Beta-universality conjecture for bounded-type Benford sequences
Beta-universality conjecture for bounded-type Benford sequences
Let be a sequence satisfying Benford's Law through equidistribution dynamics, and suppose the continued fraction of its rotation number is of bounded type, meaning that . Let denote its effective conditional-mutual-information decay exponent. Beta-universality conjecture. For every such sequence,
with the same leading coefficient . The conjecture formalizes the computationally observed quadratic decay for bounded-type bases. Establishing it would require controlling the asymptotic CMI error uniformly across all bounded-type equidistribution dynamics.
