On the Foundations of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.24904v1 Announce Type: new We prove that platform-deterministic inference is necessary and sufficient for trustworthy AI. We formalize this as the Determinism Thesis and entropy to quantify the cost of non-determinism, proving that verification failure probability equals 1 - 2^{-H_T} exactly. We prove a Determinism-Verification Collapse: verification under determinism requires O(1) hash comparison; without it, the verifier faces an intractable membership problem. IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic fundamentally violates the determinism requirement.
