide a target‑independent protocol for model‑specific instantiation. Experiments on Qwen2.5‑7B and Mistral‑7B‑v0.3 show that deeper future‑learning probes have positive decision value and that productive reuse yields strict equal‑compute utility advantages, supporting a structural transfer of the decision theory and evaluation protocol across architectures.
