Strict inclusion conjecture for causal information integration and causal information structure

About 6 years old · traced to

Let MCII\mathcal{M}_{CII} denote the model of causal information integration and let MCIS\mathcal{M}_{CIS} denote the model of causal information structure, with MCII⊆MCIS\mathcal{M}_{CII}\subseteq\mathcal{M}_{CIS}. Approximation is understood with respect to the distribution space under consideration. Strict inclusion conjecture. It is not possible to approximate every distribution Q∈MCISQ\in\mathcal{M}_{CIS} with arbitrary accuracy by an element P∈MCIIP\in\mathcal{M}_{CII}. Therefore,

MCII⊊MCIS.\mathcal{M}_{CII}\subsetneq\mathcal{M}_{CIS}.

The conjecture would show that allowing the state space of WW to grow does not make the causal information integration model coincide with the causal information structure model. It is based on numerically calculated examples, and no resolution is given here.
