Biprofile Deviation Logic: Report-Replacement Frames and Audit Witnesses

Logic in Computer Science 2026-05-14 v1 Computer Science and Game Theory

Abstract

Biprofile deviation logic models strategic social choice states as pairs (R,P)(R,P), where RR is the true profile used for welfare comparisons and PP is the submitted report profile used by the rule. Coalition modalities replace only the reports of the coalition, and their relations satisfy the fixed law ECED=ECDE_C \circ E_D = E_{C \cup D}. The paper proves soundness and completeness of HbpH_{\mathrm{bp}} for the abstract frame class Dev(N)\mathrm{Dev}(N), with the reverse-composition midpoint displayed inside the canonical proof. It then separates abstract Dev(N)\mathrm{Dev}(N)-components from genuine report-coordinate products by coordinate separation. On the social-choice side, the classical facts supply the source notions; the paper-specific contribution is the audit layer for representation changes: typed manipulation witnesses, a boundary-row theorem for off-domain extensions, and a factor-closure criterion for public deletions. The ancillary material contains the input formats, an executable certificate checker, Lean and Alloy companions for the finite relational lemmas and update patterns, recorded run logs, and checksums.
