When Does Information Sharing Improve Decentralized Discovery? Aggregation, Independent Rescue, and Equilibrium Selection
Why it matters
The article presents a theoretical model on information sharing in decentralized discovery, demonstrating conditions under which pooled estimates improve outcomes compared to independent actions. The research highlights that a registered incremental-sharing protocol can enhance discovery when pooled residual error contracts faster than independent rescue attempts, with results dependent on signal accuracy and equilibrium selection. The models are synthetic and do not involve real-world data or organizations.
Expected market reaction
The article does not provide direct evidence of market-relevant events, assets, or sectors. The theoretical framework may indirectly influence research into AI-driven decision-making, data-sharing protocols, or decentralized systems, but no specific transmission mechanism to public markets is identifiable from the content.
Risks
- The article is a theoretical mathematical model with no empirical or market-relevant data
- No named assets, sectors, or organizations are referenced, limiting direct market impact assessment

arXiv:2609.01814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information sharing can improve a pooled estimate while eliminating independent rescue actions. This paper separates those effects in exact finite discovery models. A centralized action-budget profile shows that equal one-person accuracy can coexist with different portfolio values. Under a registered incremental-sharing protocol, a sharing step improves discovery exactly when pooled residual error contracts faster than an independent rescue attempt. Exact bounded registries exhibit compression, aggregation, neutral curves, and a bounded zero mixed class. In a two-agent Bayesian game with a hidden mixture of common and independent signal sources, the registered selected equilibrium yields a strict positive sharing interval at signal accuracy 3/5, while alternative equilibria show that the result is selection-dependent rather than universal. The models are synthetic and finite; no human or organizational data are used.
