Primes¶
- Proxy–Target Fidelity
- The fidelity is the degree to which raising CTR raises satisfaction, and it is exactly the use-relative, regime-relative quantity the prime names: across a broad population in a stable product, CTR may correlate decently with satisfaction (the descriptive regime), but under optimization pressure the fidelity erodes — the system learns to raise clicks through clickbait, outrage, and compulsive-but-unsatisfying engagement, raising the proxy while lowering the target.
