Back to manuscript

Suppose one of is fixed for independent point trials and noiseless target feedback is received after each prediction. Retain all functions consistent with the observed point-label pairs. The probability that any incorrect distinct function remains after feedback trials is at most

The duplicate IDs 1 and 2 remain observationally identical within that fixed-rule experiment.

Proof. An incorrect function survives each fresh trial with probability . For all distinct effective function pairs, (eq:disagreementmatrix) gives . Independence makes its survival probability at most . Union bound over the two incorrect functions.

IDs 1 and 2 prescribe identical labels for every point, so their point-label laws are identical.
