Exposure budgetb

3Regime

How much optimization pressure an evaluator absorbs, recorded in the optimizer's own unit (candidates, KL, developer iterations, queries, self-modification events), with the induced shift D(Q_b ‖ P_0) where measurable. There is no universal unit.

Also called: optimization budget, exposure

Defined in

Handbook · RegimeExposure, modification, and accessWho consumes the signal, who optimizes against it, how hard, what they can change, and what they can see.
Exploitability curve
Disagreement between an evaluator and an independent reference anchor as a function of optimization exposure b. b* is the largest tested exposure before divergence exceeds a predeclared tolerance.
