决策和信息存储中粗类别的最优性
The optimality of coarse categories in decision-making and information storage
摘要：
一个缺乏偏好的代理人，而是使用成本高昂的标准来做出决策，应该选择有效的标准集，其中做出给定数量的选择差异的成本最小化。在温和的条件下，效率要求每个标准只有两个类别的二元标准被选择。当应用于确定信息存储设备中的最佳位数的问题时，该结果意味着二进制位（位）是有效的解决方案，即使当使用附加位的边际成本迅速下降到0时。这篇简短的论文特别注意的对称性条件时，所涉及的标准是有效的。
英文摘要：
An agent who lacks preferences and instead makes decisions using criteria that are costly to create should select efficient sets of criteria, where the cost of making a given number of choice distinctions is minimized. Under mild conditions, efficiency requires that binary criteria with only two categories per criterion are chosen. When applied to the problem of determining the optimal number of digits in an information storage device, this result implies that binary digits (bits) are the efficient solution, even when the marginal cost of using additional digits declines rapidly to 0. This short paper pays particular attention to the symmetry conditions entailed when sets of criteria are efficient.
