 RLCF makes the social choice mechanism explicit through the bridging algorithm (matrix factorization with intercept scores). Unlike standard RLHF which aggregates preferences opaquely through reward model training, RLCF's use of intercepts as the training signal is a deliberate choice to optimize for cross-partisan agreement—a specific social welfare function.

+
+The trilemma formalizes why implicit social choice in RLHF fails: the computational constraint (polynomial tractability) forces systems to sacrifice either representativeness or robustness, making the social choice function structurally biased regardless of normative framework. Strategic relaxation pathways include constraining to K << |H| 'core' values (~30 universal principles) or accepting super-polynomial costs for high-stakes applications.

 Study demonstrates that models trained on different demographic populations show measurable behavioral divergence (3-5 percentage points), providing empirical evidence that single-reward functions trained on one population systematically misalign with others.

+Formal complexity bound: achieving epsilon <= 0.01 representativeness and delta <= 0.001 robustness requires 10^7-10^8 samples for global populations, while current systems use 10^3-10^4 samples from homogeneous pools — a 3-4 order of magnitude gap. The alignment gap is not just proportional to minority distinctiveness but grows super-polynomially with context dimensionality.
