Representation Efficiency
AI Summary
Representation efficiency is the economic value of being easier for AI systems to understand.
Canonical Definition
The economic advantage gained through structured, complete, and machine-readable representation that reduces the computational cost of AI-mediated discovery and selection. Representation efficiency is measured by the reduction in discovery friction and the increase in selection visibility.
Extended Summary
Representation Efficiency quantifies the economic value of optimized representation. Better structured data reduces computational cost for AI systems, increasing selection visibility. Measured through Representation Efficiency Score (RES), discovery cost measurements, and selection rate comparisons.
