arXiv:2606.11171v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gaussian-process upper confidence bound (GP-UCB) and decision-estimation-coefficient (DEC) methods may appear, at first sight, to belong to different theories. This paper places the two viewpoints in a common algorithmic-information language for frequentist RKHS bandits. GP-UCB fixes an algorithmic, rather than true, Gaussian-process prior and exploits realized-trajectory complexity together with computational tractability, whereas MAMS optimizes a robust class-wide MAIR/DEC envelope. Through the unified MAIR framework and heterogeneous positive-
