arXiv:2606.29092v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a changing decision problem, standard dynamic-regret analyses have often equated the cost of non-stationarity to how far loss moves. However, it is simultaneously possible for a loss sequence to travel far and retain the same optimal policy, or for a small movement in loss to force the optimal policy to change completely. Thus, the size of the movement through loss variation, transition variation, or comparator path length describe the adversary's motion, but not the cost of that motion to the control problem. For a more faithful analytic inte
