arXiv:2601.10034v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: What connects minimal decision-making to contextual probability? We address this question through the Tug-of-War (TOW) principle, a resource-coupled mechanism for multi-armed bandit decision-making. Starting from classical probability, we show that when reward-learning functionality and specified information requirements are fixed, minimizing the necessary relaxation of common event semantics can lead to nonclassical probability. We derive the exact minimum semantic repair and identify the conditions under which information efficiency,
