Obfuscation–plausibility exchange rate

Determine the exchange rate between obfuscation and plausibility in Theorem 6 for the Multi-Layer Context Camouflaging Theory, thereby establishing how the competing obfuscation ceiling and language-model plausibility ceiling should be balanced.

Background

The framework imposes two competing requirements on the laminated assessment field: it should be sufficiently dissimilar from the authentic item to obstruct an adversary, while camouflage tokens should remain sufficiently plausible to avoid detection by a LLM. Theorem 6 quantifies how semantic filtering reduces the adversary’s residual ambiguity, but the paper does not provide a principled method for choosing the trade-off between these objectives.

The unresolved issue is therefore not merely selecting a camouflage density, but determining how obfuscation and plausibility should be jointly optimized in a way that is robust to the adversary’s semantic model rather than tuned only against a held-out model.

The open problems we would most like to see addressed are the exchange rate between obfuscation and plausibility in Theorem 6, a construction for the inversion operator satisfying conditions C1 to C3 at useful density, and the conflict between screen-reader accessibility and resistance to class A3.
