The Entropy of Choice
A Boundary-Complexity Hypothesis for Decision Intelligence
Proposes that useful policy capacity may depend more on the complexity of action-changing regions than on the full volume of the state space. The paper presents a covering-number argument and a falsifiable experimental programme.

The Entropy of Choice: Mathematical Appendices
Mathematical Appendices to the Boundary-Complexity Hypothesis
States the boundary covering bound under explicit assumptions, narrows the rate-distortion and free-energy claims, separates the physical analogy from the mathematical result, and defines a concrete falsification protocol.
Independent mathematical supplement. Not peer-reviewed. Quantum and hardware implications are conditional research questions.
