Sharp binary-channel information contraction on the cube
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 119; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that among binary summaries with fixed information on a uniform cube, a noisy coordinate retains the most information, including the Courtade--Kumar bound and a bias-sensitive refinement.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
On the uniform cube $\Omega_n=\{-1,1\}^n$, $n\ge0$, take any soft binary channel $u:\Omega_n\to[-1,1]$. Define, using natural logarithms, \[ H(r)=-\tfrac{1+r}2\log\tfrac{1+r}2-\tfrac{1-r}2\log\tfrac{1-r}2, \quad\psi(r)=\log2-H(r),\quad I(u)=H(\mathbb Eu)-\mathbb EH(u). \] Under independent symmetric coordinate noise of mean $\rho\in[-1,1]$, $T_{\rho}$ is conditional averaging. The claimed sharp contraction is \[ I(T_{\rho} u)\le\psi(|\rho|\psi^{-1}(I(u))), \] where $\psi^{-1}$ is the increasing nonnegative branch from $[0,\log2]$ to $[0,1]$. For $n\ge1$, every $u(x)=ax_i$ with $|a|\le1$ attains equality. Output bias is unrestricted.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 119; 2026-09-24), a three-point configuration optimizes the local join. Separate entropy budgets and a reserve for thinning either common output close the dimension induction; integration of the mean-dependent entropy-production bound along the noise semigroup gives the sharp contraction.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 119; 2026-09-24), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: among binary summaries with fixed information on a uniform cube, a noisy coordinate retains the most information, including the Courtade--Kumar bound and a bias-sensitive refinement.The selected statement includes the clause used for this problem.

Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
